I am Dori I am a teacher of English and in today's

video we will talk about Locating Information task

in IELTS Reading. So, in this task

they are going to give you a number of statements

that contain information from the

passage and you have to decide which

paragraph from the text contains

this information of the statement. This task

is very similar to a matching headings task but

in this case we don't have to choose titles

or headings of paragraphs we just have to decide

which paragraph contains this information of the statement

through the whole paragraph,ok? So, the best thing you can do

in this task is firstly, read

the statements very carefully and underline

key words that will help you locate them

in the text. Secondly, after that

you should scan the text in order to locate

these key words that you have underlined in the passage

and this is exactly where the technique

of scanning is really important

So, if you have doubts about how to scan effectively then you should check out

this video over here

about scanning and skimming effectively, ok? Now, thirdly,

once you locate the information in the text

through scanning then you should read

this section very carefully in order to confirm

your answer and be sure about it

Mind you there may be paragraphs that contain the information

of more than one questions- more than one statements

okay? So, if you pick a paragraph twice

then it doesn't really matter. Ok, now let's go and have a look

at one of these tasks. Ok, so here you can see

a Locating Information task. So, firstly,

underline key words for example in question 27

the phrases "not actual blindness"

and also "a decreased ability to see"

are some of the phrases that can help you

to locate them in the text through scanning

of course always always always remember that in the text

some of the words may be phrased differently, ok?

so, once you locate these phrases

read the section carefully in the text in order to be sure

that this is the paragraph you're looking for. Also, remember that a

paragraph

may contain more than one statements

and you may have to use it twice. Do not let that confuse you-

confuse you because for example maybe the statements

30 and 31 over here

may be found in the same paragraph. Ok, that's

it for today and with this task we complete the Reading section
