This was a preparation for IELTS
exam. In the IELTS exam you would get a text to read and then, after reading, a
task follows; something like you can see below.
Complete the summary below. Choose
your answers from the box at the bottom of the page and write them in boxes 1-8
on your answer sheet.
NB There are more words than spaces so you
will not use them all. You may use any of the words more than once.
List of Words
passengers
happy
float
advanced lifeboats
confident dangers ocean
worried inadequate
enormous excitement fast
handbook water afloat
record fast procedures
orders drown size
sink safety
What usually follows is something
that we call reading for a gist.
That means that you look quickly through the text and point out the key words to get an idea what is the text about.
Then concentrate on the task itself. You may
try to read the exercise and use words that you think could go there. They
could be synonyms of the words in the list. Then use the words given to fill in
the text.

Inadequate – not good enough
Record – the facts that are known about a company and its actions they have
done in the past
To have a
good safety record-.
Procedures - a set of actions that is the official or accepted way of doing
something
It was a very helpful lesson we
were given many useful tips on how to deal with such an exercise.
