How is this book going to help me?

In this book, you will look at each of the four tasks one by one, starting with Task 1. A simple step-by-step approach is used to
show you how to do each task and the skills you will need to use to manage your time and do well in the exam.
How can I practise and improve my reading and writing exam skills?
First, read this guide to the exam and do the exercises in it. Follow the guide step-by-step. This will help you understand
more about the format of the exam, exam skills and what you need to do in each task.
Next, do the exam practice tests that are also supplied in this book. Try to complete them in exam conditions this means
only allow yourself the amount of time you have in the real exam.
But you can also do more. The reading and writing skills you will learn here are not just for the exam. They are useful skills
you will need to use throughout your education. You can apply and practise many of these skills in other subjects, when you
have to do reading comprehension and answer related questions and when you have to produce written answers.

And you can also get extra practice and make your English-language learning more interesting by reading and writing about
things you enjoy in your free time. Here are some examples of what we mean by this:
Reading practice Read English-language magazines, newspapers or online articles, or online posts about things you are
interested in (e.g. rock bands or celebrities). Then think about what youve read and try to put the information in your own
words. For example, when you read an article, think of your own title for it and your own headings for the paragraphs.
Write summaries of the paragraphs in your own words. Highlight the really important or interesting sentences. Use your
dictionary to help you understand new words and build your vocabulary.
Writing practice After you read these English-language articles, write about them. Maybe there is interesting information
you want to share with other people. Write a blog post summarising what youve read. You have your own opinions. If
the author gives an opinion, think: do I agree with what the author said? Write a blog post sharing your thoughts on the
subject. Or, if the article is from a newspaper or magazine and the topic is important to you, write a letter to the editor
expressing your views. If you have a friend who you think would like to know about what you read, write them an email.
Use these opportunities to make practice a normal part of your routine. Hopefully, it will feel more natural and fun then.
It may even be easier because you are interested in what you are reading and writing about. And the great thing is you
are still practising exam skills.
Writing practice When you watch a good (or bad) film, when you read a book, or when you go to a restaurant for a
meal, blog about your experience. Write a review of the film, book or place. Describe it and think about why you liked
or didnt like it. Or share your experience with a friend. Write an email telling them why they should or shouldnt watch
the film, read the book or go to the place.
Writing practice Keep a diary. Write letters to yourself about your experiences that day, week or month. Write about
what happened at school. Write about your weekend activities. Write about your holidays. Or, if keeping a diary is too
old-fashioned, blog about all your experiences. But be careful not to share private information on the internet.
The point is, you can practise all the skills that you will learn in this book in a way that is more natural, meaningful and interest-
ing for you. Try it! Your English will improve and hopefully you will enjoy the learning experience more because it will feel more
real and relevant.
Then, as you come closer to the exam, you may want to think about reading and writing about exam-specific topics. If you do
want to do that, here are some topics you should focus on: Travel; Money; Fashion; Rules and regulations; Health and fitness;
Learning a foreign language; Festivals; Means of transport; Special occasions; Entertainment; Music.

TRINITY ISE I Preparation for Task 1 Long reading

SECTION 1: Questions 1-5 (Title matching)

Soon were going to look at our first long reading text. The text is about snowboarding. The topic comes under the general
exam theme of Health and Fitness. First lets think about what we already know about the subject. Look at the pictures and
answer the questions (1-5). Write notes for your answers. Then discuss them with a partner if you can.

1. How many snow or winter sports do you know? List them. Do you like snow sports? Why?/Why not?
2. Which of the snow sports are more traditional and which are more modern?
3. Where do you think the idea for snowboarding came from?
4. Do you think snow sports are dangerous? What do athletes do to protect themselves?
5. What do you think slopestyle snowboarding is? Slopestyle snowboarding is shown in one of the pictures above.

Exercise 1
1. A. Now lets read the text. When you are reading a text, always have a reason or purpose for reading. That way,
you will focus better. Here is your purpose for reading this time: Read the text about slopestyle snowboarding and
choose the correct topic, A, B or C, for each paragraph.

Here, you are obviously not expected to know all these snowboarding terms and a number of other words
and phrases in the text. You should ignore unfamiliar vocabulary and just go for the general meaning (gist).

Slopestyle Snowboarding
Paragraph 1 Many people thought it was impossible, but Billy Morgan just proved them wrong. Hes become the first
slopestyle snowboarder to perform a trick called the 1800 quadruple cork. Basically, he went head over heels four times in
the air before landing his snowboard on the ground again without falling over. The video of his amazing achievement has
been viewed thousands of times on the internet. And now, suddenly, everyone wants to know what exactly slopestyle is.

A What slopestyle snowboarding is

B How to do the 1800 quadruple cork
C A special achievement in slopestyle snowboarding

Paragraph 2 Well, its a type of snowboarding that involves the boarder

following a course down a hill with different features on it, like rails and
jumps. The boarder has to do tricks on these features. The better the
tricks, the more points the boarder scores, and the boarder with the most
points at the end wins. The four main kinds of trick are spins, grabs, grinds
and flips. Boarders have to perform a variety of these tricks on the course.
A How to do slopestyle tricks
B What slopestyle snowboarding involves
C How to judge slopestyle tricks

TRINITY ISE I Preparation for Task 1 Long reading

Paragraph 3 The judges of slopestyle competitions look at four different areas. First of all, air or how high the board-
ers jumps are. The higher, the better. Secondly, degree of difficulty. Hard tricks to perform score more points than easy
ones. Thirdly, execution. This means how well the boarder does the trick. And lastly, style basically, the boarders trick
needs to look cool!

A The four areas of performance

B The four types of snowboard
C The number of competition judges

Paragraph 4 Slopestyle snowboarding is a quite new winter sport. The idea for it came from skateboarding and BMX
cycling. Snowboarders realised they could do similar tricks on the snow. It became popular in the early 2000s and
slopestyle competitions were held as part of the International X Games. But it was only in 2014 that slopestyle was
included in the Olympics for the first time, at the Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. The first Olympic champions were both
Americans Sage Kotsenburg for the men and Jamie Anderson for the women.

A The Olympic Games in Sochi

B A short history of slopestyle snowboarding
C A sport started in Russia

Paragraph 5 As well as snowboard slopestyle, there is a skiing form of the sport too. It uses short skis not the long ones
of traditional ski racing. Ski slopestyle also featured at the Olympics for the first time in 2014. Both sports are very young,
but they are becoming more and more popular thanks to the Olympic Games and thanks also to Billy Morgans amazing
trick seen by thousands of people online. Billy has done the impossible, so now people are wondering whats next. For
Billy, hopefully a first gold medal at the Olympics. For the sport, a very bright and successful future.

A A new film about Billy Morgan

B Billy Morgan wins a gold medal
C A positive future for slopestyle winter sports

1. B. If you are not sure of the correct headings, try to answer these questions about
paragraphs 1-5. They should help you with your choices. Answer Yes or No.
Paragraph 1
1. Does the paragraph explain what slopestyle snowboarding is in detail? No
_____
2. Does the paragraph explain how to do a special trick in detail? No
_____
3. Does the paragraph describe something special a slopestyle athlete did? Yes
_____
Paragraph 2
1. Does the paragraph tell you how to do a spin, a grab, a grind or a flip? No
_____
2. Does the paragraph tell you more information about the sport of slopestyle? Yes
_____
3. Does the paragraph tell you what you need to do to be a slopestyle judge? No
_____
Paragraph 3
1. Does the paragraph mention four different areas of slopestyle performance? Yes
_____
2. Does the paragraph mention different types of snowboard equipment? No
_____
3. Does the paragraph talk about the actual slopestyle judges in detail? No
_____
Paragraph 4
1. Is the paragraph mainly about the Olympic Games in Sochi? No

_____
Paragraph 5
1. Does the paragraph say an actual film was made about Billy Morgan? No
_____
2. Has Billy Morgan actually won an Olympic gold medal yet? No

Yes
3. Does the paragraph talk about more than one slopestyle sport and the future of these sports? _____

TRINITY ISE I Preparation for Task 1 Long reading

1. C. Hopefully, you have now chosen the right answers.

What did you notice about the incorrect answers? They had some features in them that could make you choose the wrong
answer. Of course, at the actual exam you are not likely to find such questions. The intention is rather to make sure getting the
right answer requires careful reading instead of simple word-spotting.
Match the wrong answers (1-3) to the main tricks used (A-C).

A The information seems very similar to what is said in

1. How to do the 1800 quadruple cork B
___ the paragraph, but the meaning is not exactly the same.
2. The Olympic Games in Sochi C
___ B A lot of words from the paragraph are repeated in the
3. Billy Morgan wins a gold medal A
___ heading so you need to read and think carefully.
C This topic is discussed in the paragraph but it is not the
main point or focus of the paragraph.

Watch out!
Exercise 1C has shown you how you could be confused. Billy Morgan wins a gold medal is wrong because it seems like what is
said in the text but the information in the text actually has a different meaning. The text says Billy Morgan will hopefully win a
first gold medal. He hasnt won yet. The Olympic Games in Sochi are discussed in the text BUT it is not the main focus of the
paragraph. The term 1800 quadruple cork is stated in the text BUT the text does not explain how to perform this move.

So, here is what we have learned:

Dont pick an answer just because it uses the same words as the actual paragraph. The meaning may be different.
Dont pick an answer just because the information is in the paragraph. It should be the main focus of the paragraph.
Read the answer carefully. Make sure the meaning matches what is said in the paragraph.

The good news is that there is only one wrong answer in the exam title-matching question. There are six headings and five are
correct. However, you still have to match the five correct headings to the right paragraphs. If two paragraphs are similar, use
the rule weve learned:
Read the heading carefully make sure it matches the main topic of the paragraph and the meaning is definitely the same.

Exercise 2
Example exam question
Now we are going to do an exam-style question related to the text. The exercises you have already done should help you.

Questions 1-5 (one mark per question)

The text about snowboarding has five paragraphs (1-5). Choose the best title for each paragraph from A-F below and write
the letter (A-F) on the lines below. There is one title you
dont need. A Boarder performs impossible new trick
B How the sport of slopestyle developed
1. A
Paragraph 1
F C The X Games in Russia
2. Paragraph 2
3. E
Paragraph 3 D Slopestyles big future
4. B
Paragraph 4 E What makes a good slopestyle performance
5. D
Paragraph 5 F What slopestyle snowboarding is

Reading for gist

Think about the exercises you have done so far. Did you need to understand every word in the text to get the answers
right? No. You just needed to understand the general idea and main points.
This is what Reading for gist is: reading a text or paragraph to get a general idea of what it is about. Remember, in the
exam, you only have about 20 minutes to complete all 15 questions in Task 1, so its important that you work quickly.
Reading for gist will help you do this. To complete questions 1-5 in the exam, read the text quickly and dont worry about
the words you dont understand. Write a short note in your own words about the topic of each paragraph after
you have finished reading it. Then compare the headings in the question with your notes. If youre still unsure of an
answer, skim (quickly read) the paragraph again to check.

Test 6
Task 1 Long reading
Read the following text about fashion and answer the 15 questions on the next page.

Fashion
Test 6

Paragraph 1
When you look at fashion shows or see the latest clothes for this year in a magazine, you might
think youve seen it all before. It sometimes seems that most of the designers are just going back to
ideas that have already been around at least once before. One year, the 1970s are back in fashion,
then the year after its the 90s, or even the 20s. If you really want to know what the future of fash-
ion is, you need to look at an area that is always looking forward: technology. The meeting point of
fashion and technology is where the really exciting new ideas are.

Paragraph 2
For several years now, people have been talking about wearable technology as the next big devel-
opment. In fact, some products that fit this description are already in the shops. You can buy watch-
es that do everything your smart phone can do, or glasses with computers in that follow your eye
movements and feed information to you as you walk around. But theres much more to wearable
technology than that.

Paragraph 3
Sports clothing is one area where new ideas are developing very fast. Runners and other sports people
already wear small computers on their wrists that give them continuous information about how fast
theyre running, how hard their bodies are working and so on. Soon, they will be able to wear light
shirts that do the same job, thanks to very thin electrical wires in the material. Experts agree that its
often sports people (usually young men) like snowboarders who are the first to take up new fashion
ideas. Others then follow.

Paragraph 4
Women, it seems, are usually more interested in what clothes look like than what they can do, and
technology has a part to play here too. Designers are already making clothes that can change colour
with how you are feeling, or react to sound. How about a dress you can wear to a night club and it
gets brighter as the music gets louder? And if you think that sounds unlikely, just think of all the
things we accept as quite normal today that seemed impossible or silly only ten years ago.

Paragraph 5
The main reason that things like this arent yet in normal shops is that they arent cheap. But, as
with all technological products, the price will surely come down fast. In any case, technological
clothing doesn't have to be expensive. Students and designers are experimenting with materials
and ideas that would be affordable to most people.

Text A

Dear Editor,

My daughter attends Carden High, a local state school, which is well known for its academic achievements.
I have always been extremely happy with the school and have agreed with all its decisions until now.
However, I received a letter from the Head yesterday, stating that all pupils will have to wear shirts, trousers
and ties.

I was worried, as was my daughter, to read the letter. My daughter cannot believe that she will have to
change her appearance so completely. We both think that the new rule is wrong.

Why do boys and girls have to wear the same clothing? If the school is really interested in making things
equal, there are other kinds of clothing they could choose as a uniform.

Yours faithfully,
Ann Lee

Text B

Jake: I think school uniforms at Carden High should change. Theyre too old-fashioned. I hate wearing them.
Lucy: Having to wear a uniform stops children asking their parents to buy them expensive clothes.
Henry: I agree. Its less expensive to wear a uniform than buying a whole set of clothes for school.
Warren: Anyway, I like wearing a uniform as it means you dont have to think about what to wear every day,
so it saves time.
Lyndsey: I dont think girls should be made to wear the same style clothing, though.
Stephanie: I agree, we need to have different styles for boys and girls.
Belinda: Wearing the same uniform means peoples characters become more important than their
appearance.

Whitehall School fashion show

Following a recent competition, held by Whitehall School, to find the best design for a new school uniform,
there was a show of the best designs last weekend.

Test 6
Students were asked to design a practical but stylish uniform for both male and female pupils at the school.
Pupils then made the top 20 designs into uniforms, with the help of some talented parents and teachers.

The designs were very original, but also practical. On the whole, they tended to be fashionable, with a move
away from traditional materials, such as cotton, to linen and even shiny materials, like satin.

In addition, patterned rather than plain shirts were popular. None of the uniforms had ties or other more
traditional things like school caps and scarves.
