Ask Precise Questions: Reading

Read how precise questions expose assumptions and produce trustworthy evidence.

Read three C1 texts — an essay on interviewing, a workplace case study and a research article — and focus on argument, stance, implication and meaning in context.

  • ✓ Identify the central argument of an analytical text.
  • ✓ Infer implied meaning and the writer's stance.
  • ✓ Work out the meaning of words and references from context.
  • ✓ Recognise how questions can be leading, ambiguous or precise.

    A short text about one person. First read it for the main idea.

  2. Answer 6 questions

    Who, where, what, true or false… You can open the text again at any time.

  3. See what you understood

    Then the next text. After all 3, you get your reading result.
