31. What links the 18 places listed in the third paragraph?

(A) is incorrect. Choice A says "Its 'Henry' programme was suggested to Hawthorne experts.", but the passage evidence for the correct answer is "Like Norwood, Hawthorne has seen the strongest improvement among families in the most deprived areas". Because Choice A does not express that same idea, it should not be chosen.

(B) is incorrect. Choice B says "It was the first city worldwide to reduce obesity levels in children.", but the passage evidence for the correct answer is "Like Norwood, Hawthorne has seen the strongest improvement among families in the most deprived areas". Because Choice B does not express that same idea, it should not be chosen.

(C) is incorrect. Choice C says "It has faced more severe childhood obesity levels than Hawthorne.", but the passage evidence for the correct answer is "Like Norwood, Hawthorne has seen the strongest improvement among families in the most deprived areas". Because Choice C does not express that same idea, it should not be chosen.

(D) is correct. Choice D matches the question because "Its pattern of success in reducing childhood obesity is like that of Hawthorne." is the idea supported by the passage evidence: "Like Norwood, Hawthorne has seen the strongest improvement among families in the most deprived areas". The wording may be paraphrased, but it points to the same meaning.

Associated Text:

Questions 36-39
Complete the summary below.

Choose ONE WORD ONLY from the text for each answer from the passage for each answer.

Write your answers in 36-39 on your answer sheet.

The 'Henry' programme

'Henry' was used in Hawthorne from 2012 in the fight against childhood obesity. The programme deals with routines such as mealtimes and bedtimes, and it asks parents to set clear (36). during these periods. According to Kim Roberts, 'Henry' aims to help people become more (37).. as parents. In this way, they do not simply order children around, nor give them total freedom of choice as in a (38). parenting style. Instead, they allow children to make some decisions for themselves. This might be a choice of vegetable at the dinner table or a decision about where an evening (39). should be read. Lisa, a parent who joined the programme, felt enthusiastic about her children's responses to it and the effect it had overall on her family.

Use "Boundaries" because Henry helps parents "set boundaries".

Associated Text:
helps parents set boundaries

Use "Authoritative" because Henry teaches "authoritative parenting".

Associated Text:
teaches authoritative parenting

Use "Permissive" because the contrast is "Permissive parenting".

Associated Text:
Permissive parenting means asking children what they want to do.

Use "Story" because children may choose where to read their "story".

Associated Text:
choose where to read their story first

Question 40
Choose the correct letter, A, B, C or D.

Write your answers in box 40 on your answer sheet.

40. Which title is the most suitable for the text?

(A) is correct. Choice A matches the question because "A review of what 'Henry' has achieved in Hawthorne" is the idea supported by the passage evidence: "Hawthorne has become the first city in Canada to report a fall in childhood obesity after adopting a programme called 'Henry'". The wording may be paraphrased, but it points to the same meaning.

(B) is incorrect. Choice B says "'Henry's the greatest,' according to Hawthorne children", but the passage evidence for the correct answer is "Hawthorne has become the first city in Canada to report a fall in childhood obesity after adopting a programme called 'Henry'". Because Choice B does not express that same idea, it should not be chosen.

(C) is incorrect. Choice C says "Hawthorne parents explain how 'Henry' has helped them", but the passage evidence for the correct answer is "Hawthorne has become the first city in Canada to report a fall in childhood obesity after adopting a programme called 'Henry'". Because Choice C does not express that same idea, it should not be chosen.

(D) is incorrect. Choice D says "It's all about saying 'no', says 'Henry'", but the passage evidence for the correct answer is "Hawthorne has become the first city in Canada to report a fall in childhood obesity after adopting a programme called 'Henry'". Because Choice D does not express that same idea, it should not be chosen.

Tips to improve your reading speed
To get a high score on the IELTS reading section, you need to have a fast reading speed. To have a fast reading speed, you need to improve your vocabulary and practice dissecting sentences. One strategy to dissect a sentence is to look for the subject and verb of the sentence. Finding the subject and verb will help you better understand the main idea of said sentence. Keep in mind, a common feature of a IELTS reading passage is to join strings of ideas to form long compound sentences. This produces large chunks that students have a hard time absorbing. Do not get overwhelmed by its length, just look for the subject and verb, the rest of the ideas will flow.

Keep in mind, having a slow reading speed makes skimming or scanning a reading passage more difficult. The process of quickly skimming through a reading passage for specific keywords or main ideas is a requirement for you to employ successful reading strategies to improve your IELTS reading score. In other words, skimming and scanning are critical skills to ensure you complete all questions in the allotted time frame.
IELTS Reading Strategies
Once you can read and comprehend a passage with a rate of, at least, 220 words per minute, you'll be ready to start implementing our strategies. All too often, students spend too much time reading the passages and not enough time answering the questions. Here is a step by step guide for tackling the reading section.

  1. Step 1: Read questions first

    One of the most common mistakes that candidates make when approaching the reading exam is reading every single word of the passages. Although you can practice for the exam by reading for pleasure, "reading blindly" (reading without any sense of what the questions will ask) will not do you any favors in the exam. Instead, it will hurt your chances for effectively managing your time and getting the best score.

    The main reason to read the questions first is because the type of question may determine what you read in the passage or how you read it. For example, some question types will call for the "skimming" technique, while others may call for the "scanning" technique.

    It is important to answer a set of questions that are of the same question type. You'll need to determine which question type you want to tackle first. A good strategy would be to start with the easier question type and move on to more difficult question types later. The Easiest question types are the ones where you spend less time reading. For example, the Matching Heading question type is an easier one because you only need to find the heading that best describes the main idea of a paragraph. An example of a difficult question type would be Identifying Information. For this question type, you'll need to read each paragraph to find out if each statement is TRUE, FALSE, or NOT GIVEN according to the passage.

    Here is a table that lists the difficulty levels for each question type. Use this table as a reference when choosing which question type you want to tackle first.

    Medium Matching Features

    Summary, Table, Flow-Chart Completion
    Difficult Matching Sentence Endings
    Matching Information
    Identifying Information (TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN)
    Identifying Viewer's claims (YES/NO/NOT GIVEN)

  2. Step 2: Read for an objective

    After you've read the questions for the passage, you will be able to read for an objective. What does this mean? For example, if you come across a question that includes the year "1896", you can make a note of when this year comes up in the text, using it to answer the question later on. There are two reading techniques that will help you stay on track with reading for an objective. The first one, skimming, is best defined as reading fast in order to get the "gist", or general idea, or a passage. With this technique, you are not stopping for any unfamiliar words or looking for specific details. The second technique, scanning, is best defined as reading for specific information. With this technique, you are not reading for the overall gist, but rather, specific information. Notice how each of these techniques has a specific objective in mind. This will help you find information more quickly.

  3. Step 3: Take notes

    As you're reading for an objective, you should also be making notes on the margins of the passage, placing stars next to key information, or underlining things that you believe will help you answer the various questions. This will make it easier for you to check back when you are asked certain things in the questions. Choose whichever note-taking system is right for you - just make sure you do it!

  4. Step 4: Answer wisely

    After you've read the questions, read the passage, and have taken any appropriate notes, you you should have located the part of the text where you where you need to read carefully. Then just read carefully and think critically to determine the correct answer.
