Introduction:
There are many English-speaking nations in the world but even then, India is the country with the highest number of English speakers. We don’t just learn English as a language but since our childhood, it is drilled in our minds that we must speak in English. And only then you will get a job or even respect in society. The way we have been pressured into learning English; this sort of pressurisation doesn’t happen in any other country. But now, when I think in retrospect, our parents and school teachers were not wrong either. Today, if you need a good, stable job, you must be a fluent English speaker. Otherwise, some other less talented person whose only skill is English might get the job instead of you.
Many students in India wish to continue their studies abroad in English-speaking nations. There might be multiple reasons for that such as better curriculums in colleges/universities, better opportunities and better job openings. To follow their dream and reach a Western English-speaking nation, they are supposed to pass an exam called IELTS. This exam tests the students’ English skills in all its aspects i.e., reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Today, we are here to focus on just one part of this test which is the Reading part. We will give you some tips to follow and clear the Reading round of the IELTS exam.
