First and foremost, carefully read the instructions for each T-F-NG question. Pay attention to any specific guidelines, such as whether the statements must be supported by evidence in the passage or if they should reflect the writer's opinion.

Next, proceed to read the passage thoroughly, keeping in mind the statements provided in the question. Pay close attention to the relevant sections that may contain information relating to the statements. Look for keywords or phrases that directly address or contradict the statements.

When evaluating each statement, consider whether there is clear evidence in the passage that supports its truthfulness. If you find explicit information that confirms the statement, mark it as "True." Conversely, if you encounter evidence that directly contradicts the statement, mark it as "False." Be cautious not to base your decision on assumptions or personal opinions. Stick to the information presented in the passage.

There may be instances where the information regarding a statement is not explicitly stated in the passage. In such cases, mark the statement as "Not Given." Remember, "Not Given" means there is insufficient information to confirm or deny the statement's truthfulness.

It's crucial to be aware of any qualifying words or phrases in the statements, such as "all," "only," "always," or "never." Pay close attention to these qualifiers, as they can significantly affect the accuracy of the statement.

Time management is key when answering T-F-NG questions. Allocate a specific amount of time for each question and avoid spending too much time on a single statement. If you're unsure about a statement, make an educated guess and move on. You can revisit it later if time allows.

How do you improve your IELTS band score. In this podcast I’m going to give you 1 simple strategy to help you get the band score you need.

The technique I’m going to teach you is paraphrase. Yes, paraphrasing is very important, and it’s something that IELTS examiners listen out for. In the IELTS band descriptors you will see that you can not get a band score 6 or 7 unless you can paraphrase effectively.

Let me give you an example.

Let’s say in part 1 the examiner asks you about your hometown and asks you this question: Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?

You should answer the question by choosing a synonym for foreigners, for example, tourists.

You could also choose a synonym  for destination, for example visit.

So, when the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer like this:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown. 

So, you’ve answered the question using paraphrase.

Instead of foreigners you said tourists and instead of destination, you said visit.

Let me teach you again. If the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown.
