Level B2 (approx. band 5.5-6.5) · Academic and General Training A diagram appears: a machine, a building or a natural process, with some labels missing. Many learners panic at the technical words, read the whole passage again, and then write labels in their own words. Short-answer questions cause a similar problem: learners write a full sentence when the question wants two words. In this episode: • Reading technical description • Locating the parts • Exact word copying • Short-answer questions • Reading lab • Language bridge • Practice • Self-check questions with answers Key points: • Position and movement words are your map of the diagram. • Use the given labels as anchors; the missing label sits beside them. • Copy the passage's words, in the passage's form, inside the limit. • Let the question word predict the answer, and write only the words you need.
