Preparing your learners with strategies they can use with specific task types will help them gain confidence and increase their band scores. I’d like to introduce you to a 3-step strategy for matching headings that you can use with your own learners.

Step 1: Read through the headings and underline or highlight keywords. Often synonyms of the keywords are found in the text, not the exact words, so test takers should think about the meaning of the keywords.

Step 2: Identify topic sentences in each paragraph. As with many pieces of writing, the topic sentence can often be found in the first or second sentence, but sometimes in the last. To identify the topic sentence, test takers will need to quickly skim (not read) the paragraph.

Step 3: Match key words in headings to key words in topic sentences. Remember that the exact words may not be used, so encourage your learners to look for synonyms.

While matching headings tasks look intimidating, it is important that test takers do not waste time reading the text carefully from beginning to end. Instead, they should use the above 3-step strategy to quickly match the headings to the appropriate section. Also, remind your learners it is ok to guess when they are not sure of an answer since test takers are not penalized for wrong answers.

Trust is a scarce commodity these days. Many businesses have to suffer to get the allegiance of clients. Most people on earth are products of their pasts and so they behave according to the lessons they have learned there. Because trust is scarce, the world is full of the make-shift defence system to ensure fingers aren’t beaten over and over.

Love becomes a difficult word in the mouths of many. The more you care for people, the more you are suspected. Sometimes, people distrust you more when you say you are a God-person. They want to see you prove it over and over.

Hearts shattered and broken. Trust is stolen, and many have been left destitute or hopeless. The pain is deeper when the betrayer comes from people we love.

Therefore, loving becomes difficult, connecting exists only in dreams for many. People have died to love and live; their hearts are calloused with guilt and seared with the hot iron of bitterness.
