IELTS Reading: matching information

IELTS ንባብ፦ መረጃን ከአንቀጽ ጋር ማዛመድ

Name: ________________________Date: ______________

How it works

In this task the paragraphs are labelled A, B, C and so on. Each question describes a piece of information, and you write the letter of the paragraph that contains it.

በዚህ ተግባር አንቀጾቹ A፣ B፣ C እያሉ ተሰይመዋል። እያንዳንዱ ጥያቄ አንድ መረጃን ይገልጻል፤ እርስዎም ያንን መረጃ የያዘውን አንቀጽ ፊደል ይጽፋሉ።

The questions are NOT in the same order as the passage, and some paragraphs may be used twice or not at all.

ጥያቄዎቹ በምንባቡ ቅደም ተከተል አይመጡም፤ አንዳንድ አንቀጾችም ሁለት ጊዜ ሊመረጡ ወይም ጭራሽ ላይመረጡ ይችላሉ።

Notice the type of information each question asks for: a reason, an example, a description of a process, a comparison. Then look for that kind of sentence, not the same words.

እያንዳንዱ ጥያቄ የሚጠይቀውን የመረጃ ዓይነት ያስተውሉ፦ ምክንያት፣ ምሳሌ፣ የሂደት መግለጫ፣ ንጽጽር። ከዚያ ተመሳሳይ ቃላትን ሳይሆን እንዲህ ዓይነቱን ዓረፍተ ነገር ይፈልጉ።

Do this task last: it is easier after you have read the passage for the other questions.

ይህን ተግባር በመጨረሻ ይሥሩት፤ ለሌሎቹ ጥያቄዎች ምንባቡን ካነበቡ በኋላ ይቀላል።

The text

Teff is one of the smallest grains in the world. A single seed is about the size of a full stop on this page, yet it has fed people in the Ethiopian highlands for thousands of years. Farmers value teff because it can grow in difficult conditions. It survives both heavy rain and short dry periods better than many other cereals, which makes it a lower-risk crop for a family farm. Most teff is turned into injera. The flour is mixed with water and left for two or three days, so that it ferments and develops its slightly sour taste. The batter is then poured onto a large round clay plate called a mitad and cooked on one side only. In recent years, teff has become fashionable in other countries. It contains no gluten, so people who cannot eat wheat have started to buy it, and it now appears in some supermarkets abroad. This new demand brings both opportunities and worries. Some farmers hope to earn more, but many families fear that higher prices could make their daily food harder to afford.
