IELTS Reading: True / False / Not Given

IELTS ንባብ፦ እውነት / ሐሰት / አልተገለጸም

Name: ________________________Date: ______________

How it works

What the three answers mean

TRUE: the passage says the same thing, usually in different words.

TRUE (እውነት)፦ ምንባቡ ተመሳሳዩን ነገር ይላል፤ ብዙ ጊዜ በተለያዩ ቃላት።

FALSE: the passage says the opposite.

FALSE (ሐሰት)፦ ምንባቡ ተቃራኒውን ይላል።

NOT GIVEN: the passage does not tell you. You cannot know if it is true or false.

NOT GIVEN (አልተገለጸም)፦ ምንባቡ አይነግርዎትም። እውነት ይሁን ሐሰት ማወቅ አይችሉም።

Use only the passage, never your own knowledge. A statement can be true in real life and still be NOT GIVEN.

ምንባቡን ብቻ ይጠቀሙ፤ የራስዎን ዕውቀት በፍጹም አይጠቀሙ። አንድ ዓረፍተ ነገር በእውነተኛው ሕይወት እውነት ሆኖ በምንባቡ ግን NOT GIVEN ሊሆን ይችላል።

Watch small words that change the meaning: all, some, always, only, never, most.

ትርጉምን የሚቀይሩ ትንንሽ ቃላትን ይከታተሉ፦ all (ሁሉም)፣ some (አንዳንድ)፣ always (ሁልጊዜ)፣ only (ብቻ)፣ never (በፍጹም)፣ most (አብዛኛው)።

The answers come in the same order as the passage.

መልሶቹ በምንባቡ ቅደም ተከተል መሠረት ይመጣሉ።

The text

In many growing cities, there is little free land left for farming. As a result, some residents have started to grow vegetables on the flat roofs of their buildings. The idea is not new, but it has become far more popular in the past twenty years. Supporters say that rooftop gardens keep buildings cooler in hot weather, because the plants and soil absorb heat. They also point out that fresh food grown on the roof does not need to be transported long distances. However, not every roof is suitable. Wet soil is very heavy, so an engineer should always check that the building is strong enough before a garden is built. Water is another challenge, since roof gardens dry out more quickly than gardens on the ground. For this reason, many gardeners collect rainwater in tanks during the rainy season. Most rooftop gardeners grow food for their own families, although a few sell their vegetables to local restaurants.
