Overview
In the reading Table completion task, you are given a table with some missing details. The table may include categories such as time, steps in a process, or comparisons.
Your job is to fill in the blanks using words directly from the reading passage.
It is important to follow the instructions carefully, especially the word limit (e.g., No more than two words and/or a number).
You should first study the table to understand its layout and identify the kind of information each gap requires. Then, scan the passage to find the section that relates to the table’s topic.
Once the relevant information is located, you must select the exact word or phrase from the passage that fits the gap both logically and grammatically.
✅Key Characteristics :
- The table is arranged in rows and columns, often grouping information by category (for example, dates, steps, or features).
- Certain cells are empty and must be completed with words from the passage.
- You must follow the given limit exactly (e.g., “No more than two words and/or a number”).
- You must copy the words from the reading text. Do not change them.
- Use skimming to find the right part of the text, and scanning to find the exact words for the answer.
⭐️ Important Tips:
- The wording in the table is often paraphrased, you must match ideas, not just vocabulary.
- Avoid incorrect answers that may look similar but do not match the meaning or format required.
- The table paraphrases the text, so match ideas, not just words.
- Don’t change the form of the word. Spelling and grammar must be correct.
- Make sure your answer fits naturally in the table’s structure. Read it again with your answer inserted.
- Don’t spend too long on one blank. Move on and come back if needed.
