IELTS General Training Reading practice test 9
A full IELTS General Training Reading practice test with 40 questions in three sections, timed at 60 minutes like the real test. Section 1 has a leisure centre pool timetable and a set of weekend course adverts. Section 2 has a job advert for a garden centre and a staff guide to booking annual leave. Section 3 is a longer article about community orchards in British towns. Question types are True/False/Not Given, matching information, multiple choice and sentence, note and summary completion. It is a gentler General Training test to start with. Write answers to completion questions using words taken from the text, and keep to the word limit.
Exam mode: timed, answers at the end, like the real test. Practice mode: untimed, the answer and explanation after each question.
