Summary Completion

In summary completion question types, you will be given a summary of information from the text and there will be some gaps in that summary. You will either be given a list of words to fill the gaps with or asked to find the answers in the reading text. Your job is to insert some of the words from the list into the gaps, or if asked , to fill the gaps with words from the text.

There will be more words in the list than required to fill gaps. All the information contained in the summary will also be contained in the reading text, but they will use synonyms and paraphrasing, so don’t expect to see the same words. Summary completion questions test your ability to understand the general meaning of the summary, to scan for the correct information in the text, to be able to identify synonyms and paraphrases.
