閱讀技巧
快速閱讀最關鍵的是在掃描全文的時候把握每段的主旨，並做出標記，在看完全文後對文章的結構主題有大致的了解。
此外，雅思閱讀和聽力部分有類似之處。做題時，必須去找準確的信息。因此讀者在開始閱讀之前就得知道問題是什麼。其實並不需要去詳讀一篇文章，需要做的只是surveying、scan-ning和skimming。
Surveying——概讀。概讀一篇文章指的是檢查文章的組織結構以了解文章的大意。
Scanning——尋讀。尋讀是指在文章當中找尋諸如一個特定的詞、縮寫詞、日期、數字或首字母縮略詞等細節。當Scan(掃描)一篇文章的時候，也是很快地看，但它和瀏覽不同。掃描是為了尋找某些特定的詞句而不是文章的整體;關注的是細節而非主旨。閱讀一篇文章時，可能僅僅只為了找一個百分數或者某個特定事件的發生時間，而不是這篇文章的主旨。尋讀可以幫助讀者更有效地找到這些信息。
Skimming——掃讀。掃讀指迅速瀏覽一遍文章，而無需逐字閱讀，以了解文章大意。
在雅思考試中，閱讀和平時讀報時找關鍵的特定信息有類似之處。這樣的閱讀方法其實就是在雅思考試當中所需要的技巧。讀者需要把閱讀重點限定在跟問題有關的細節上，而其他部分只需要去概讀、尋讀和掃讀也就夠了。
