IELTS Reading 7 - Passage 3

MATCHING HEADINGS

The heading you want will probably not use the same words as those which appear in the paragraph, but will paraphrase the ideas.

Be careful: sometimes the first sentence of a paragraph seems to fit entirely with one particular heading. However, don't be caught out - you still need to check by reading the whole paragraph.

Write your answers in boxes 28-32 on your answer sheet.
