1) In this part, there's an emphasis on locating specific information, detail and opinion or attitude in a text or group of short texts.
2) Avoid seeing this part as an exercise that merely requires you to match information. The task is designed to test understanding of the development of ideas, opinion and events rather than the recognition of individual words.
3) Skimming and scanning skills are very important for this task, as it requires re-finding information quickly and accurately. Help yourself by underlining and labelling information to the best of your abilities.
