IELTS Reading- Sentence Completion Tips and Strategy
These questions are as much vocabulary tests as they are reading tests because they require you to be aware of paraphrasing (using different...
Review & Explanations:
Questions 1-3
Complete the form below.
Write ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.
Name: Steven Godfrey |
Example Answer No. Of bedrooms: ......four.......... |
Preferred location: in the 1 area of town Maximum monthly rent: £ 2 Length of let required: 3 Starting: September 1st |
- 1 Answer: central
Q1: The key word is location. As we’re expecting, the word appears when estate agent said “What’s about the location?”. We heard that the customer said “It would be nice to be central”. From here we have the answer since Q1 is about preferred location (“it would be nice” can be understood as “preferred”) .
So the answer for Q1 is “central”.
- 2 Answer: 600
Q2: We know that the answer have to be a number.
The sign that leads to the answer is when the estate agent asked “What's your upper limit for the rent?” (upper limit for the rent is equivalent to Maximum monthly rent)
When Customer said “We'd like something around 500 pounds a month but we could go up to 600 pounds if we have to”. The answer can’t be “500” because the question is about maximum, so “600” is what we’re looking for.
The answer for Q2 is “600”
- 3 Answer: 2 year(s)
Q3 The sign of answer for Q3 appears when Estate agent asked “how long you want to rent the house for?”. After that she said “The minimum left is six months as you probably realize”, this may lead to confusion. However, obviously the answer can’t be “six month” because Q3 is about customer’s requirements.
The answer can be heard when customer said “two years” and didn’t want to move during that time which means “two years” is the length of let they required.
So the answer is “two years”
Questions 4-8
Complete the table below.
Write ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.
Address | Rooms | Monthly rent | Problem |
Oakington Avenue | Living/dining room, separate kitchen | £550 | no 4 |
Mead Street | Large living room and kitchen, bathroom and a cloakroom | £580 | The 5 is too large |
Hamilton Road | living room, kitchen-diner, and a 6 | £ 550 | too 7 |
Devon Close | Living room, dinning room, small kitchen | £ 8 | none |
- 4 Answer: garage
Q4: The keywords are “Oakington Avenue”, “550” and “Living/dining room, separate kitchen”.
In the conversation, we hear all these keywords from Estate agent when she said “There's this one in Oakington Avenue at five hundred and fifty pounds a month, combined living room and dining room with a separate kitchen. It doesn't have a garage though you can park in the road”.
The problem here is “It doesn't have a garage”
So “garage” is answer for Q4
- 5 Answer: garden
Q5: The keywords are “Meade Street”, “large living room and kitchen, bathroom, cloakroom” and “580”.
we hear all these keywords from Estate agent. The problem appears when customer said that he didn’t think they could cope with the big garden because of being too busy to look after it.
So the answer is garden
- 6 Answer: study
Q6: The keywords are “Hamilton Road”, “Living room, kitchen diner” and “550”.
We hear all these keywords from Estate agent “Okay, then there's this older house in Hamilton Road. Living room, kitchen diner and it has a study of 550 a month”. Obviously, the answer can be found right here since we hear “it has a study”
So the answer is “study”
- 7 Answer: noisy
Q7: Q7 is still about Hamilton Road.
As the conversation keeps going, when customer asked about “Hamilton Road”, the estate agent described Hamilton Road as “very noisy” and “pretty lively”. Since the Q7 is about problem, the best answer here is “noisy” (“lively” is a positive word)
So the answer is “noisy”
- 8 Answer: 595
Q8: The keywords are “Devon Close” and “living room, dining room and small kitchen”
Estate agent mentioned Devon Close right after Hamilton Road. And we can easily hear the answer for Q8 when she said “And it's 595 a month”.
So the answer for Q8 is “595”
Questions 9-10
Choose TWO letters A-E.
Which TWO facilities in the district of Devon Close are open to the public at the moment?
- A
- B
- C
- D
- E
- 9-10 Answer: B,E
Q9,10: The keywords for Q9,10 are “facilities” and “at the moment”
Sport center is incorrect because it is under construction so it is not open at the moment.
Estate agent said that “the swimming pools already opened ahead of schedule” and it can also means it is now open to public. So swimming pools is correct.
Then the estate agent mentioned about “cinemas” and said that “The only one closed down last year and it's now in the process of being converted into a film museum.” So museum is eliminated from being an answer. This also lead us to the conclusion that “cinema” is not an answer too.
The “concert hall” is mentioned in the conversation when customer said “I heard something about a plan to replace the existing concert hall with a larger one”. "Existing" means it is still existing at the time of the conversation. This could be understood as it is open at the moment.
So the answers for Q9 and 10 are “B” and “E”

Section 1
You will hear an estate agent talking to a customer who wants to rent a house.
First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 8. You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
Estate agent: Good morning. How can I help you?
Customer: Hello, I'm interested in renting a house somewhere in the town.
Estate agent: Right. Could I have your name please?
Customer: Yes, it's Stephen Godfrey.
Estate agent: And tell me how many bedrooms you're looking for?
Customer: Well we'd need four because I'm going to share the house with three friends.
Estate agent: Okay, there are several of that size on our books. They mostly belong to families who are working abroad at the moment. What about the location?
Customer: It would be nice to be central.
Estate agent: That might be difficult as most houses of that size are in the suburbs. Still, there are a few. What's your upper limit for the rent?
Customer: We'd like something around 500 pounds a month but we could go up to 600 pounds if we have to. But we can't go beyond that.
Estate agent: Do you know how long you want to rent the house for? The minimum left is six months as you probably realize.
Customer: We're at college here for two years and we don't want to have to move during that time if we can avoid it.
Estate agent: All right and how soon do you want to move in? All our let start on the first of the month.
Customer: Well as soon as possible really so that means September 1st.
Estate agent: Okay, let me have a look at what we've got. We have photographs of all the houses on our book so you can get an idea of what they're like. There's this one in Oakington Avenue at five hundred and fifty pounds a month, combined living room and dining room with a separate kitchen. It doesn't have a garage though you can park in the road.
Customer: We prefer to have one if possible.
Estate agent: Right. Then, have a look at this house in Meade Street. It's got a very large living room and kitchen, bathroom, cloakroom.
Customer: How much is it?
Estate agent: That one's 580. It's very well furnished and equipped. It also has plenty of space for parking and it's available for a minimum of a year. Oh and there's a big garden.
Customer: I don't think we could cope with that, to be honest. We'll be too busy to look after it.
Estate agent: Okay, then there's this older house in Hamilton Road. Living room, kitchen diner and it has a study of 550 a month.
Customer: That looks rather nice but where about in Hamilton Road?
Estate agent: Towards the western end. Oh, that'll be very noisy. I know the area.
Estate agent: Yes it's pretty lively, but some people like it though. Well, what about this house in Devon Close?
Customer: That looks lovely.
Estate agent: There's a big demand for houses in that area so prices tend to be quite high but this one hasn't been decorated for a few years which has kept the rent down a bit. It's got a living room, dining room and small kitchen. And it's 595 a month. I think it would suit you from what you've said.
Customer: It sounds fine.
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 9 and 10. Now listen and answer questions 9 and 10.
Customer: Why is that part of town so popular?
Estate agent: Well, there's a big scheme to improve the district and it'll soon have the best facilities for miles around.
Customer: What sort of thing?
Estate agent: There's a big Sports Center under construction which will be very impressive when it's finished. In fact, the swimming pools already opened ahead of schedule and it's attracting a lot of people. What’s about cinemas? Are there any in the area?
Estate agent: The only one closed down last year and it's now in the process of being converted into a film museum. The local people are trying to get a new cinema added to the scheme.
Customer: I think I heard something about a plan to replace the existing concert hall with a larger one.
Estate agent: Ah, that's due to start next year. Well, it sounds an interesting area to live in. Could I go and see the house please?
Estate agent: Yes, of course.

In some developed nations, online shopping is replacing physical shopping in stores. I consider it as a positive and a negative development as it comes with various advantages as well as with some disadvantages.
Firstly, online shopping has given people, a convenient facility of shopping using the internet on the e-commerce websites and we can access numerous clothes and its types within a single click which is a tremendous opportunity to purchase things. With the boom of internet and its ease of access to the people over the years has made online shopping even more comfortable to public. People got accustomed to buy things online due to some mind-blowing advantages such as, we don't need any type of travelling to various shops across the streets, we can order things right from our home, and the product will be delivered at our door step with the facility to exchange the product if the customer is not satisfied with the product delivered.
Secondly, online shopping comes with some negative points as well which are to be considered when buying things online. The most significant negative point is that we cannot physically see and try the products before purchasing them, amidst other points like we have dangerous fake e-commerce sites on the web which try to manipulate us in the name of popular online store sites and these sites may pose a threat to our personal data and money.
To conclude, online shopping is defintely is a positive impact on our lives but we should be careful while purchasing products online and people are encouraged to buy things online only on the trusted e-commerce websites.

Hello guys. Please review my essay and I'd love to hear some feedback from your side!
The bar chart gives information about the amount of US dollars earn by people working in language-related sectors in Mexico, Dubai, Paris, Munich and Toronto every year.
Overall, linguistic professionals working in Toronto earn the highest income annually, whereas interpreters, translators and language teachers in Mexico are among the lowest-paid occupations in comparison to other nations.
First of all, it can be clearly seen that interpreter in Toronto, as well as in Munich, Paris and Dubai, is the highest-paid job across the nation. Interpreter in Toronto receive annual income of 80000 US dollars while working as a translator and language teacher are not as lucrative, getting paid by only a total of 65000 US dollars throughout the year. On the contrary, people getting a job in linguistic field in Mexico will be quite hard to sustain their daily expenditure, for their annual earning from whichever occupation barely reach 20000 US dollars, lesser than one third of the average income of linguistic professionals in Dubai.
Remarkably, translators in Paris, Munich and Toronto are being paid the same amount of salary annually, receiving approximately 65000 US dollars for their contributions throughout the year. Moreover, total amount of 60000 US dollars are rewarded to language teachers in Dubai as well as Munich before the beginning of new year.
Hello! I'd like to receive your scores.
Due to a rapid developmant of technology in some states, oflline shopping is replaced with making purchases online. This change is a controversial topic among different people.
On the one hand, shopping online is much more faster and convenient. First of all, simple scrolling of the store's site take less energy and helps a person choose clothes, food and so on with bigger comfort. Fast delivery is also an advantage of this type of buying things. Online shops have wider range of things and some of them cannot be presented offline in the particular city or town. Secondly, sites of shops usually provide various discounts and special offers, which are not accessible in offline stores. Such approaches for customers make them get more satisfaction from spending money.
On the other hand, online shopping also has some disadvantages. It is worth mentioning that some shops which provide online purchases can ask for extra money for delivery, especially if the distance between stock and buyer's house is long. People usually get upset whenpaying more than they expected. Moreover, a great disadvantage of online shopping for me is that I cannot try some clothes and understand whether they fit me or not. I am also limited in touching products or items which I plan to buy, so their quality is going to be a secret for me. It is more connected with groceries because such purchases cannot be returned to a shop even if their appearance and condition are extremely bad.
In conclusion I would like to say that replacement of usual stores with online shopping has both pros and cons. I personnaly think that this process is not negative, because as we live in information era, some technological changes will happen and develop out of the people's control. I believe countries and their population should accept such a change and try to adapt online shopping systems.
