IELTS Reading: Matching Headings

Everyone says 'skim first lines'. That's why your score is stuck.

Don't just look for keywords. Identify the paragraph's *function* or *purpose*.

Is it describing a process, offering a solution, detailing causes, or comparing ideas?

Scan headings for the one that best captures this specific function, not just the general topic. Look for verbs and connectors.

Paragraph: 'New research details methods to conserve water, like drip irrigation and rainwater harvesting.'

Heading: 'Innovative water conservation techniques.' (Not just 'Water problems').

Band 6 matches keywords. Band 8 matches the *rhetorical purpose* of the paragraph, not just its main subject.
