Book Description

CONQUER COMPREHENSION WORKBOOK 4 is designed for students to practise and work on answering the different types of comprehension questions found in the multiple-choice and open-ended formats. The passages are carefully graded into three levels: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced. The main objective of the Basic level is to lay the foundation to build up a student’s confidence in tackling comprehension. In the Intermediate level, the passages encourage higher-level thinking and understanding. The Advanced level challenges a student to think beyond the ideas presented in the passages. The wide variety of themes and genres also serve to widen a student’s exposure to the different text types which are currently taught in schools. The different questioning techniques aim to develop a student’s comprehension and inference skills. Thinking questions are incorporated to allow a student to exercise his opinions and make his conclusions. A glossary is included after every exercise to help students comprehend the passage better. It also increases a student’s vocabulary and will aid in other writing, reading and comprehension exercises. These varied and useful exercises should give a student greater confidence when doing comprehension tests.
