There’s a lot of truth to the old ______, “Beauty is only skin deep.”  When they are in their prime, physically beautiful people often have no trouble attracting opportunities.  They are often the envy of their peers, who perceive that they live _____ lives and don’t have to deal with the problems that more ordinary-looking people do.  But the cruel fact of the matter is that a person’s appearance is always changing, and usually not for the better.  For that reason and several others, I think a person’s _______ is ultimately much more important than their appearance.  However, that doesn’t mean that maintaining one’s appearance is not important.     

Being good looking and taking pride in one’s appearance can be very worthwhile.  I don’t think it’s ever a bad thing for a person to pay attention to their ______ and dress, particularly when their aim is to impress someone.  There’s no doubt that being attractive and _______ will help a person get noticed and make it more likely that they will be given that chance to impress.  Many people are turned off by those who are dirty and ______, or obviously don’t take any pride in their appearance.

• НЕ нужно тратить время на чтение инструкции, и следует помнить о том, что есть один лишний заголовок.

• Помни, что утверждения не обязательно соответствуют абзацам, но идут в порядке прочтения информации. Абзацы могут быть разные, но на последний вопрос не нужно искать ответ в начале, а нужно перечитать конец.

• Нужно прочесть каждый абзац, обратив особое внимание на начало и конец, первое и последнее предложение: в них, как правило, заключается основная идея, но не всегда. 

• Примени технику поискового чтения – scanning, что означает беглое чтение с целью поиска конкретной информации.

• Необходимо выделять ключевые слова.

• Нужно не домысливать, а основываться только на тех сведениях, которые есть в тексте, – это очень важно. Найдя информацию, нужно определить наличие или отсутствие ключевых слов, на которых строится ответ, – True / False / Not Stated.
• Для решения проблемы варианта Not Stated нужно перепроверить по тексту наличие точной информации по заданному вопросу. Также можно также идти от противного: убедиться, что ни ответ «да», ни ответ «нет» не соответствуют тексту, следовательно, правильным будет ответ Not Stated.
