IELTS Reading: The White Horse of Uffington

IELTS Reading: The White Horse of Uffington

🏮 To celebrate the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Horse, here's an Academic Passage 1 text all about The White Horse of Uffington - an ancient chalk figure cut into a hillside in England.

The text discusses how and when this 'geoglyph' was created, and my podcast walks you through a set of Gapfill Summary and True False Not Given (TFNG) questions.

It includes tips about:

  • ⛳️ red flag clues in TFNG questions, especially comparisons and the use of 'most' (= the vast majority)
  • how to skip information that you don't need
  • how 'known as' and 'called' lead you quickly to the answer

At the end, we review vocabulary related to ancient customs and traditional celebrations that you can use in the Speaking Test.
