This is an Academic Reading Part 1 (so it's good for GT too). The structure is chronological (in order of time) which helps you locate the answers more easily. It's also very similar to a text on my website: The Story Of Silk, which you can find here: https://ieltsetc.com/2018/12/ielts-reading-story-silk/ and I refer to last week's podcast about The Eucalyptus Tree to show you how similar they are in terms of the gapfill answers. https://anchor.fm/ieltsetc/episodes/IELTS-Listening-The-Eucalyptus-Tree-in-Australia-ehm3hd/a-a2s5his Check out my blog relating to the grammar in this reading here: https://ieltsetc.com/2020/09/how-to-use-the-former-the-latter/
