IELTS Reading, Part 1

Read the text and answer questions 1 to 13.

The town library

When the town library opened in 1890, it held 400 books and was open on two evenings a week. Most of its first readers were factory workers who had left school early.

Within ten years the collection had grown to over 3,000 books. A reading room for children was added in 1899, and the library began to open every day.

Questions 1 to 3

Do these statements agree with the passage? Choose True, False or Not Given.

How it is scored

Each correct answer gets 1 mark, and your score out of 40 becomes a band. General Training has its own table, which needs more correct answers than Academic for the same band. You see your band and every answer when you submit.

How to get more answers right

  1. Save time for Section 3

    The last text is the longest and the hardest. Don't spend too long on the short texts.

  2. Look for names and numbers

    Section 1 often asks about times, prices and places. Find them in the text first.

  3. Know False from Not Given

    False means the text says the opposite. Not Given means the text doesn't say either way.

  4. Answer every question

    A blank can't get a mark. If you're not sure, choose your best answer.
