📚 How to Use ChatGPT for IELTS Reading Prep

Preparing for the IELTS Reading section? ChatGPT can be a powerful tool to boost your skills — if you know how to use it right.

🧠 1. Practice Skimming & Scanning

Ask ChatGPT to generate a short academic-style passage. Then, challenge yourself:

• Skim for the main idea
• Scan for specific answers to questions you create — or let ChatGPT create them for you!

❓ 2. Build Question Types

ChatGPT can help you practice common IELTS question types:

• True/False/Not Given
• Matching headings
• Multiple choice
• Sentence completion

Just say:

“Give me a passage with 5 True/False/Not Given questions.”

🗣️ 3. Learn New Vocabulary in Context

After reading, ask ChatGPT:

“Explain the difficult words in this passage.”
Or:
“Give me 5 academic words from the text and use them in new sentences.”

This strengthens both your reading and vocabulary at once.

⏱️ 4. Simulate Time Pressure

You can set a timer and try to answer questions ChatGPT gives you — just like in the real test. Then ask:

“What are the correct answers and why?”

🚀 Final Tip

Use ChatGPT daily for short, focused sessions. The more you engage with texts and questions, the faster and sharper you’ll get — and that means a better band score.
