Section 1 of the General Training Reading test presents short, factual texts that you might encounter in everyday English-speaking life. These include notices, advertisements, timetables, leaflets, and instruction manuals. While the texts themselves are straightforward, the questions are designed to test precision — and many candidates lose marks here through carelessness.
Section 1 typically contains two or three short texts with a combined total of approximately 13–14 questions. The texts are practical and functional.
| Text Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Notices and signs | Library rules, parking restrictions, building regulations, safety warnings |
| Advertisements | Job ads, product ads, service ads, property listings |
| Timetables and schedules | Bus/train timetables, cinema schedules, class timetables, event programmes |
| Leaflets and brochures | Tourist information, health advice, community events, membership details |
| Instruction manuals | Product setup guides, warranty information, return policies |
| Menus and price lists | Restaurant menus, subscription plans, membership fees |
