READING PASSAGE 2
Migratory beekeeping
Questions 13-19
Suggested approach
• Read the task rubric carefully. You have to
complete the flow chart of the movements of a
migratory beekeeper.
• Read through the flow chart to familiarise
yourself with it.
• Scan the text and note the section that
discusses the beekeepers’ movements. In this
case, the information is scattered throughout
the text, so it is important to have a good idea
of what you are looking for.
• Go back to the first box in the flow chart. Note
that this box focuses on the start of migration.
• Re-skim the text until you come to this
information. It is cued in the fourth paragraph:
“By early March …”
• The flow chart will express the movements
differently from the text. This is called
“paraphrasing”. The fourth paragraph is all
about the beekeepers’ preparations. So the
answer to item 13 is “prepare”.
• Go on to item 14. Remember that you will not
use all the words in the box, and although
some of the words in the box may seem to fit
in the gaps, they have an incorrect meaning.
Your summary must be an accurate reflection
of what is stated in the passage.
