    Hi Liz,

    The answers have to be exactly same as per the words mentioned in the passage or can be changed as per the grammar.
    As in the answers you have mentioned phase out whereas actual word in the passage was “phased out”.
    I understand the same passage will not come, but just want to understand : if we need to use exact words as in the passage. Pls reply

    • This is not an IELTS reading passage. This is a skills lesson only. The instructions in IELTS will always tell you what to do clearly.

  9. Esu ude says

    Nice exercise, got 7/8 and failed the ultimately. Thanks for the lesson

  10. Thanks Liz
    This was brain cracking for me. I got 7/8. I was thinking on the ultimately…., but could not.
    Thanks.

    • People think paraphrasing has to be exact. It doesn’t. It just has a similar meaning – that’s all. And it is important that context is taken into account.

  11. Hi Liz,
    For the second answer of this passage I wrote “phased out” but the answer you have given is “phase out”. My doubt is, “Will I loose the mark if I wrote “phased out” instead of “phase out” in the exam?”

    Thanks

    • As explained on the page, these is a practice lessons for skills – these questions do not appear in the test. This lesson is to help you with paraphrasing and synonyms.

  12. Olufemi says

    Thanks for this blog. It’s making IELTS simple to me now. I hope the exams would be similar to all these lessons? Thank you once more.

    • Glad my lessons are helping. But you still need to do real tests at home. Get the IELTS Cambridge test books which are real tests published by IELTS.

  19. Inderjeet S Sublok says

    Hi Liz,
    Can we just write “feathered friend”, instead of “yellow feathered friend”
    Also if i write “phased out”, instead of “phase out”, will it make my answer incorrect?

    Regards
    Inderjeet
