Many teachers recommend their students to underline the more important ideas and key concepts in a reading passage in order to understand the passage and find answers to the questions which follow the passage. So how does underlining really helps? Underlining important points in a passage helps to:
- pin point key points
- quickly skim through the text to find answers
- Most questions ask for main ideas and if you have underlined them it is easier to get back to them in the provided passage.
- Finally, underlining key concepts helps us comprehend the topic being discussed.

ReplyDeleteUnderlining key information while reading can make a huge difference, especially in the IELTS Reading section, where time is limited. It’s easy to get lost in long passages, but by marking essential details like names, dates, and keywords, you can quickly locate answers without rereading everything. Another great advantage of underlining is that it helps with matching headings, true/false questions, and sentence completion. When you train your brain to spot important details, it becomes second nature during the actual exam. Plus, if you’re underlining correctly, you’ll reduce careless mistakes and improve accuracy. For those struggling with IELTS preparation, I’d recommend practicing this technique with past papers and timing yourself. The more you practice, the more efficient you’ll become
