{{B}}How to approach Reading Test Part Three{{/B}}
·This part of the Reading Test tests your understanding of the language of graphs and charts.
·Read the five sentences about the bar charts.
·Then look at all eight bar charts. Try to describe each one in your own words. (You can do this in your own language at first so that you are clear about what is happening in each bar chart.)
·Match each sentence with a bar chart. Note all the possible answers.
·Go back to the sentences for which more than one answer seems possible. Carefully compare the bar charts and decide which is the correct answer.
·Check that you have not used any letter more than once.
·Look at the bar charts on the opposite page. They show the number of people employed in eight different companies (A-H) in England and Germany between 2000 and 2002.
·Which bar chart does each sentence (11-15) describe?
·For each sentence, mark one letter (A- H).
·Do not use any letter more than once.
