What do TRUE, FALSE and NOT GIVEN mean?
✨The most important thing to remember is what the words ‘true’, ‘false’ and ‘not given’ actually mean and therefore what IELTS wants you to write.
✨If the text agrees with or confirms the information in the statement, the answer is TRUE.
✨If the text contradicts or is the opposite to the information in the statement, the answer is FALSE.
✨If there is no information or it is impossible to know, the answer is NOT GIVEN.
✨True means that the meaning is the same. It is just similar then it is FALSE. Remember that we are dealing with factual information so there is no room to say it is similar or nearly the same.
💯Very important- Just because an answer is NOT GIVEN does not mean there are no words in the statements that match words in the text. This is something that confuses people, if words match then it must be TRUE or FALSE, right? Not really. This is not a good way to think about these questions because there probably will be matching words for NOT GIVEN answers, they just don’t have enough information to answer the question as a whole.
