Ielts General American countries 10th November

[Jackey91]

Here’s what i wrote for the map:
D - the building at the corner of the two roads
C - the first building when you bend right on one road
H - the second building down the main road
F - the place far side of the lake

Any takers?

I wrote D, C, G, F

 

[Jackey91]

It is probably penny-farthing, the bike with one big wheel and one small. It was paraphrased as ‘it looks like british coins’

Yes para C

 

[Jackey91]

I wrote para C for bike which got its name from a look and also the bike which was unstable because at the end talked about the issue with the gravity due to one big size and one small size tire.

 

[Jackey91]

I wrote B for the first US bike that started mass production because they mentioned someone started making 400 from his garage.

That is correct

This is not correct. 400 is a small number. There was a mention of bicycles being manufacted in large numbers as more people started buying somewhere in third last paragraph (para E I think).

In the para right before/after that there was a mention of how it was too costly for the average worker to buy. That would be another answer to a question about affordability.

Bike name Cxxx- popular toy - question paraphrased as nothing more than a fun item

Bike name Dxx - trendsetting people used them - question paraphrased as a popular item for fashionable people

Bike name Vxx - i think this was unstable mentioned in the last couple of lines as para C

Bike name Macmillan - put foot paddles - question paraphrased as changed the way bicycles were run

Yes, in paragraph D there was a sentence like "mass production of bicycles was initiated".
This paragraph also described the forming of modern bike structure. So I picked paragraph D twice.

I answered same - hope they are correct...

Modern bike structure was probably the para where they mentioned about different alloys used for creating the bike?

 

[kaukul]

they say reading is the easiest module amongst all of them and have a different banding structure for it... but it seemed to be the hardest section in this test... so unfair...

 

[bokoblin]

No, toward the end of paragraph D, it was said that modern structure was almost there, except inflatable tyre, and that was invented in 18xx (also mentioned in paragraph D).

Par B was about the first operational bike with 400 bikes on order
