Day 2 — Reading — Cambridge Perspective
Phase I • Week 1 • ⏰ ~50 minutes
Բարև բոլորին։ Շնորհակալություն երեկվա առաջին օրվա մասնակցության համար։ Այսօր շարունակում ենք Section 1-ով, բայց ուսումնասիրում ենք, թե ինչպես են Cambridge-ի քննիչները մտածում C1 ընթերցանության մասին։
Today we learn the Cambridge approach to C1 reading. Their strategies are exactly what you need for Section 1 of the certification test.
⏰ Daily Warm-Up — Mini Reading + Inference
Yesterday we practiced main idea, vocabulary, and detail. Today we add inference — questions where the answer is not directly stated but can be logically concluded from the passage.

- Focus today: distractor analysis — why are wrong options wrong?
- For each wrong answer, write down WHY it is wrong (extreme word, wrong scope, opposite meaning, etc.)
- Aim for ~12 minutes per set
Task 3 — Self-check

💡 Pro Tips
- Distractor patterns. Common wrong-option types: extreme words («always», «never»), too narrow («only X»), opposite meaning, mixing facts from different paragraphs.
- Inference ≠ Imagination. Inference must be supported by the text. If you cannot point to a sentence that backs it up, it is not inference — it is guessing.
- Read the question stem carefully. «Which can be inferred» vs «Which is stated» require different approaches.
- Cambridge strategy. Read questions BEFORE the passage on long texts. Saves time for finding answers.
