Passage Reference: Regulations for the Use of the Auditorium of Macao Museum of Art To provide suitable management and use of the Auditorium the Macao Museum of Art (the Museum) has established regulations in this document.

Common Mistake: Students often choose TRUE because the document does give information. But the type of information matters. This is a Contradiction trap because the statement changes the meaning from rules to general facts.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'regulations' = Statement: 'general information'

Tips: Always check whether the statement changes the purpose of the document, not just the topic.

Key Vocabulary:

• regulations = rules
• established = set up

Question Focus: Detail check - confusing similar equipment

Correct Answer: FALSE

Passage Reference: Facilities include: sound system, lighting, air-conditioning, microphone/s, screen, videocassette recorder, projector, visualizer, DVD player, CD player and recorder.

Why this is correct: The passage lists a DVD player, not a DVD recorder. A player and a recorder are different devices, so the statement is wrong.

Common Mistake: Students often see the word DVD and assume recorder is included. This is a Paraphrase trap because similar words hide a different meaning.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'DVD player' = Statement: 'DVD recorder'

Tips: In equipment lists, read every noun carefully. Similar technology words are common traps.

Key Vocabulary:

• equipped = has
• recorder = device to record

Question Focus: Synonym match - 'less than four hours is deemed one session'

Correct Answer: TRUE

Passage Reference: One session is classed as four hours, and is charged at $3, 000. Less than four hours is deemed one session.

Why this is correct: Both four hours and less than four hours count as one session, so they cost the same price of $3,000.

Common Mistake: Some students think shorter time should be cheaper, but IELTS only cares about what the passage says. This is a Synonym match question.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'less than four hours is deemed one session' = Statement: 'under 4 hours are the same price'

Tips: Ignore what seems logical in real life and follow the exact rule in the passage.

Key Vocabulary:

• deemed = considered
• session = time period

Question Focus: Time comparison - earlier vs later booking

Correct Answer: TRUE

Passage Reference: If application is made 90 days prior, a $1, 000 deposit will be charged; if less than 30 days, a $1, 500 deposits will be charged.

Why this is correct: When the booking is made later, the deposit goes from $1,000 to $1,500, so it clearly increases.

Common Mistake: Students may miss the comparison between time periods. This is a Time/tense trap if you only read one number.

Paraphrasing: Passage: '$1,500 deposits will be charged' = Statement: 'deposit increases'

Tips: For time-based rules, compare numbers carefully across different conditions.

Key Vocabulary:

• prior = before
• deposit = advance payment

Question Focus: Missing certainty - refund is possible but not guaranteed

Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN

Passage Reference: However, if due to certain unavoidable circumstance, such as a natural disaster, and the applicant cannot use the facilities, it can write to the Museum and state the reason with a request for refund.

Why this is correct: The passage says the applicant can request a refund, but it does not say the Museum will give one. The passage does not discuss whether the refund is guaranteed.

Common Mistake: Students often choose TRUE because natural disaster is mentioned. This is a Not Given trap because the final decision is never stated.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'request for refund' = Statement: 'will give a refund'

Tips: Words like 'will' are strong. Check if the passage truly promises this.

Key Vocabulary:

• request = ask
• unavoidable = cannot be prevented

Question Focus: Logical inference from criteria limits

Correct Answer: TRUE

Passage Reference: Applications from organisations, schools, private organisations (users) except the Museum must fit the following criteria: Promote art and cultural activities International art and cultural exchange activities Academic and educational activities

Why this is correct: Because school applications must fit specific criteria, any school that does not meet them will not be accepted.

Common Mistake: Some students think schools are always accepted. This is a Qualification trap because acceptance depends on conditions.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'must fit the following criteria' = Statement: 'not all applications will be accepted'

Tips: When you see 'must', think about limits and exclusions.

Key Vocabulary:

• criteria = requirements
• promote = support

Question Focus: Missing day information

Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN

Passage Reference: The time for the use of the Auditorium is from Tuesday to Sunday; 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Why this is correct: The passage gives opening times from Tuesday to Sunday only. It does not say anything about Mondays, so we cannot know the closing time.

Common Mistake: Students assume Monday follows the same schedule. This is a Not Given trap because the passage is silent about Monday.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'Tuesday to Sunday' = Statement: 'on Mondays'

Tips: If a day or time is not mentioned, do not guess.

Key Vocabulary:

• auditorium = large hall
• use = opening time

General Tips:

• TFNG statements follow passage order - use the previous answer's location to find the next one.
• For FALSE, always find a clear contradiction in words or meaning.
• For NOT GIVEN, identify the exact extra detail the statement adds that the passage never mentions.
• Be careful with strong words like 'will', 'always', and specific days or numbers.
• Do not use real world logic. Only trust what is written in the passage.
