CELPIP READING TASK 2 – COMPLETE GUIDE


CELPIP READING TASK 2 – COMPLETE GUIDE



Reading to Apply a Diagram


This is the task where:


You read a notice / article / information


You also see a diagram / schedule / map / chart / rules


You must match information from text to the diagram



Students usually find this confusing because they try to read everything.


So we need a method.


USE THE K.I.M. METHOD FOR TASK 2


K – Keywords


I – Identify section


M – Match information


This works for most Task 2 questions.


WHAT HAPPENS IN TASK 2?


You usually see:


Library rules


Course schedule


Gym membership plans


Tour schedule


Event timetable


Office layout


Company departments


Workshop schedule


Volunteer schedule


Museum map


University course options



Then questions like:


Which class should Sarah take?


Where should the visitor go first?


Which plan is best for John?


Which department handles refunds?


Which day should he attend?



So you must match person’s situation → correct option.


TASK 2 STEP-BY-STEP STRATEGY


Step 1 – Read the question first


Find:


name


time


day


price


requirement


condition


goal



These are keywords.


Step 2 – Scan the diagram / schedule


Look for:


days


times


prices


rules


locations


requirements

Step 3 – Match keywords with correct option


That is why method is:


KIM METHOD


Keywords → Identify → Match

Yoga: Monday and Wednesday, 6 p.m.


Swimming: Tuesday and Thursday, 7 p.m.

You will see questions like:

4. Which plan is best for the person?



5. Which department should they contact?



6. Which class fits their schedule?
