IELTS Academic Reading True, False, Not Given: False ile Not Given nasıl ayırt edilir?

An evidence table with three distinct evidence tabs.

IELTS Academic Reading’de True, False, Not Given soruları: kanıtı bulmak, çelişkiyi eksik bilgiden ayırmak, kelime sınırları ve kısa bir metinle alıştırma.

IELTS Reading’in True, False, Not Given sorularında bir ifadenin metinle ilişkisine karar verirsiniz: metin aynı şeyi söylüyorsa TRUE, ifadeyle çelişiyorsa FALSE, iki yönde de bir şey söylemiyorsa NOT GIVEN. Puan kaybının çoğu son ikisi arasında olur: False için metinde ifadeyi yanlışlayan sözcükler gerekir; Not Given ise bilginin metinde hiç olmaması demektir. Kanıtı bulun, ifadenin her parçasını kontrol edin ve asla genel bilginize göre cevap vermeyin. Bu yazı en az orta üstü (B2) seviyede İngilizce bilen IELTS Academic adayları içindir.

Bu yazı kimin için?

  • Metni anladığı hâlde False ile Not Given arasında puan kaybeden adaylar.
  • Doğru paragrafı ararken çok zaman harcayıp süreyi yetiştiremeyenler.
  • Mantıklı görünene ya da konu hakkında bildiklerine göre cevap verenler.
  • Henüz erken: IELTS’te kesin kanıt bulmak sizin için hâlâ yeniyse aynı alışkanlığı kazandıran Listening’deki iki cevaplı sorularla başlayın (aşağıdaki bağlantılar).
  • Fazla kolay: Bu soru tipi artık sorun değilse yazarın görüşlerini soran Yes, No, Not Given sorularına geçin (aşağıdaki bağlantılar).

Three evidence states

The Westbridge Repair Library began lending tools in 2019. Its founders expected most members to borrow drills and saws, but sewing machines became the most frequently booked items during the first winter. In 2021, the library moved from a basement to a street-level room, which improved wheelchair access.

Members may reserve an item for three days. Volunteers inspect returned tools every evening, and a qualified technician checks electrical items each Friday. Since 2023, damaged equipment has been sent to a partner workshop rather than repaired in the library.

A survey found that members valued practical advice more than low fees. It recorded strong support for weekend opening, but the trustees have not announced whether Sunday hours will be introduced.

Two adults compare archive evidence and a mechanical model.

In 2018, volunteers at the Harbour Archive opened an unlabelled wooden case donated by a retired engineer. Inside they found a compact tide calculator, three notebooks and a receipt dated 1964. The calculator used rotating metal discs to estimate safe departure times for small boats. An inventory from 1972 mentioned a similar device, but its dimensions were larger and its maker was listed as unknown.

Engineer Lila Morgan signed two of the newly found notebooks. Entries show that she tested the compact calculator between March and July 1963, one year before the receipt. A newspaper profile from 1965 praised Morgan's harbour research but did not mention the device. The archive therefore attributes the compact model to Morgan with moderate confidence. It does not claim that she invented every tide calculator or that the 1972 device was hers.

After conservation, the compact calculator went on display in 2020. A digital replica was added in 2022 so visitors could explore the mechanism without touching the original.

Read the process before the blanks

The City Sound Archive receives donated recordings in four stages. First, a coordinator records the donor's name and the number of files. Next, a technician creates a protected copy before opening any original file. The team then checks sound quality and adds a short description. Finally, recordings with clear permission are released to the public catalogue; restricted recordings enter secure storage.

During a 202-file pilot, 140 recordings entered the public catalogue, 30 entered secure storage and 12 were returned because permission was unclear. The remaining 20 recordings were still awaiting review. Each protected copy used the same file name plus a date code.

A neighbourhood roof project tested three surface materials during July. White mineral tiles produced the lowest midday temperature, while untreated metal produced the highest. Recycled rubber panels reduced indoor heat but became softer after repeated rain. The team selected mineral tiles for the community clinic because they stayed cool and required little maintenance. Rubber panels will be tested again on a storage building, where surface softness presents less risk. The report does not recommend untreated metal for either site.

True, False, Not Given soruları nasıl işler?

IELTS Academic Reading’de üç uzun metin, 40 soru ve 60 dakika vardır; kâğıt sınavda cevapları aktarmak için ek süre verilmez.

Talimat şunu sorar: “Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?” İfadeler metindeki sırayı izler ve her birinin üç olası cevabı vardır:

  • TRUE: ifade metindeki bilgiyle uyuşuyor.
  • FALSE: ifade metindeki bilgiyle çelişiyor.
  • NOT GIVEN: metinde bu konuda bilgi yok.

Önce yeri bulun: sabit noktalar ve başka sözlerle anlatım

Başka sözlerle söylenmesi zor kelimeleri arayın: adlar, tarihler, sayılar, terimler. Sonra cümlenin tamamını ve bir sonrakini okuyun; karar verdiren ayrıntı çoğu zaman birkaç kelime ötededir.

Bir arşivi anlatan alıştırma metninde 1963 ve 1964 tarihleri bir hesaplayıcının denenmesine ve bir makbuza götürür. Tarih nereye bakacağınızı gösterir, cevabı vermez. İfadeler metni genellikle başka sözlerle anlatır:

  • “donated” yerine “given”.
  • “attributes the model to her” yerine “identifies her as the probable maker”.
  • “with moderate confidence” yerine “supported but not certain”.

False mı Not Given mı: çelişki mi, sessizlik mi?

İki soruyu sırayla sorun. Metin tam olarak bu nokta hakkında bir şey söylüyor mu? Söylemiyorsa cevap NOT GIVEN. Söylüyorsa, ifadeyle uyuşuyor mu, çelişiyor mu? Uyuşuyorsa TRUE, çelişiyorsa FALSE. Gerçek hayatta doğru olan bir şey bile NOT GIVEN olabilir.

Sayfadaki her kartta örneğin ses kaydı var:

  • TRUE: “Text: access improved after the move. Statement: The move improved access.”
  • FALSE: “Text: sewing machines were booked most. Statement: Drills were booked most.” En çok ayırtılan eşya yalnızca bir tane olabilir.
  • NOT GIVEN: “Text gives a three-day loan but no renewal count.” Uzatmayla ilgili bir iddia kontrol edilemez.

Bir tane deneyin: alet kütüphanesi

Alet ödünç veren bir mahalle kütüphanesini anlatan alıştırma metninden bu bölümü okuyun ve karar verin.

  • “Members may reserve an item for three days. Volunteers inspect returned tools every evening, and a qualified technician checks electrical items each Friday.”
İfade: “Returned electrical tools are checked by a technician every evening.”

Cevabı belirleyen küçük kelimeler

Bir iddianın sınırlarını iddianın kendisi kadar dikkatli okuyun: “expected” “happened” değildir, “may” de “will” değildir. Arşiv metni bir hesaplayıcıyı bir mühendise “with moderate confidence” ile atfediyor ve “does not claim that she invented every tide calculator” diyor. Bu yüzden “The archive is certain who made it.” FALSE; “She invented the first tide calculator.” ise NOT GIVEN.

Alet kütüphanesine dönelim:

  • “Sewing machines were the most frequently booked items in the first winter.” TRUE; kurucular matkap ve testere beklese de.
  • “Members can renew a reservation twice.” NOT GIVEN: üç günlük süre yazıyor, uzatma yazmıyor.
  • “The trustees have confirmed Sunday opening.” FALSE: metne göre yöneticiler “have not announced whether Sunday hours will be introduced”.
Bu üniteyi kendi yolunla öğren

Tamamlama ve kısa cevap sorularında kelime sınırı

Not, tablo ve kısa cevap soruları da çıkar. Cevabı metinden, talimattaki sınıra uyarak alın: “NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS” ya da “A NUMBER” gibi; sınırı aşan ya da yanlış yazılan cevap yanlış sayılır.

Boşluğa gelecek biçimi tahmin edin. “create a protected ___” için metinde “a technician creates a protected copy” var; “copy” yazın. Sınır “NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS” iken “Where will rubber panels be tested again?” sorusunun cevabı “a storage building”: üç kelime, çünkü “a” da sayılır. Türkçede “the” gibi belirli bir tanımlık olmadığı için “a” ve “the” sözcüklerinin de sayıldığı kolayca unutulur.

Puan kaybettiren hatalar

Her yanlış cevaba şu nedenlerden birini yazın:

  • Metin bir şeyden söz etmiyor diye FALSE seçmek.
  • Genel bilgiye ya da kulağa olası gelene göre cevap vermek.
  • Tek bir anahtar kelimeyi eşleştirip kişiyi, zamanı ya da sayıyı gözden kaçırmak.
  • “expected”, “most” ya da “may” gibi sınırlayıcı bir kelimeyi atlamak.
  • TRUE, FALSE, NOT GIVEN sorusuna YES ya da NO yazmak: bu cevap yanlış sayılabilir.

25 dakikalık sınav rutini

Haftada üç dört kez, tek bir deneme metniyle:

  • Metin ve soruları için kendinize 20 dakika verin.
  • Cevaplamadan önce sabit noktanın ve karar verdiren kelimelerin altını çizin.
  • Cevap anahtarıyla kontrol edin: her NOT GIVEN için eksik bilgiyi, her FALSE için çelişen kelimeleri yazın.
  • Kendi TRUE, FALSE ve NOT GIVEN ifadenizi yazın ve her birini sesli açıklayın.
  • Akademik eşdizimleri not edin: “historically significant”, “a detailed record”, “reach a conclusion”, “insight into” gibi.

Sırada ne var?

Sonra bu kanıt testini yazarın görüşlerini soran Yes, No, Not Given sorularına taşıyın. Ardından birebir sözcüklerin aynı ölçüde önemli olduğu özellik eşleştirme ve özet tamamlama sorularına geçin.

Sık sorulan sorular

IELTS Reading’de False ile Not Given arasındaki fark nedir?

FALSE: metin ifadeyle çelişiyor. NOT GIVEN: ifadeyi kontrol etmek için gereken bilgi metinde yok.

True, False, Not Given cevapları metindeki sırayla mı gelir?

Evet. Bir cevaptan sonra bir sonrakini daha ileride arayın.

True, False, Not Given ile Yes, No, Not Given arasındaki fark nedir?

İlki olguları, ikincisi yazarın görüşlerini ya da iddialarını sınar. Talimattaki kelimelerle cevap verin.
