It is best to make a weekly allocation of your time, making sure that you have enough left for recreational activities or simply to be &#8216;with&#8217; yourself: reading a novel or watching a television programme. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>B<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As part of your weekly schedule, it is also advisable to consider exactly what you have to do in that week, and make sure that you tackle the most significant tasks first, leaving the easier or less urgent areas of your work until later. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>C<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">On a physical level, make sure that you have an area or space for studying. Don&#8217;t do it just anywhere. If you always study in the same place, preferably a room of your own, you will find it easier to adjust mentally to the activity when you enter that area. You should have everything that you might need at hand. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>D<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Make sure that all the physical equipment that you use, such as a desk, chair etc. is at a good height for you. If you use a personal computer, there are plenty of guidelines available from the government on posture, angles, lighting and the like. Consult these and avoid the typical student aches and pains. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>E<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are doing a long essay or research paper which involves the use of library books or other articles, it helps to keep details of the titles and authors on small cards in a card box. It is also a good idea to log these alphabetically so that you can find them easily &#8211; rather like keeping telephone numbers. It&#8217;s all too easy to read something and then forget where it came from. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>F<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Make use of equipment that is available to you. If you find a useful article in the library, it is best to make a copy of the relevant pages before you leave. Then, when you get back to your study, you can mark the article and make any comments that you have in the margin. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>G<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you are working on a topic your teacher has set, but finding it hard to concentrate, it may be that you actually need to take your mind right off it for a period of time. &#8216;Airing the mind&#8217; can work wonders sometimes. After a period away from the task, having not thought about it at all, you may return to it refreshed and full of ideas. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>H<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Similarly, it may help to discuss a topic with other people, especially if you feel that you have insufficient ideas, or too many disorganised ideas. Bring your topic up in conversations at meal times or with other students and see what they have to say. You don&#8217;t want to copy their ideas but listening to what they think about something may well help you develop or refine your own thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Questions 15-21<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Reading Passage &#8220;<strong><em>Self-study Tips<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; has eight paragraphs,\u00a0<strong>A-H<\/strong>. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose the correct heading for paragraphs,\u00a0<strong>B-H<\/strong>, from the list of headings below.. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Write the correct number\u00a0<strong>i-xii<\/strong>, in boxes\u00a0<strong>15-21<\/strong>\u00a0on your answer sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>List of Headings<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><em>Example\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Answer\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><em> Paragraph A\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 iii<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">i\u00a0\u00a0 Consult your teacher <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">ii\u00a0\u00a0 Take a break <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">iii\u00a0\u00a0 Make a timetable <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">iv\u00a0\u00a0 Create a working space <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">v\u00a0\u00a0 Sit comfortably <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">vi\u00a0\u00a0 Study at home <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">vii\u00a0\u00a0 Talk about your work <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">viii\u00a0\u00a0 Photocopy important material <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">ix\u00a0\u00a0 Catalogue references <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">x\u00a0\u00a0 Use the library <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">xi\u00a0\u00a0 Prioritise your work <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">xii\u00a0\u00a0 Exercise regularly<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>15.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Paragraph\u00a0 B\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>16.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Paragraph\u00a0 C\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>17.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Paragraph\u00a0 D\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>18.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Paragraph\u00a0 E\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>19.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Paragraph\u00a0 F\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>20.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Paragraph\u00a0 G\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>21.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Paragraph\u00a0 H\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>STUDY CENTRE COURSES<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>A<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>From Paragraph to Essay<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Of particular relevance to students who wish to improve their organisational skills and who feel that their final product is never clear enough. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thursday 10-12 <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Kiran Singh<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>B<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Communicate by Mail<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Owing to the popularity of last term&#8217;s course, this is a repeat.

They first appeared during the Triassic period, 215 million years ago, and thrived for 150 million years before becoming extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period. Uncontested in the air, pterosaurs colonised all continents and evolved into a vast array of shapes and sizes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Image: The Pterosaur: a flying reptile that lived during the time of the dinosaur<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"282\" height=\"200\" class=\"wp-image-7273\" src=\"https:\/\/ielts.completesuccess.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/ielts-gt-reading-pterosaur.png\" alt=\"IELTS GT Reading - Pterosaur\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>B.<\/strong>\u00a0 Until recently, most scientists would not have put pterosaurs in the same class as birds in terms of flying ability. Because pterosaurs were reptiles, generations of researchers imagined that these creatures must have been cold-blooded, like modern snakes and lizards. This would have made flying awkward, as they would have lacked the endurance to power their muscles for long periods of time. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>C.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0In the past three decades, however, a number of fossil* discoveries have prompted researchers to re-examine their views. The new picture of pterosaurs reveals that they were unlike any modern reptile. From a fossil discovered in Kazakhstan, scientists suspect that pterosaurs had a covering resembling fur. If so, this detail provides evidence of a warm-blooded body that could maintain the kind of effort needed to stay in the air. Indeed, scientists now believe that many pterosaurs were gifted air\u00acborne predators, built to feed while in flight. And, in fact, such controversy has surrounded pterosaurs since the first discovery of one in the early 1700s. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>D.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Cosimo Alessandro Collini, the first natural historian to study the fossil and describe it, was unable to classify it. It was not until 1791 that the great French anatomist Georges Cuvier deduced that the animal was, in fact, a flying reptile, whose fourth finger supported a wing. He named the fossil Pterodactylus, combining the Greek words for wing and finger. A few decades later, the name pterosaur, or winged reptile, was adopted to describe the growing list of similar fossils. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>E.<\/strong>\u00a0 In 1873, a remarkable pterosaur specimen came to light that confirmed Cuvier&#8217;s deduction. Unlike earlier fossils, this new find near the Bavarian town of Solnhofen contained delicate wing impressions, establishing definitely that the extinct reptile was capable of flight. Even though over a thousand pterosaur specimens are known today, such wing impressions remain rare. Normally only bones survive the fossilisation process. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>F.<\/strong>\u00a0 But how pterosaurs learnt to fly remains a matter for disagreement. Most researchers conclude that pterosaurs are descended from a small tree-dwelling reptile that spent its life jumping between branches. This creature would have spread its limbs, and used flaps of skin attached to its limbs and body to help it to land gently on the ground. Over many generations the fourth finger on each of its front &#8216;arms&#8217; would have grown longer, making the skin surface larger and enabling the animal to glide farther. Meanwhile, the competing argument holds that pterosaurs developed from two-legged reptiles that ran along the ground, perhaps spreading their arms for balance. Through gradual growth, the front arms would then have evolved into wings. This difficult issue will only be resolved with the discovery of earlier forms of pterosaurs. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>G.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0&#8216;It&#8217;s very difficult to say how pterosaurs changed over time because the earliest fossils we have are of pterosaurs whose fourth finger has already transformed into a wing,&#8217; says Fabio Dalla Vecchia, an Italian researcher. In fact, the earliest known pterosaurs came from the mountains of northern Italy, where he has spent years searching for flying reptiles. These species have shorter wings than later forms, but there is evidence that they were skilful fliers, capable of catching fish over open water. Proof of this has been found in the fossil of a Eudimorphodon, a 215-million-year-old pterosaur found near Bergamo, Italy. Under a microscope, several fish scales can be seen in the abdomen of the specimen -the remains of the pterosaur&#8217;s last meal. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>H.<\/strong>\u00a0 A different but equally impressive sight is the life-size model of Quetzalcoatlus northropi, which stares down at visitors in the Museum of Flying in Santa Monica, California. It has a beak the size of a man and wings wider than those of many of the planes exhibited nearby. This pterosaur had wings over 11 metres wide, making it the largest flying animal ever known. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>I.<\/strong>\u00a0 Quetzalcoatlus represents the height of pterosaur evolution. &#8216;Unlike smaller pterosaurs, it could use natural currents to stay in the air without having to move its wings continuously,&#8217; said Paul MacCready, an aeronautical engineer. &#8216;As pterosaurs got larger, they discovered the benefits of gliding on air currents, making use of a free energy source. With their hollow bones, these pterosaurs had a very light construction, ideal for such activity.&#8217; <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>J.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0As we walked beneath the Quetzalcoatlus model in Santa Monica, MacCready pointed out its similarity to sailplanes, the most efficient kind of aeroplanes. Both have long slender wings designed to fly with minimum power. During the flight, sailplane pilots routinely search for places where heat rises from the sun-baked earth, creating hot air currents called thermals. Undoubtedly, Quetzalcoatlus would have used thermals as well, lazily circling over the river deltas that once covered parts of Texas. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>K.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0The triumphant reign of pterosaurs ended with this giant flier. At the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago, a meteorite or comet slammed into the Earth. That calamity &#8211; and other events-wiped out roughly three-quarters of all species, including all pterosaurs and dinosaurs. But before their disappearance, pterosaurs enjoyed unequalled success. They flew into sunny skies before any other vertebrate. For 150 million years they sailed the winds on the strength of a fragile finger. What a glorious ride they had.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Questions 28-34<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Reading Passage
