I hope that you find this book useful in helping you to develop your skills as a reader and to help you to achieve your target score in the IELTS Reading Test. Being able to read in another language is a skill that can open up a world of knowledge, but it can also help you to improve your critical thinking skills, give you useful ideas for your speaking test, and help you to expand your vocabulary for writing.
I would like to thank my wonderful students who have given me feedback and inspiration while writing and teaching. I would also like to show my sincere appreciation for my wife, Hanna, who has assisted with writing this book and helped me along the way, as with so many things in life. Last but not least, I would like to thank my father who tested some of the exercises and explanations and gave valuable feedback in the writing process.
