IELTS Reading Yes, No, Not Given: Writer’s Views

This task asks whether statements agree with the writer’s views or claims. YES agrees, NO contradicts, and NOT GIVEN means the writer’s position cannot be established.

Yes No Not Given-এ লেখকের মতামত বা দাবি যাচাই করতে হয়। শুধু কোনো তথ্য পাওয়া গেলেই Yes হবে না।

Step-by-step strategy

  1. Locate the writer’s actual view, not just a fact about the topic.
  2. Compare the whole claim, including words like all, best, never, or some.
  3. Choose NO only for an opposing view; absence of a clear view is NOT GIVEN.
  4. Avoid deciding based on your personal opinion.

Original worked example

Writer: 'Remote classes can benefit some learners, although classroom teaching remains essential for many others.' Statement: 'The writer believes online learning is suitable for every student.'

Reveal answer and explanation

NO. The writer limits the benefit to some learners and explicitly highlights the value of classroom teaching.

Common mistakes

Do not guess from a matching keyword alone. Read or listen for meaning, obey task instructions and check the context before finalizing the answer. A strategy is not a score guarantee.
