PET Reading Part 1 - Notices - Identify Purpose
Let’s explore a PET Reading Part 1 question together! In this interactive exercise, we’ll analyze a notice about building access and answer corresponding questions to identify its purpose. This practice will help improve your reading comprehension skills and prepare you for the PET exam.
You need to read the notice and then choose A, B, or C. To do this, let's ask some targeted questions. First, why was the notice written? Ask yourself, was this notice written to:
Great! The notice was written to provide information about an upcoming event.
Now we can ask about the information in the notice. Is the information about:
Exactly! The notice is about a future event that will happen on November 15th.
Next, let’s identify the main detail in the notice. Is it about:
Correct! The main detail in the notice is about access to the building.
in summary: the notice provides information about future access to a building
now select the option below that answers the question "does this option provide information about future access to a building?"
This statement provides information about the future but nothing about access. Also, it is not true that the building will soon be closed for repairs and that is not why the notice was written.
This statement provides information about future access. Yes, yes, and yes. All boxes ticked! This is the correct answer. All three elements of the notice are included here. The purpose of the notice is to give customers clear information about how to enter the building while repairs are being made to the front entrance after November 15.
This statement provides information but says nothing about the future and nothing about access. Clearly this is the incorrect answer.
By focusing on the purpose of the notice through targeted questions, you will strengthen your reading comprehension skills and confidently select the correct answer. With practice, identifying the purpose of notices, spotting key details, and eliminating incorrect options will become second nature. Remember, each effort brings you closer to mastering PET Reading tasks—you're making great progress! Stay motivated and trust that consistent practice leads to success!
