Two paper bridges do not establish a rule for every bridge
-
A comparison can support a limited design claim without proving it for every material. Keep measured results and broader interpretations separate.
-
A short academic text of the kind you might read at university, with questions about its meaning. It is written for a general reader, not a specialist. You are never expected to know the subject.
-
The information needed to answer is in the passage. For an inference, show which words make your conclusion reasonable.
Outside knowledge may be brilliant; it still needs a ticket from the passage.
Skim, then scan
- Skim briefly: what is this about, how many parts are there, and where does the argument turn? Then scan to locate relevant details and re-read the connected sentences needed for the question. An inference may need evidence from more than one part.
- A paragraph's opening can signal its main point. Check the rest, especially if a contrast word changes direction.

Words in context, and word parts
- A vocabulary question asks what a word means in this passage, not in general. Use word parts as clues: prefixes such as un- or re- and suffixes such as -tion or -able can narrow the possibilities. The sentence still decides the meaning.
- The passage will say the same thing in different words on purpose. A synonym is the normal case, not a trick.

Inference is still evidence
- An inference question asks what the passage lets you conclude, not what it states. The best answer is supported by the passage, sometimes by several connected sentences. Other options may contradict it or go beyond its evidence.
- Test each option with: which evidence makes this the best supported conclusion? Do not import an explanation the passage does not give.

An inference can connect several clues. Prefer the option the passage supports, and reject a contradiction or an extension beyond its evidence.
How to practise
- Read one academic page a day without a dictionary, then look up only the words that blocked you.
- Practise taking meaning directly from the English sentence. Translating every sentence adds an extra step and leaves less time for checking evidence. Task description and approximate section timing checked on 23 September 2026: ETS Reading section, ETS test content.

翻訳は正確性を保証せず、関連する証拠を確認するために必要な時間を消費することがあります。学習者は非計時確認中に翻訳を利用できますが、計時練習では直接的な理解と証拠の確認を養うべきです。
A supported inference stays within the experiment
- Original mini-passage: “Students tested two paper bridges made from the same paper with the same span. One had folded sides and held more coins; the other had flat sides.” The result supports comparing those two designs under those conditions.
- It does not establish that folded sides always help every material or that a real bridge would hold a particular load. The words identify the test’s scope; outside knowledge cannot fill its limits.
- An inference can combine clues from several sentences. It need not repeat one line or be a logically unavoidable conclusion; it must be the best supported option.
- Distinguish the observed result, the design comparison and the claim the text does not establish.
- Try the transfer checks below before returning to the explanation. These are original self-checks, with no official score conversion.
- Apply these distinctions to complete academic passages, with guided reading, fresh independent sets and a private evidence repair.
