I am trying to develop a guide for my B1 student who is undertaking the IELTS general exam. Here we are focusing on the reading section. Specifically, the matching features question types. Here is what I have written so far:

IELTS Reading Matching Features Question Introduction
In this question type, you are required to match a list of options to a set of statements. Options are presented in a box. These options are usually someone's name or features, which will have been mentioned in the passage. The statements will not be ordered in the same way as the given text. In addition, statements will paraphrase information from the text. Additionally, there will often be more options to choose from in comparison to the questions.

In the IELTS General Reading Test, this question type goes along with the theme of general or work-related readings. The options can range from names mentioned in the passage, features of something included in an employee handbook, or features included in advertisements or listings.

How to Answer Matching Features Questions
The first two steps contain "preparation work", which will be done while reading the headings. The last step is to be done with the reading passage itself.

1. Read the Questions - As always, it is a good idea to look at the questions before reading the passage. This will give you an idea of what to look out for while skimming and scanning the reading. In this particular case, the questions will most likely be statements that describe the features, and you should read them before looking at your options.

An optional part of this step (and something that we will do for practice in this exercise) is to start thinking of potential synonyms and different ways to say what is listed in the questions. Why? Remember: the information presented in the questions may be re-stated in a different way in the passage.

2. Pull Out Key Words - This step can be done at the same time that you are focusing on reading the questions. If you briefly underline key words in the questions, you will be better able to know what you are looking for in the passage.

3. Focus on the Answer Options - Once you've read the questions, take a look at the options that you are able to choose from. If the options are names, remember that the names in the text may appear as first and last names. If the options are different details, be sure to watch out for these in the passage as well. Pay close attention to whether or not you will be able to use the options more than once.

4. Scan the Passage - As you scan the passage, you should circle or underline those names from answer options. This will help you locate where you want to read more later.

A great optional strategy is to focus on how often each name or detail appears in the passage. If one of your answer options appears more often than another, it will be more difficult for you to pinpoint the answer. It could be helpful to write a star or symbol next to the areas in which the information is presented so that you can reference it later. Look out for options that appear once or twice in the passage - these will generally be easier to answer, and you may want to focus on these questions first.

Quick Tip! Since you may have to go back and forth in order to find the correct answer, follow this helpful tip. When you find that the entire name is listed in the passage (i.e 'Francis Lloyd Wright' rather than just 'Wright') it is a good sign that it is the first time the person has been mentioned. Usually, the passage will list the only the last name of the person after he or she has been mentioned with his or her whole name

5. Skim the Paragraphs - As noted in the previous step, looking for information in the passage about the answer options is an important step. For those answer options that appear multiple times in the passage, you will need to skim the surrounding information in order to match them correctly with the options provided. Additionally, do not be surprised if you notice synonyms of the information provided in the options. For instance, the phrase "a decrease in available funds" could be included in the passage as "a drop in accessible investments".

After you've done this, start answering your questions. Some things may make immediate sense after having scanned the text, but some questions may take more time. Before we use these tips to look at an example, let's briefly discuss what not to do when answering the Matching Features question type.

1. Do not read the entire passage. As a general rule for the Reading section, it is not necessary and actually time-restrictive to read the entire passage, word for word. Be sure to use the scanning technique, first and foremost, for this section.

2. Do not get confused if the text includes synonyms of the information that is originally presented in the questions. This section is known for using synonyms and presenting information in different ways, which is why it's important to brush up on your vocabulary for this exam.

3. Do not write words or names on your answer sheet. The answers for this question type will be the letters that correspond to the various paragraphs.

4. Do not expect the answers to come in order. Since the questions do not follow the order of the text, you may have to go back and forth in order to find the correct answer. Obviously, this is why scanning is an important tool for this task.

Recap
Here are some brief tips to remember when approaching this question type:

Do:

Read the questions first and circle or underline any key words.
Scan the passage looking for information provided in the features and also the questions.
Skim as necessary in the areas surrounding the key words and features in the passage.
Write letters in your answer sheet.
Remember that answers will not come in order.
Don’t: 

Read the passage first. 
Read for general information! You want to read for specific details, use the scanning method first, and then skim as necessary.
Repeat any letters if not instructed to do so in the directions.
Write any words in your answer booklet for this section.
