Hi guys,
Below are the answers to the reading lesson based on matching headings about The Greenhouse Effect.
If you have not completed this reading lesson, please do it before look at the answers. Click here: Matching Headings Reading Practice
Below you will find the headings options and the answers.
Matching Headings Options
- i Temperatures on Earth
- ii. The Greenhouse
- iii. Creating Global Warming
- iv. Use of a Greenhouse
- v. Our Choices
- vi. Greenhouse Gases
- vii. Earth’s Atmosphere
- viii. Reversing the Damage
- ix. Effects of Carbon Dioxide
Paragraph A = ii
Explanation: This first paragraph explains what a greenhouse is and how it works. The first paragraph does give information about the use of the greenhouse, such as planting (iv), but that is not the aim of the paragraph. The information about the use of the greenhouse is additional information. The paragraph actually explains a) what a greenhouse is b) what use it has and c) how it works day and night. If you list that information on paper, the best heading is “The Greenhouse” – the paragraph gives an overview of a greenhouse.
Paragraph B = i
Explanation: The second paragraph explains the changes in the temperatures on Earth and compared this to a greenhouse.
Paragraph C = iii
Explanation: This was a bit tricky. If you didn’t get this right, don’t worry. The aim of the paragraph is to explain how the global warming is created. This paragraph explains how the greenhouse gases function to cause global warming. There certainly is a lot of information about greenhouse gases (vi), but the reason for the information is to explain how global warming happens. To help you understand further, if the paragraph aim was about the gases, it should have more information about the gases such as what causes them. The information about Carbon Dioxide (ix) is just additional information.
Paragraph D = v
The first sentence opens up the debate of whether it is too late or not to change the effects of global warming. The paragraph aim is to present the three options that are open to us according to the specialist mentioned. Only options three is about reversing the damage (viii), but that is not the aim of the whole paragraph.
I hope you found this useful 🙂 From Liz.

I attempted this quiz and got 3/4. I believe this is a magnificent learning material that really build confidence. Thanks Liz. I have been following you up on youtube for quite some time and I think your lectures really helped me a lot.
I think that while attempting IELTS, we need to be more clever, cautious, and attentive about the speech and the sentences written. What I have assessed so far is that it’s all about understanding the depth of the language and the real meaning intended in the passage or in the speech if this is a Listening test.
However, sometimes, it is very difficult to visualize what the writer thinks. You can’t read somebody’s mind. But in order to become an expert in the language, you have to do so.
Besides, I am really inspired by the True, False, Not Given as well as the Paragraph identification stuff. Even if we do not intend to take IELTS, learning these skills greatly help us to improve our day to day conversation and writing competencies.
Best Regards

You’ve really grasped IELTS. It is about being more thoughtful about language and thinking more about what words really mean in their context. Paraphrasing isn’t just about finding synonyms, but finding language that has a similar meaning in the context. I’m glad my lessons are useful 🙂

Thank you very much Liz. I got two out of 4.Thank you for explaining it.
3/4. Thanks for this Liz
I only got 1 out of 4. I am discouraged
At this stage, it is not about getting them all right. This is about learning. Do you feel that you learned something? Do you feel that you have a better understanding of these types of questions. All my lessons are about learning and understanding more about IELTS. If you feel you understand more now, then you are going in the right direction.
Thank you Liz,
I have a better understanding of these types of questions. I will focus more on the topic sentence next time.
Haha. You just encouraged me! I only got 2 correctly and I’ve been eating myself up till I saw this comment of yours! It is not as bad as you think it is. Let us work harder.
