“Titanic” – IELTS reading with tasks
Shared by Anonymous
The title of this reading passage is “Lessons from the Titanic” – it’s a classic when it comes to sample IELTS reading texts. What follows is a set of IELTS tasks based on the text. Be warned, the reading is very long and you shouldn’t base a whole lesson on it. I recommend you let your students read it at home and assign the tasks on installments – preferably to be done at home as well.
Tasks
