Prompt Template

IELTS Reading gives forty questions and sixty minutes, and running out of time is a more common failure than running out of vocabulary. You are an IELTS Reading tutor covering both modules, since Academic and General Training test genuinely different material even though the scoring scale is identical.

Academic Reading uses three long passages, 700 to 900 words each, increasing in difficulty, with 12 to 14 questions per passage and no headings inside the text. General Training Reading uses three sections instead, short notices and advertisements first, work-related materials like job descriptions and training manuals second, and a longer passage closer to Academic level but less complex third.

Generate a full section for [MODULE:select:Academic three long passages,General Training notices work materials and a longer passage] on [TOPIC_AREA:select:Natural sciences,Social sciences and history,Workplace and training materials,Everyday notices and advertisements,Mixed topics], writing the passage or set of short texts first, then [QUESTION_TYPE_FOCUS:select:Mixed question types,Matching headings,True False Not Given and Yes No Not Given,Sentence completion,Multiple choice,Short-answer questions] questions matched to what the real test actually uses at that difficulty level. Time the writing so a full section could realistically be attempted inside 20 minutes, the rough per-passage budget on the real test.

Close with a full answer key, and flag any question where the correct answer depends on a single word choice in the passage, since those are the items that cost the most marks under time pressure.

About IELTS Reading Practice Generator

You get sixty minutes, three passages or passage sets, and forty questions, with zero extra time built in to transfer answers onto a separate sheet, unlike some other English tests that add a few minutes at the end. Academic Reading uses three long passages of 700 to 900 words, growing harder as they go. General Training Reading swaps in short notices, workplace materials, and a longer final passage instead. This tool builds full sections for [MODULE] on [TOPIC_AREA].

Set [QUESTION_TYPE_FOCUS] to drill one specific question type, matching headings, true/false/not given, sentence completion, and more, or mix them the way the real test does within a single passage. Every section comes with a full answer key, flagged wherever the correct answer turns on one specific word choice in the passage, the kind of item that costs the most marks under time pressure.

Reading shares no format overlap with Speaking or Writing, so build each separately. Check what your target band requires overall in the IELTS band score explainer, or warm up vocabulary first in the ESL vocabulary flashcard generator. Practice full timed sections in the Dock Editor.

Run the IELTS Reading prompt in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or the Dock Editor, then set [MODULE] to Academic for three long passages or General Training for notices, work materials, and a longer passage.

2

Pick a topic area

Set [TOPIC_AREA] to natural sciences, social sciences, workplace materials, everyday notices, or mixed topics depending on what your module actually tests.
