IELTS Reading - Yes No Not Given

Figuring out opinions and the positions of writers can be tricky. On the IELTS Exam, on of the hardest question types to answer is "Task Type 8". Type eight has two forms - True/False/Not Given, and Yes/No/Not Given. It is the Yes/No/Not Given questions that focus on opinion based writing, and consequently, are some of the trickiest questions to answer.
