If you are unsure, try to work out which answers are wrong. See what is left, if you are still unsure, make a guess!
-
This part will test how well you understand the text and your knowledge of grammar , such as tenses, pronouns and prepositions.You may also have to answer questions that test fixed phrases , phrasal verbs and linking expressions.
Think about what kind of word is needed in the gap and read the whole sentence to make sure the word you choose fits grammatically.
Remember you can only use ONE WORD, check the spelling is correct.
-
Don’t worry if you can’t understand every word of the text . Read the title , then read through the text to see what it is about .
-
You have to decide what kind of word fits the gap (noun, verb, adjective or adverb). Read the sentence carefully to check which one is needed.
-
Don’t spend too long thinking about answers you’re not sure of. Complete as many answers as you can, then return to the ones that you haven’t done . You may have a better idea of those answers as you become more familiar with the text.
-
Contracted words like they’ve, count as two words so make sure that you do not write more than five words.
It is especially important not to leave any answers blank here. Each answer is worth two marks, so even if your answer is not completely correct, you might still get a mark.
Before you answer the questions, read quickly through the text to get a general idea of what it is about.Then read each question or incomplete sentence correctly, so that you know what you are looking for in the text . Look carefully for the cues for each question- these will help you to locate information in the text.
The questions follow the text but there may be more than one question in a paragraph.
Look for words and phrases that hold the text together, like pronouns and time words.These can give you important clues when deciding which sentences fit the gaps.
Underline any words in sentences A-G which might link the sentence with a particular paragraph , for example pronouns, tenses or linking words. Look carefully to see if any of the sentences are adding a similar or contrasting idea.
-
If you think two sentences fit in a gap, leave it and continue with the other questions. Then go back and fill in the ones you are unsure about.
Make sure you read the instructions and the title of the text , if there is one .Then read through the questions and underline any key words that may help you find the answer.
There will be at least one answer for each text, so check again if you have one text with no answers in it.
Read closely when you think you have found the answer to a question .There may be information in more than one paragraph which appears to answer a question, but it won’t be completely correct in both. Check carefully.
