LISTENING - Before the recording starts, quickly ____ all the questions to understand what you need to catch. Try to ____ what kind of words or information might come up (like a number, place, or feeling, etc.). During the first listening, focus on catching keywords and ____, not every single word. If you miss something, don’t worry - stay ____ and move on. On the second listen, check your answers and ____ anything you might have missed. LISTENING - T/F/NS: Use the preparation time to focus on the ____ in the statements. Information in the recording generally follows the same order as the questions on the paper. Remember that False means the statement ____ the recording, while Not Stated means the information simply is ____. Beware of ____ - listen for synonyms and paraphrasing rather than exact words. Be wary of words like always, only, or ____. Use the first listening to get the general idea and the second listening to ____ and fill in any gaps. Even if you are unsure, ____ provide an answer. You have a 33% chance of getting it right by guessing! LANGUAGE IN USE - Multiple choice A, B, C, D. If you are unsure which option to choose, first and foremost, make sure to use the process of ____. If elimination does not help, carefully read the whole paragraph ____, until you come to the problematic part/space. Read also the text that ____ after the problematic space. Pay attention to collocations, prepositions, and tenses. Another thing you can do is mouthing the sentence for yourself while trying to ____ it with each of the ____ provided and decide which one fits the best. To avoid wasting too much time on one item, you may want to ____ the problematic sentence, ____ with other questions and ____ to it after some time, with a fresh outlook. If you are at your wit's end, take a ____! In any case, ____ leave the question unanswered on your answer sheet. WORD FORMATION - You can prepare for this exercise by memorising the typical ____ (word beginnings) and ____ (word endings) found in each word class. When forming new words, focus on the meaning needed in the context as well as on the grammatical form, especially the suffixes and prefixes. For instance, NOUNS ____ ____, ____, ____, ____, VERBS ____, ____, ____, ____, ____, ADVERBS ____. After you have completed the text, read through it again and check all the forms you have created. Does everything sound correct? LANGUAGE IN USE - Fill in a suitable word. Always write just ____ word in each gap! Read each sentence carefully. Use ____ words (such as articles, prepositions, numerals, quantifiers, conjunctions, etc.). Pay attention also to the ____ and corresponding ____ (have/has, had, forms of the verb to be, can/could, etc.). Sometimes, an adverb or an adjective can be required, but mostly only as a part of a typical collocation, for instance: ____ information. After you have finished, read the whole text ____ and check if the words you have just used really make sense in the context, both ____ and lexically. The more you ____ this type of task, the better you become! :) READING - ANSWER WITH ONE OR TWO WORDS - Firstly, ____ the text briefly. Then, read each ____ and make sure you understand what is being asked. Then read the text carefully to find all the ____ target information. Scan the text if needed. You may want to lightly ____ the parts that provide answers to your questions. Then, come back to the questions and ____ them. You might need to look for the information in a different order to the questions order. Make sure to ____ words when needed. Do not spend too much time on one item. Do not leave a space blank - make an educated guess!
