B2 First (FCE) Use of English: Part 3
Strategy:
- Read the text for general understanding.
- Decide what type of word you need for each gap (e.g. noun, adjective, etc.).
- Look at the whole sentence, not just al the line containing the gap.
- You may need to add a prefix or suffix to some words.
- Read through the text and check that your words make sense.
- Check your spelling.
Tips:
You need to read the whole text to get the writer’s opinion on the topic. That’s because sometimes a negative prefix will be required. There is usually at least one word requiring a negative prefix, so look out for these.
In the exam always write something. You never know, you might be lucky even if you are not sure of the answer!
