C1 Advanced (CAE) 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!

The story of muscle cars
Muscle cars were never intended to be valuable. In fact, the whole idea behind muscle cars was to make them inexpensiveEXPENSIVE and fast. Muscle cars were stripped-down versions of the most utilitarianUTILITY homely, and basic mass-produced cars to ever roll out of Detroit. These rattle trap, bare-bones, crude devices were built to conform to a price point with little regard given to sophistication or longevityLONG, and aimed squarely at the youthYOUNG market. And this market couldn’t get enough of them. These were the cars every red-blooded American kid wanted. The image, the speed, the lifestyle were all highly addictive.
Looking back, the muscle car years were relativelyRELATIVE brief moment in time that we will never see the likes of again. It was a perfect storm, just what the market wanted, and was presented at the right place at the right time. So how did these seemingly disposableDISPOSE cars, built-in large numbers and owned by kids who literallyLITERAL tried to kill them from the first twist of the key, become so valuable? More importantly, why did they become so valuable? Most people are astounded when they hear the recent sales results of the most desirableDESIRE muscle cars. We call them two-comma cars, cars that are worth so much money that you need two commas to separate all the zeroes in the price.

Как написать хороший ответ?
Чтобы добавить хороший ответ необходимо:
- Отвечать достоверно на те вопросы, на которые знаете
правильный ответ; - Писать подробно, чтобы ответ был исчерпывающий и не
побуждал на дополнительные вопросы к нему; - Писать без грамматических, орфографических и
пунктуационных ошибок.
Этого делать не стоит:
- Копировать ответы со сторонних ресурсов. Хорошо ценятся
уникальные и личные объяснения; - Отвечать не по сути: «Подумай сам(а)», «Легкотня», «Не
знаю» и так далее; - Использовать мат — это неуважительно по отношению к
пользователям; - Писать в ВЕРХНЕМ РЕГИСТРЕ.
