Je kunt hier het verschil tussen THAN en THEN uitleggen.

Than = trappen van vergelijking.

Then = verloop in tijd.

Reading strategies:

- plaatje geeft CONTEXT

- het CE examen vraagt niet jouw mening.

Pitfalls

In the exam there are 3 major pitfalls (valkuilen).

After this series of lessons you will know how to avoid "falling into" these pitfalls.

Pitfalls Reading/Listening Exam

• Valkuil 1: het is misschien wel zo, maar jouw mening wordt niet gevraagd. 
  
• Valkuil 2: alle antwoorden komen terug in de tekst of het fragment, maar de vraag gaat over een detail. Controleer de hele zin / alinea in de tekst of het fragment.
• Valkuil 3: je focust op het zoeken van woorden uit de antwoorden in plaats van de betekenis. Het antwoord bevat vaak een synoniem of omschrijving van informatie in de tekst. 

Pitfalls = valkuilen.
