CAE READING AND USE OF ENGLISH PART 2
In part 2 there is a text with words missing. Whereas in part 1 you pick from a choice of words, in part 2 there is no such help. You have to use your knowledge of grammar to produce the right word.

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Tips!
Write only one word. One! Only! Cambridge consider contractions like 'won't' to be two words (will not), so that will never be an answer in part 2.

Start by reading the title, then quickly read the whole text. This will help tell you if words should be positive or negative.

Sometimes more than one word might be possible - for example if 'whereas' fits, 'while' might also fit. Either answer is okay, but don't write both.

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

The most common answers were (in order of frequency):

to - being - which - for - with - one - not - as 

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Coming of age:

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Exercise 3
Look at the "How to do it"box
Look carefully at what part of speech is missing
REMEMBER: The words are usually short, for example prepositions (on, in, at), linking words (because, also), auxiliary verbs(helping verbs: be, do, have), pronouns,(he, she, they), relative pronouns (which, that, whose, whoever,  who,) etc.
TIP: Check your answers using the information in the Tip Box

Key word transformation

TRANSFORM INFORMATION FROM ONE SENTENCE TO ANOTHER USING THREE TO SIX WORDS IINCLUDING THE WORDS GIVEN

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

Exercise 5 page 29
The objective is to transform information from one sentence to another without changing the meaning. You cannot change the word given, the lexis (posh way of saying words and phrases) and grammar changes but not the meaning in the sentence. 

Look at the example in the book

Slide 14 - Tekstslide

1. Basic Tips
  • Use between 3-6 words. Most contractions are 2 words (won't, don't = will not, do not). It might be possible to complete the sentence in a grammatically correct way with 2 words, or with 22 words, but you won't get any points for that!
● Don't change the word. If the word given is 'TO' you can't use 'INTO'. If the word is 'GO' you can't use 'WENT'.
● Each question is worth 2 points. You might not know the whole answer but sometimes one correct word will give you a point.
● Try to keep the same meaning - If the first sentence says 'Tom said...' then don't write 'He said...' in the second sentence. (Write ‘Tom said’.)
● Check your tenses - if the first sentence is in the past tense, the second should be, too!  

Slide 15 - Tekstslide

Exercise 6
Read the "How to do it"box 
Look carefully at the tenses and form in the first sentence before deciding which are correct or not.
