Exercise 4: Individual task

  1. Give your own examples of something difficult you have done, that has changed you for the better. 
  2. Work in small groups to think of of a challenge - it should have a positive effect on the people taking part: for example... Give up meat for one week
If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.

Slide 14 - Tekstslide

Why are we practicing this??
Part 6 of the First Cambridge exam is always a gapped text, just like the one in the text book.
It is only 6 gaps, but they are worth 2 points each, so 12 points in all.....I think it is a good idea to try to put as much as effort as possible. One mistake could cost you 4 points as if you get a letter wrong, then you will not have it available to use later in the text. 

Slide 15 - Tekstslide

Top Tips for Part 6
  • Underline parts of the text that give you the answer
  • In the gaps, you might be looking for a time connection, 
  • Focus on the little words, usually pronouns (he, this, that .... what do they refer to???
