Community Support

Local charities play an (0) ESSENTIAL (ESSENCE) role in many neighbourhoods, especially when public services are under pressure. Their work often begins with the (1) .......... (IDENTIFY) of local needs, such as food shortages, loneliness, or lack of after-school activities. Once a problem has been recognised, volunteers help with the (2) .......... (ORGANISE) of events, donation drives, and advice sessions. This support can have a deeply (3) .......... (BENEFIT) effect on people who are facing difficult circumstances. In many cases, charities also provide (4) .......... (PRACTICE) help, such as hot meals, transport, or job-search guidance. Their success depends heavily on public (5) .......... (GENEROUS), since most of these groups rely on donations rather than profit. Without enough funding, it becomes (6) .......... (POSSIBLE) for them to continue some of their most valuable projects. For this reason, clear communication is (7) .......... (IMPORTANCE), as it helps charities explain their aims and encourage wider involvement. In the end, their presence can strengthen social ties and create a greater sense of (8) .......... (TOGETHER) within the community.

What to do

For each gap you get one word in capitals which you have to change so the grammar and meaning fit in the sentence. Here you have to show how well you know word families and if you can change words by using prefixes and suffixes.

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!

Strategy

  1. Read the title and the whole text so that you understand what it is about.
  2. Look at each sentence in detail.
  3. Think about what kind of word you need and whether you need a negative prefix or a suffix.
  4. Read the sentence again to check whether you need a plural form.
  5. Check your spelling, as it must be correct.
