Daily Routines

For many people, a well-planned day brings a sense of (0) BALANCE (BALANCE) to life. Even a fairly (1) .......... (ORGANISE) routine can reduce stress and improve productivity. People who start the morning (2) .......... (ENERGY) often find it easier to deal with unexpected problems later in the day. Good time management also allows for greater (3) .......... (FLEXIBLE), which is important when plans suddenly change. In addition, a healthy lifestyle depends on making (4) .......... (CARE) choices about food, sleep and exercise. Without enough rest, people may become (5) .......... (PATIENCE) with others and less effective at work or school. Another common mistake is to act (6) .......... (THOUGHT) instead of considering the consequences of a decision. Fortunately, even small improvements can have a (7) .......... (SIGNIFY) effect over time. As a result, people often feel more confident and better able to deal with the (8) .......... (DEMAND) of everyday life.

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.
