Active Citizens

A healthy democracy depends not only on elected leaders but also on the (0) ACTIVE (ACT) involvement of ordinary people. When citizens take part in public life, they help ensure that political decisions reflect a wider range of needs and opinions. Without such (1) .......... (INVOLVE), governments may become distant and less aware of everyday concerns. Citizen participation can take many forms, from voting in elections to joining local campaigns or attending public meetings. These activities encourage a sense of (2) .......... (RESPONSIBLE) and remind people that democracy is not something that functions automatically. It requires regular attention and informed action. In addition, public debate becomes more (3) .......... (PRODUCT) when people listen carefully to different views instead of reacting with anger. Respectful discussion can reduce (4) .......... (DIVIDE) and make cooperation easier. It also helps build (5) .......... (CONFIDENT) in public institutions. However, participation is sometimes limited by a lack of information or by the (6) .......... (BELIEVE) that one person cannot make a difference. This attitude can lead to (7) .......... (ACTIVE) at the very moment when societies need more engagement. For this reason, schools should encourage political (8) .......... (AWARE) from an early age.

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.
