Digital Skills Today

In modern society, digital literacy is no longer seen as an optional skill but as a basic (0) REQUIREMENT (REQUIRE) for everyday life. People who lack confidence online may face (1) .......... (DIFFICULT) when applying for jobs, accessing services, or even communicating with others. Schools are therefore placing greater (2) .......... (EMPHASISE) on teaching students how to use technology safely and effectively. This includes not only the (3) .......... (ABLE) to operate devices, but also the skill to judge whether online information is (4) .......... (RELY). Without this, users can easily become victims of false or misleading content. Another important aspect is understanding online behaviour and acting with (5) .......... (RESPONSIBLE) when sharing personal data or commenting on social media. In the workplace, employers increasingly value staff who can adapt to new systems with (6) .......... (EASY) and solve technical problems independently. As technology continues to develop, lifelong learning becomes a (7) .......... (NECESSARY), not a choice. For this reason, improving digital literacy can lead to greater (8) ..........

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.
