Changing Traditions

Many customs that seem ancient are not as fixed as people imagine. In fact, the (0) TRADITIONAL (TRADITION) image of a festival often hides a long history of change. Over time, communities make (1) .......... (ADAPT) to old celebrations so that they remain meaningful in modern life. Sometimes these changes happen because of new technology, greater (2) .......... (MIGRATE), or contact with other cultures. As a result, practices that were once local can gain international (3) .......... (POPULAR). At the same time, some people worry that too much change may lead to the (4) .......... (LOSE) of important values. However, historians point out that complete (5) .......... (STABLE) has never really existed. Even ceremonies that look formal today were often quite (6) .......... (DIFFER) in the past. In many cases, the (7) .......... (PRESERVE) of a tradition depends on a community’s willingness to accept careful change rather than reject it. This explains why cultural events can remain (8) .......... (RECOGNISE) while still developing from one generation to the next.

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.
