Modern Eating Habits

New habits often spread quickly, especially when they are linked (0) TO health, identity and social change. One clear example is veganism, which has moved from being a niche lifestyle to one that is discussed in the mainstream. People are drawn to it for different reasons, some of which relate (1) .......... animal welfare, while others are concerned (2) .......... the environmental impact of food production. At the same time, not everyone adopts such habits in exactly the same way. Some people become fully vegan overnight, whereas others prefer to cut (3) .......... meat and dairy gradually. What many of them have (4) .......... common is a desire to live more consciously and to think carefully about the consequences of everyday choices. This shift is visible not only in supermarkets but also in restaurants, where menus now cater (5) .......... a wider range of preferences than before. Even those who do not give (6) .......... animal products entirely may still choose plant-based meals more often. Whether this trend will continue depends (7) .......... how strongly people feel such changes improve their lives. For now, however, it seems clear that new habits like veganism are here to stay, and that society is adapting (8) .......... them.

What to do

This part consists of a short text with a series of gaps. There are no words from which to choose the answers, candidates have to think of a word which fits the gap correctly.

Errors in punctuation are ignored, although spelling must be correct.

Contractions (e.g. don’t, we’ve, won’t) count as two words. However, can’t is a contraction of cannot, which is one word.

Sometimes, there is more than one correct answer. Cambridge will always account for this and all options will be accepted. However, you should not write more than one answer.

Don't spend time in a word you don't know. Wasting time on this activity might cost you points later in the exam because you won’t have enough time to do other tasks well.

Strategy

  1. Read the title and the whole text so that you understand what it is about.
  2. Read the whole sentence in which the gap occurs, to look for clues as to what kind of word you need.
  3. Check the words before and after each gap and look for grammatical collocations.
  4. Remember you must write only one word.
  5. You are never required to write a contraction. If you think the answer is a contraction, it must be wrong, so think again.
  6. Read the whole text through once you have completed it to make sure you have not missed any connectors, plurals or negatives.
