Mental Health Awareness

Public discussion of mental health has become far more (0) VISIBLE in recent years, and this change has had a largely positive effect. Greater awareness can reduce the (1) .......... (STIGMA) that often prevents people from seeking help, while also encouraging more open and (2) .......... (HONESTY) conversations about emotional wellbeing. In schools and workplaces, early (3) .......... (INTERVENE) can make a significant difference, especially when signs of stress are recognised before they become severe. However, awareness alone is not enough. It must be supported by (4) .......... (PRACTICE) policies, properly trained staff and access to (5) .......... (PROFESSION) support. Another challenge is the (6) .......... (TEND) to treat mental health as a private weakness rather than a shared social concern. This attitude can be particularly (7) .......... (DAMAGE) for young people, who may already feel isolated or misunderstood. For this reason, public campaigns should aim not only to inform, but also to create a more (8) .......... (INCLUDE) culture in which asking for help is seen as a sign of strength rather than failure.

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.
