Across Cultures

In an increasingly (0) GLOBALISED world, the importance of cross-cultural communication is hard to overstate. In international workplaces, even small (1) .......... (UNDERSTAND) can lead to confusion, delays and damaged relationships. Successful cooperation depends not only on language ability but also on cultural (2) .......... (AWARE), which helps people recognise that behaviour considered polite in one country may seem strange in another. Without this kind of knowledge, teams may make unfair (3) .......... (JUDGE) about colleagues whose communication styles differ from their own. By contrast, organisations that encourage openness and curiosity are more likely to create an (4) .......... (INCLUDE) environment in which employees feel respected. This often leads to greater trust and more effective (5) .......... (COLLABORATE) between departments and international partners. Cross-cultural skills are also valuable outside work. Travellers who behave (6) .......... (RESPECT) are more likely to build positive connections with local people. In education, students benefit from the (7) .......... (EXPOSE) to different perspectives, which can challenge assumptions and promote intellectual growth. Ultimately, good cross-cultural communication reduces (8) .......... (CERTAIN) and helps people work together more successfully.

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.
