Missing Sentences Tips

What to do

This part is one of the longest texts that you must read. 5 sentences were removed. Your task is to choose the right sentence in the right gap.

Be careful there are 3 extra sentences you don’t need.

Some of the questions ask about facts and some ask about opinions. You’ll always be able to find the answers in the text.

Strategy

1. The first thing you should do is to read the whole text to get a general understanding of what it is about.
2. Then, look at each numbered space in turn and choose one of the sentences to fit the gap. In order to do this, you not only need to check that the meaning is correct for the gap but also that it fits grammatically with the sentences before and after the gap.
3. Once you have chosen the sentence that you think fits best, quickly check that the other sentences don’t fit and try to decide why they are wrong.
4. Once you have found all the missing sentences, read the text once more to make sure that it all makes sense.
