 Tips

Sergio
 Begin by reading through the whole text to find out what it is about and what it contains.
This will help you to know the context for filling each gap.

Camila
 When you form each word, decide first of all what kind of word it must be (an adjective,
a noun, a verb or an adverb). Look carefully at what comes both before and after each
gap so that you can decide what kind of word is required
Karen
 Then decide what the required word must mean. For example, if it I an adjective, is it a
negative adjective requiring a prefix? If it is a noun, should it be plural?

Laura When you have filled a gap, read the sentence that contains it again -make sure that it
makes sense and is grammatically correct with the word you have put into the gap.
