required to choose a word or phrase which will complete the given sentence in a grammatically correct way Remember: & Read the sentence or short exchange carefully and consider what kind of structure is required & Look at the position of the gap in the sentence and consider what part of speech is required ® Look out for words (e.g linking words) or expressions (e.g time expressions) that can help you decide on the correct answer < Consider the syntax and style of the sentence Q & Read the four answer choices carefully and decide on the correct answer & If you are not sure about the correct answer, try to eliminate the answer choices that are grammatically incorrect & Once you have decided on the correct answer, read the sentence or short exchange together with your answer, making sure that they form a grammatically correct sentence & Make sure you transfer your answers to the answer sheet clearly and carefully There are 35 multiple-choice items in this section which test basic knowledge of vocabulary Candidates are required to choose the word or phrase which is appropriate in the context of the sentence Remember: & You should always learn new words in context You can even try to use these new words in your own example sentences This helps you remember new vocabulary instead of simply memorising their definitions in your mother tongue & You should learn verbs, nouns and adjectives with their dependent prepositions (e.g laugh at somebody, talent for something, be good at something) & Try to remember collocations (e.g make a mistake, one’s homework) and fixed expressions (e.g at the beginning of, in the beginning) that are considered problematic because they are quite similar Learn how to break down words in order to find the root, prefix and suffix This will not only help you learn more words but also help you understand how they are formed This will automatically increase your awareness of the language & You can greatly improve your vocabulary by
