Useful Language
About the text: rethink the meaning of literacy · create and collaborate · work together in any environment
Words that often fill gaps: prepositions (as, in, for) · question words (how, where, why) · time words (when) · comparatives and superlatives (more, most)
Reading for grammar: “think of literacy as…” · “learn how to create” · “one of the most important skills” · “in any environment”
Exam Tip
Part 4 tests grammar and vocabulary. Read the whole sentence, not just the words next to the gap, then choose the word that fits both the meaning and the grammar. Watch question words like how and superlative phrases like one of the most.
