From Paper 1 (Reading) of the CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English) of the University of Cambridge, Part 1. In this part candidates are asked to read three extracts and to answer a total of 18 questions, six per extract.
Here are some directions and suggestions given in the CPE handbook for this task:
Students should be aware of the different aspects of vocabulary tested in this part of the paper. They should read through each text carefully, not forgetting the title, to get a general idea of the text type and meaning before looking at the options. They could also be encouraged to think about the possible forms and meanings of the gapped words at this stage. They should be aware that the missing word(s) may form part of an idiom, fixed phrase or collocation, so they should always check the words around the gap carefully. The missing word(s) must also fit the whole context of the passage so they should also check that the completed sentence makes sense in the passage as a whole. This is particularly important in the case of linkers.
Are you ready to read the extract and decide which answer best fits each gap?

WOW... This was a tough test. However, I scored 6/6. How do you compose these gaps, do you use a special program?

successorHow do you compose these gaps, do you use a special program?Hi.
I tried to find the post where Hitchhiker explained how to post tests, but I didn't make it.
However, the code is quite simple.
Enclose the text within the tags [ test ] and [ /test ]

Hi,
thanks for the advice. How about the "check your answers" -function? A different colour is needed for the correct words, right? I will try to make up a test soon, so your help is really useful.
