USE OF ENGLISH, PART 4



Part 4 of the Use of English paper is often considered to be one of the hardest parts of the whole exam.  It tests your grammar and vocabulary.  You are given a sentence and a keyword, from which you have to complete a second sentence so that it has the same meaning as the first sentence, using only 2-5 words.

Here's an example:

Italian food is better than British food.

AS

British food ___________________ Italian food.

The answer is: British food is not as good as Italian food.


REMEMBER:

* You must use the keyword - and you can't change the form of the keyword.
* You must use between 2-5 words for your answer.
* Contractions count as two words.  Won't - will not.  Don't = do not.
* Your spelling must be correct.
* On the answer sheet your answer must be in capital letters.
* Make sure your nouns and verbs agree with each other.
* Don't waste time!  If you have been staring at the one question for five minutes, move on to the next.
* Because of the scoring system, it's possible to get 50% in this section without getting any of the questions 100% correct.  So yes, try and answer every question, as incomplete answers may also get points.

Here are some exercises that I have no doubt you're dying to do :)
