РЕКОМЕНДАЦИИ К ВЫПОЛНЕНИЮ ЗАДАНИЙ 32-38

• Это задание направлено, скорее, на проверку вашего словарного запаса, а не грамматики. Наиболее часто встречающиеся разделы, знание которых проверяется в этих заданиях, — это фразовые глаголы, предлоги, устойчивые словосочетания, а также слова, близкие по форме или по значению, которые легко спутать (например, make и do).

• Прежде чем начать выполнять задание, обязательно прочитайте весь рассказ, не обращая внимания на пропуски, чтобы понять его основное содержание, и подумайте, какое слово могло бы подойти. Даже если вы не сможете вспомнить подходящее слово, оно начнет “вертеться у вас на языке”, и вы его сразу же узнаете, когда прочитаете предлагаемые ответы!

• Перечитайте рассказ до первого пропуска. При выборе ответа особое внимание обратите на слова, прилегающие к пропуску, так как очень часто именно они определяют правильный ответ. Выбор правильного слова из двух подходящих может зависеть, например, от предлога или слова, стоящего до или после пропуска.

• Подумайте, какие слова могли бы подойти для заполнения пропуска. Только теперь прочитайте предлагаемые варианты ответов и сделайте ваш выбор.

• Если вы не знаете, какой ответ выбрать, попробуйте начать исключать варианты, которые точно не подходят.

• Если вы всё-таки не можете определить, какой ответ является правильным, положитесь на свою интуицию и попытайтесь отгадать правильный ответ. На экзамене ни в коем случае не оставляйте пустую клетку в бланке ответов, так как за пустые клетки баллов не начисляют!

• Проверьте, все ли пропуски вы заполнили. После того, как вы выбрали все ответы, не забудьте перенести их в бланк ответов № 1. Это последнее задание в разделе, и очень часто в спешке учащиеся забывают перенести ответы в бланк. Помните, при подсчете баллов учитываются только те ответы, которые перенесены в бланк ответов!

• Рекомендуемое время на выполнение этого задания — 20 мин.
