USE OF ENGLISH PART 4
KEY WORD TRANSFORMATIONS
In this part you will be given some sentences, in each one you have to re-write the sentence by using one word that they will give you, and the sentence has to keep the same sense or meaning.
Example question:
The drive home was too long to complete that night.
short
The drive home ___________________ to complete that night.
TIPS:
Tip 1
Although this part is a test of vocabulary (e.g. phrasal verbs and parts of speech) as well as grammar, classroom time on grammar is more likely to have an impact on students' performance in the exam. Grammar students are likely to find in this part: unreal past (conditionals and wishes), passives, reported speech, present perfect/ simple past, (past) modals, (not) as…..as, and so/ such.
Tip 2
Remember: the gap should be filled with five words or fewer. Contractions count as two words, not one.
Tip 3
Because of the scoring system, it's possible to get 50% in this section without getting any of the questions 100% correct. So it's worth answering every question! Even incomplete answers can get points.
Tip 4
Make absolutely sure that the two sentences mean the same thing. For example, if the sentence to transform has names in it, the answer will have to have them too.
Tip 8
Remember that the word given (e.g. short in the example) must be included in the answer, and cannot be altered in any way (i.e. can not be changed to 'shorter' or 'shortness').
