Reading | Part 7: gapped text
  • A gapped text from which paragraphs have been removed     and  placed in jumbled order after the text​.
  • Six gaps​.
  • Seven paragraphs (one is not needed).
  • Focus: understanding of the overall structure of the text and the way it develops its ideas.

Slide 3 - Slide

Check if the paragraph fits into the gap
  • Cohesion: must be a grammatical match with something in the previous/next paragraph. 
  • Coherence: must make sense in terms of the meaning of the previous/next paragraph.
  • Text structure: must flow logically (e.g. development of an argument; a series of events).
  • Global meaning: the meaning of the text as a whole.
