H4 - FCE reading practice

FCE Reading is often combined with FCE Use of English. That is why we will talk about parts 5-7.

Part 5

A longer text with 6 multiple choice questions at the end. You will be given 4 (a,b,c,d) options to choose from. 

This comes pretty close the how the final exam texts are structured. 

Questions often focus on understanding people's feelings and ideas instead of simple facts about the text.

Part 6

In this part, there is 1 shorter text with in which 6 sentences are missing. These 6 sentences will be given to you at the end of the text, in random order. There will a 7th sentence extra, which is not needed in the text, to confuse you. So make sure there is always 1 sentence left at the end!

So read the text first, then the sentences, and put 6 of them in the right gap.

Hint: 

- Pay attention to the words before and after the gap.

- Think about what kind of idea is missing 

- Look for clues that will help you confirm or eliminate answers

- Always use the context to your advantage. What is the paragraph about? 

Part 7

You will get 10 questions, followed by either 1 long text or several shorter ones. 

Each section of the text will have a letter (for example A-E)

You need to match each question to the correct section of text. Keep in mind that each section can of course be used more than once. 

It is important that you use skimming: reading a text quickly and finding the most important pieces of information.
