Part 4: Key word transformations

What is it?                                                A sentence followed by a key word and a second sentence which has a gap in it. Students have to use the key word to complete the second sentence so that it is similar in meaning to the first sentence.

What do you have to practise?             Grammar and vocabulary – rewriting sentences with different words so that they mean the same thing.

Part 4: Key word transformations

How to act? 

Step 3: fill in the missing words. Remember! You have to use 2 - 5 words. Less or more will cost you points. Collocations like 'don't' or 'I'm' will count as two words. You have to use the word 'idea'. 

What does it mean when you are 'in favour of something'? It means that you would prefer to do something, or that you think it is a good idea to do something. 

Use that to form your sentence: 

Joan thought it would be a good idea to go to the museum.
