CAE Reading and Use of English Part 3

What's this part about?

Just like RUE Part 1 and 2, this is always a short text containing eight gaps. In Part 3, you have to fill in one word that is formed from the stem of the missing word. The stems are given beside

the text and must be changed to form the missing word. (p. 7)

*In this exercise the stems are given after each sentence, in capital letters.

Before we start:
