[c] The vicious bird used his powerful wings to attack hundreds of rowers and canoeists on the River Chelmer in Chelmsford, Essex, his home for the past two decades. The swan would patrol the busy river terrorising users on a daily basis, by flapping his wings or pecking holes in boats. 

[b] The swan’s violent behaviour had become even worse over the past year, however, and in March it attacked a 13-year-old girl. The teenager almost drowned after the ferocious swan capsized her canoe using its long wings. The incident forced the local canoe club to seek expert help to stop attacks by the bird, which enjoys protection from the Queen.

[a] The club approached the Queen’s Swan Marker for permission to remove ‘Hissing Sid’, his mate and his six young from the area. The application was approved but the club had to wait until the angry swan’s cygnets grew, before they could move the family. Six canoeists then formed a barrier across the river to round up the birds. The swans were placed in special bags and driven to the isolated Gallows Hill Quarry, where they have been living in peace ever since.

Welk signaal woord in de tekst geeft een tegenstelling aan?

Kies bij 6 in de tekst het juiste antwoord uit de gegeven

mogelijkheden.

A As a result (conclusie)

B In the meantime (volgorde)

C Nevertheless (tegenstelling)

D On top of that (uitbreiding/opsomming )

Stappenplan: Signaal-/functiewoorden

- Lees de zin voor de gap (eventueel iets meer dan 1 zin). Lees ook de zin na de gap.

- Probeer te zien welk tekstverband er tussen deze twee zinnen zit. 

- Zoek daar je antwoord op uit.

- Werkt dit niet, kijk dan naar de antwoorden : Zit er een antwoord voor voorbeeld bij? Grote kans dat dat het juiste antwoord is. Anders mogelijk tegenstelling of opssomming.

- Werkt dit ook niet, vertaal de zinnetjes dan en kijk of een van de antwoordopties logisch klinkt.

Voorbeeld

Antwoorden: A But then

                            B Instead

                            C Similarly

                            D Therefore 

Ik lees voor de gap een voorbeeld van hoe beroemd Mr. Bean is. Hij wordt herkend in Frankrijk. Na de gap lees ik dat Mr. Bean herkend wordt door Chinezen. Het lijkt dus op een uitbreiding/opsomming.

Omdat ik mijn signaalwoorden heb geleerd weet ik nu dat het antwoord C moet zijn.

conclusie? volgorde? tegenstelling? opsomming?

 The cellulose nitrate film on which they were produced was often melted down for its silver content. 6 , they were dangerous to store as the nitrate was very easily flammable. It is remarkable that Hitchcock’s silent films have survived – only his second film.

D (on the top of that) 

opsomming

In een tekstdeel staan bijvoorbeeld de kenmerken van iets of iemand genoemd. Je krijgt dan dus een opsomming van kenmerken. Je spreekt pas van een opsomming als er meer dan twee elementen zijn.

10. What point is made in paragraph 2?

A. Linda hardly ever sees her relatives now she is an aid worker.

B .Linda has lost all her belongings after a nasty divorce.

C. Linda is happy with the way in which her life has changed.

D. Linda started a new job when her children were old enough.

Op het examen wordt vaak gevraagd naar de hoofdgedachte van een tekst.

De hoofdgedachte is dus het allerbelangrijkste waar de tekst over gaat.

Om die hoofdgedachte te vinden kun je kijken naar de titel en naar de eerste en laatste zin van de alinea (daar staat vaak belangrijke informatie in). Ook kun je jezelf afvragen "waar gaat de tekst over?" en "wat wil de auteur zeggen met deze tekst?" 

Let op!!!

Linda became a single parent in her late 20s. She once shared a family home in Bristol with her children, Gail, 31, and

Graham, 29, but now Linda owns nothing but a battered blue suitcase and a few personal possessions. Yet what she lacks in material goods she makes up for in conviction. “I have absolutely no regrets,” she says.

10. What point is made in paragraph 2?

A. Linda hardly ever sees her relatives now she is an aid worker.

B .Linda has lost all her belongings after a nasty divorce.

C. Linda is happy with the way in which her life has changed.

D. Linda started a new job when her children were old enough.

What can be concluded from paragraph 4?

A Linda actively approached international celebrities to get more media attention.

B Linda and her daughter have worked on commercial projects all over the world.

C Linda is good at persuading companies to support organisations for people in need.

D Linda only works for projects in countries that have reliable political

leaders. 

The answer is C 

When her daughter went on a gap year to work on an aid project in rural China, Linda went to visit and wanted to get involved. A year later, when Linda was 40, she got in touch with a charity called Project Trust. She was sent to southern China as a volunteer teacher. Before long she

gained a reputation for creating strong links between big businesses and small local charities. After China she moved on to projects in Nepal and Tibet where she was granted a private audience with the Dalai Lama. Later, Prince Charles visited a project for Tibetan refugees that she had pioneered.
