Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Starting info
Reading CE is NOT the same as Cambridge!
A wider variety of texts from a broad range of topics
Not as general as Cambridge
1 to 3 star texts
Vocabulary is what makes it difficult
The more you know about the topic within a text already, the better you do
→ Watch the news! Keep up with current events!

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Some additional info about the exam
+/- 40 questions
Range multiple choice, gapped text, true/false, open questions
2:30 hours time
Dictionary allowed (but be careful!)
Take your time
Don’t overestimate yourself

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Concrete tips to get in your system
Start off each text looking for the main problem/topic (use the title, any headings and pictures and the 1st question to help you)
Read the question first, then the text
Take your time
Don’t look up every word - use what you know
Beware of any obvious answers/too good to be true
Get in the habit of highlighting:
Linking words
Main problem
Important factors

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Going from Dutch/English and vice-versa 

Open questions: in Dutch
True/false: in Dutch
Best strategy?
If you’re going from English to Dutch, put the English in your OWN words first IN ENGLISH and then translate to Dutch
If you’re going from Dutch to English, reword in English in your own words and then go through the text - write down key words for yourself

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Gapped text

Lot of approaches but rule of thumb: stay close to the gap and look for linking words!
If at beginning or end of a paragraph: don’t forget about the line before/after!
HIGHLIGHT!

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Main thing to keep in mind

Can you find the answer from the question in the text both:
LITERALLY - the same concept/idea HAS to be in there. Example from Here to Stay - lineage vs. history
COMPLETELY - the WHOLE idea has to be in there. Lots of times they’ll give one obvious point with one that’s not in there - be careful! 
Double check this at all times!

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Do you have any questions regarding the central exam?

Slide 11 - Open vraag

For TOMORROW (homework)
Read texts 4 and 5 and answer the questions linked to these texts. Do not forget to do the questions on page 1 for both texts as well. 😉
You have until the end of the class to finish this!
