Let us start right away with the first part of the Reading and Use of English paper.
In this task, you need to choose out of 4 options to fill every gap. So what skills do you need for this type of task?
- Knowledge of prepositional phrases
- Knowledge of collocations
- Good vocabulary in all kinds of topics
STRATEGIE
- Pročtěte si celý článek rychle.
- Zatímco čtete, poznamenávejte si do mezer slova, která vás napadnou. Zatím se nedívejte na možnosti a ani nad ničím nekoumejte. Prostě text prolítněte.
- Přečtěte si text znovu. Tentokrát jděte pomaleji a vybírejte slova z nabídky. Nezapomeňte VŽDY dočíst celou větu i po mezeře!
- Všímejte si členů, předložek a gramatických slov, obzvláště těch za mezerou, protože vám napoví, které slovo vybrat.Například: There were a _____ of people.
A) many B) lots C) plenty D) lot Správná odpověď je D, protože many se nepojí ani se členem ani s of, lots před sebou nemůže mít člen, protože je to slovo v množném čísle a plenty před sebou nemá člen. - Je dobrý nápad si při papírové zkoušce vzít kousek papíru a vždy se dívat na nabídku pouze pro jednu mezeru. Nebudete tak rozptylovat svou pozornost.
- Pak si text přečtěte znovu, abyste věděli, že dává smysl.
- Důvěřujte svému instinktu a slova, která vás napadla jako první neměňte, pokud si nejste 100% jistí.

Multiple Choice Test 1
The Selfish Giant – Part 1
Written by Oscar Wild
It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. (1)
over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars, and there were twelve peach-trees (2)
in the spring-time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the children used to stop their games (3)
to listen to them. “How happy we are here!” they cried to each other. One day the Giant came back. He (4)
to visit his friend the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him (5)
seven years. After the seven years were over he had said all that he had to say, for his conversation was limited, and he determined to return to his own castle. When he arrived he saw the children playing in the garden.
“What are you doing here?” he cried in a very gruff voice, and the children ran away. “My own garden is my own garden,” said the Giant; “anyone can understand that, and I will (6)
nobody to play in it but myself.” So he built a high wall all around it, and (7)
a notice-board.
TRESPASSERS WILL BE PROSECUTED
He was a very selfish Giant. The poor children had now nowhere to play. They tried (8) on the road, but the road was very dusty and full of hard stones, and they did not like it. They used to wander around the high wall when their lessons were over, and talk about the beautiful garden inside. “How happy we were there,” they said to each other.
Then the Spring came, and all over the country there were little blossoms and little birds. Only in the garden of the Selfish Giant it was still winter. The birds did not (9) sing in it as there were no children, and the trees forgot to blossom. Once a beautiful flower put its head out from the grass, but when it saw the notice-board it was so sorry for the children that it slipped back into the ground again, and went (10) to sleep. The only people who were pleased were the Snow and the Frost. “Spring has forgotten this garden,” they cried, “so we will live here all the year round.” The Snow covered up the grass with her great white cloak, and the Frost painted all the trees silver. Then they invited the North Wind to stay with them, and he came. He was wrapped in furs, and he roared all day about the garden, and blew the chimney-pots down. “This is a (11) spot,” he said, “we must ask the Hail on a visit.” So the Hail came. Every day for three hours he (12) on the roof of the castle till he broke most of the slates, and then he ran round and round the garden as fast as he could go. He was dressed in grey, and his breath was like ice.

The Selfish Giant – Part 2
Written by Oscar Wild
“I cannot understand why the Spring is so late (1) ,” said the Selfish Giant, as he sat at the window and looked out at his cold white garden; “I hope there will be a change in the weather.” But the Spring never came, (2) the Summer. The Autumn gave golden fruit to every garden, but to the Giant’s garden she gave none. “He is too selfish,” she said. So it was always Winter there, and the North Wind, and the Hail, and the Frost, and the Snow danced about through the trees. One morning the Giant was (3) awake in bed when he heard some lovely music. It sounded so sweet to his ears that he thought it must be the King’s musicians (4) . It was really only a little linnet singing outside his window, but it was so long since he had heard a bird sing in his garden that it seemed to him to be the most beautiful music in the world. Then the Hail stopped dancing over his head, and the North Wind ceased roaring, and a delicious perfume came to him through the open casement. “I believe the Spring has come at last,” said the Giant; and he jumped out of bed and looked out.
What did he see?
He saw a most wonderful (5) . Through a little hole in the wall the children had crept in, and they were sitting in the branches of the trees. In every tree that he could see there was a little child. And the trees were so glad to have the children back again that they had covered themselves with blossoms, and were waving their arms gently above the children’s heads. The birds were flying about and twittering with (6) , and the flowers were looking up through the green grass and laughing. It was a lovely scene, only in one corner it was still winter. It was the (7) corner of the garden, and in it was standing a little boy. He was so small that he could not reach up to the branches of the tree, and he was wandering all round it, crying bitterly. The poor tree was still quite covered (8) frost and snow, and the North Wind was blowing and roaring above it. “Climb up! little boy,” said the Tree, and it bent its branches down as low as it could; but the boy was too tiny.
And the Giant’s heart melted as he looked out. “How selfish I have been!” he said; “now I know why the Spring would not come here. I will put that poor little boy on the top of the tree, and then I will knock down the wall, and my garden shall be the children’s playground for ever and ever.” He was really very sorry for what he (9) .
