{{B}}How to approach Reading Test Part Five{{/B}}
· This part of the Reading
Test tests your ability to identify additional or unnecessary words in a text.
Most lines contain one extra word which is incorrect.
· Read the whole text
quickly to find out what it is about. As you read, try to identify the words
that are incorrect. Make sure you consider whole sentences, and not each line
separate1).
· Then read the text again, and write down the extra words.
·
Remember there will be only one extra word in a line, and some lines are
correct.
· Read the text on the opposite page about running meetings.
· In
most of the lines 34 - 45 there is one extra word. It is either grammatically
incorrect or does not fit in with the meaning of the text. Some lines, however,
are correct.
· If a line is correct, write CORRECT on your Answer Sheet.
·
If there is an extra word in the line, write the extra word in CAPITAL LETTERS
on your Answer Sheet.
· The exercise begins with two examples, (0) and
(00).
{{B}}MAKE SURE YOUR MEETINGS RUN
SMOOTHLY{{/B}}
A well run meeting can achieve much, but a badly run
meeting is unlikely
to achieve anything, and indeed may damage on an
important project's
34 progress. Meetings should create a sense of the
harmony, but they can
35 cause confusion. In normal circumstances, so
meetings should be planned
36 well in advance, both in terms of who
will attend it and what will be discussed.
37 Overcrowded meetings
suggest managers lack their self-confidence and
38 mean there will be
too much of discussion on every minor point. The only
39 points that
should be discussed are those that require a decision. If you need
40
your staff to update you on something, ask them to send information
you
41 can read in your own time. Before a meeting starts, establish
for the finishing
42 time, and stick to it. If you let one only meeting
run over, then all your meetings
43 will. Make sure the purpose of the
meeting is clear there to all concerned, so
44 that everyone stays as
focused. Coffee breaks should be regular, and taken
45 away from the
table, to maintain energy and concentration at optimum levels.
