Paper 1 Part 4 Key word transformations

In this part of the Reading and Use of English paper you are tested on both grammar
and vocabulary. There are six questions and an example at the beginning.
You can get up to two marks for each question.
1 Read the Part 4 exam instructions below and then look at the example (0).

Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word
given . Do not change the word given. You must use between two and five words, including the word
given. Here is an example (0).
0 Have you got a belt that is cheaper than this one? (---- first sentence
LESS (---- key word - this never changes
Have you got ............................................................................................................... than this one?
The second sentence must mean the same as the first when it is complete.
The gap can be filled by the words 'a less expensive belt', so you write:

Example: I A LESS EXPENSIVE BELT


1 mark + 1 mark
Write only the missing words IN CAPITAL LETTERS on the separate answer sheet.

2 Think about what is important in this exam task. What advice would you
give another student about answering Part 4 in the exam?

3 Now read the advice given in the bullet points.

• Read the first sentence carefully.


• Think about how the key word given is commonly used.
• Complete the gap with a possible answer. You can use the question paper for
rough answers.
• Count the number of words you have used in the gap. You must use not fewer
than two and not more than five, including the word in bold. Note that a
contracted form such as 'don't ' counts as two words.
• Read the completed second sentence to check it means the same as the first.
• Ask yourself whether the words in the gap fit the sentence grammatically.
• Transfer your answer (just the words in the gap) to the answer sheet.
