 to give students practice in completing a gapped text.


Questions about the text :

 What kind of a text is this? (a diary: Part 7 often uses letters or diaries)
 How many questions do you have to answer? (5)
 What do you have to do? (write a word in each space)
 How many words do you write in each space? (one only)
 Are there some words to choose from? (No, pupils have to decide on the words by themselves)

Questions en Français :

De quel type de texte s’agit-il ? (un journal intime : la partie 7 utilise souvent des lettres ou des journaux intimes)
 Combien de questions devez-vous répondre ? (5)
 Que devez-vous faire ? (écrivez un mot dans chaque espace)
 Combien de mots écrivez-vous dans chaque espace ? (un seul)
 Y a-t-il des mots à choisir ? (Non, les élèves doivent choisir les mots eux-mêmes)

Answers to Part 6 :

1. We have been + To +infinitive (visit) +place (the Pyramids).
= to
2.The sentence mentions teacher and Geography. As Geography is quite specific, it cannot be school. ( La phrase mentionne teacher et Geography. La géographie étant très spécifique, il ne peut s’agir de l’école.)
 = class(es)/lesson(s)/studies
3. This is a comparative structure. After the comparative adjective smaller, we need to use than. (Il s’agit d’une structure comparative. Après l’adjectif comparatif smaller, nous devons utiliser than)
 = than
4.This is the collocation to take photos, but it is talking about the past (went inside). You can also use the collocation to get photos. (Il s’agit de la collocation to take photos, mais elle parle du passé (went inside). Vous pouvez également utiliser la collocation pour prendre des photos.)
= took/got
5. Here the writer is describing why he is excited so we need a conjunction which shows reason (because/as/since). You can also just use the coordinating conjunction and to join the two parts of the sentence together. (Ici, l’auteur décrit pourquoi il est excité, donc nous avons besoin d’une conjonction qui montre la raison (parce que/comme/parce que). Vous pouvez également utiliser la conjonction de coordination et pour relier les deux parties de la phrase.)
 = because/as/since/and
