21 November 2008: Cambridge Exam Practice - FCE

Only one month to the winter solstice, which is the shortest day of the year here in the northern hemisphere. The Christmas lights are on in Chester and it looks very pretty, the shops are busy, in spite of the credit crunch and it is quite cold. Apparently we are going to have snow this week end so everyone is wearing woolly hats and scarves. If you don't like the cold weather the good news is that it is only six months till mid-summer.

Lots of people are doing the Cambridge exams next month so I thought we might have a quick look at some exercises for each of the main exams. Here's a FCE Word building exercise.

Exercise
Use the word in capital letters to form a word that fits the gap.
I think it is an    well designed car, which is why I bought it. EXTREME
I'm sorry that I didn't do as you asked. The instructions were a little    so I wasn't sure what to do. CLEAR
It is becoming    difficult for builders to obtain planning permission on which to build houses. INCREASE
The passengers all complained about the    they suffered at the airport when their flight was delayed for five hours. COMFORT
I missed my    at Crewe station and had to wait another hour to catch the train to Chester. CONNECT
   the football match had to be postponed due to the bad weather. FORTUNE
The shops were so    with people that it was impossible to find what you wanted. CROWD
The buses are so    that it is honestly much quicker to walk. FREQUENT
You need a great deal of expensive    if you want to do serious mountain climbing. EQUIP
The    of the weather with biting winds and below zero temperatures took him by surprise. SEVERE

Good luck with your exams if you are doing one this December.
Love from everyone at English in Chester!
