C1 Advanced Open Cloze – ziewanie i czasowniki posiłkowe
Słowa posiłkowe (do, does, is, have) często zastępują w tekście cały fragment zdania. Przykłady:
- more in winter than they do in summer – do zastępuje yawn,
- and neither/nor do people with… – przeczenie z inwersją,
- not just/only a sign of – nie tylko oznaka.
Jak rozwiązywać?
Zanim zaczniesz wpisywać, przeczytaj cały tekst – część luk da się uzupełnić dopiero po zrozumieniu kolejnego zdania. Po błędnej odpowiedzi zobaczysz wskazówkę z regułą, a potem możesz podejrzeć klucz. Pisz poprawnie ortograficznie – w egzaminie Cambridge C1 Advanced literówka oznacza utratę punktu.

People certainly seem to yawn more in winter (4) they do in summer. Yawning is also famously contagious: just reading about it may make you (5) the same. Interestingly, we are more likely to catch a yawn from people we are close to (6) from strangers.
Young children under the age of four rarely catch yawns, and (7) do people with certain medical conditions. (8) this suggests is that contagious yawning may be linked to empathy. There is still much to learn, but one thing is clear: yawning is not just a sign of boredom.
