What it is: A sentence restates part of the text. You copy the exact words from the text that complete it.
The instruction on the paper: Encuentra las palabras que completen las siguientes oraciones. Utiliza las palabras tal como aparecen en el texto. → Find the words that complete the sentences. Use the words exactly as they appear in the text.
Un mar de plástico: Cada año llegan al Mediterráneo unas 230 000 toneladas de plástico, según un informe reciente. Gran parte procede de las ciudades costeras y de los ríos que desembocan en él. Los científicos advierten que los microplásticos ya forman parte de la cadena alimentaria: los ingieren los peces y, a través de ellos, también los humanos. Para frenar el problema, proponen mejorar el reciclaje y prohibir los envases de un solo uso.

Example: complete the sentence

Aprender a fracasar: En una escuela de negocios de Barcelona, los alumnos deben presentar, además de sus éxitos, el mayor fracaso de su carrera. La profesora que ideó la actividad explica que el miedo a equivocarse paraliza a muchos jóvenes con talento. Según ella, quien ha fracasado y lo ha analizado toma mejores decisiones que quien nunca ha arriesgado. Al principio, los estudiantes se resistían; hoy, muchos aseguran que fue la clase más útil del máster.

Example: two sentences

The question

  1. Encuentra las palabras que completen las siguientes oraciones. Utiliza las palabras tal como aparecen en el texto. 1. Muchos jóvenes con talento no avanzan por… 2. Toma mejores decisiones quien ha fracasado y…
