CAE teachers,
Robin has spotted a problem with one of the reading tasks in Gold Advanced. Here are his notes:
Just had a go at doing the task in the coursebook, and found it very
difficult. This is because the answer to question 2 can be found at the end of
paragraph 4, whereas the answer to question 3 is at the end of paragraph 3 and
question 4 and the beginning of paragraph 3. I've never come across this
before.
My understanding of the task instructions (see p199) is that the questions
should follow the order of the text. I think this reading activity might be
another mistake on the part of the coursebook publishers.
I'd advise teachers to be wary of
just giving this text to the students as it might knock their confidence a bit.
If you do this reading in class, please warn your students that the questions should be in the following order (the order that the answers appear in the text):
Q1
Q3
Q4
Q2
Q5
Q6
