Part 6: complete connected texts

Text-completion tasks place gaps within connected workplace writing such as emails, notices or articles. A choice may depend on a sentence before or after the gap, not only the local grammar. Identify the document’s purpose and participants before answering. A reminder, apology and invitation create different expectations for tone and content.

Read the whole short text once to understand its direction. Then inspect each gap for grammar, vocabulary and cohesion. A pronoun may refer to an earlier noun; a tense may depend on an event described in the opening. After filling the gaps, reread the document to ensure it still makes sense as a communication. During review, name the wider clue that controlled an answer. This prevents a habit of treating every blank as an isolated Part 5 sentence and helps you understand how workplace texts develop a message across several sentences.

A sentence-insertion gap requires more than matching a topic word. The inserted sentence must connect what comes before with what comes after. Check pronouns, chronology, cause and effect, and the document’s purpose. A sentence that introduces a new unrelated idea can break an otherwise coherent email, even if it is grammatically correct.

Read the preceding sentence, each candidate and the following sentence as a three-part sequence. Ask whether references are clear and whether the second connection is as strong as the first. If the next sentence begins “For this reason”, the inserted sentence should supply a reason. If it begins “These items”, the relevant items need to have been introduced. In review, explain both sides of the connection. This method is useful in real writing too: every new sentence should help the reader move through the message rather than force them to guess how ideas relate.

Workplace texts use language appropriate to their audience and purpose. A public notice is concise and neutral, while an internal email may be more conversational. A complaint response should acknowledge the issue and explain action clearly. Register is not simply a choice between long and short words; it includes politeness, directness and the relationship between writer and reader.

When reviewing a completed text, check names, dates, products and responsibilities for consistency. A document that changes from Friday to Thursday without explanation may contain a wrong choice. Check whether a connector points in the correct direction and whether a pronoun refers clearly to the intended item. Do not select a very formal phrase merely because it looks impressive. The best answer is the one that fulfils the communication naturally and preserves the logic of the whole text. Record the reason for a correction so that the lesson can transfer to the next unfamiliar document.
