Language in use II You are going to read a text about characters in British sitcoms. Some words are missing from the text. Use the words in brackets to form a word that fits in the gaps (1–12). Write your answers in the spaces provided at the end of the text. The first one (0) has been done for you. 19 TIP Proceed as follows: • Carefully read through the text. • For each gap, first decide what type of word (verb, noun, adjective or adverb) is required. Only then make the necessary change in the stem word. • Note that in some cases the word required also has to negate the meaning of the stem word (for instance, nature > unnatural) • Fill the gap with the new word and check whether the resulting text makes sense. • Write the word you have formed in the space provided at the end of the text, paying attention to its correct spelling.
