Summary completion
A condensed version of part of the passage with gaps. Answers come from a box or from the text.
Lesson
- Skim the summary to see which paragraph it covers. Summaries usually follow passage order.
- Check grammar in the gap: an article needs a noun; “by” often needs an -ing form.
- If there is a word list, cross off used words. If not, copy the word from the passage exactly.
- A word that fits grammatically but comes from the wrong paragraph is still wrong.
Bees locate flowers using colour, scent, and the pattern of ultraviolet light that petals reflect. Researchers found that scent was the most reliable cue in dense woodland, where colour contrasts are weaker.
