Cloze refers to the 'reading closure'
practice required when readers must fill blanks left in text, using
whatever knowledge and experience they have (Teach On by David Hornsby.)
The teacher uses the cloze procedure to model a variety of problem-solving reading strategies.
Tips :
Go through the whole passage once so as to get a rough idea about the content and spirit of the passage. Most of the passage will have logically related sentences. They will give you an idea about the
appropriate word for the blank space: if you can spot the answer, immediately make it. Otherwise, eliminate the improbable options one by one and come to the right answer. Constant practice will help you to answer cloze test quickly and accurately. Regular reading and interaction with English always helps students score full marks here. Try to do them at maximum speed. As you go on doing one passage after another, make sure that you take less time but score more marks.
