Question

Complete the sentences with the verbs in the boxes. Then make sentences from parts 1, 2 and 3 and join them together to make the introductions to four different presentations.

Answer

  1. take
  2. tell (tell is the only verb here that can be followed by you)
  3. talk
  4. summarise (+ noun, the main ways / the key points, etc.)
  5. giving
  6. reviewing (outlining is possible, but more common to review literature – means also you summarise and comment)
  7. commenting (the only verb followed by on)
  8. outlining (review is possible here, see above, but outline the trends is more likely – both outline and trend refer to a general overview)
  9. focus (the only verb followed by on)
  10. consider
  11. make
  12. highlight

The sentences that link together are:

  1. a, g, k
  2. b, e, i
  3. c, h, j
  4. d, f, l
