This part of the Reading tests your ability to identify additional or unnecessary
words in a text. Most lines contain one extra word which is incorrect.
Read the whole text quickly to find out what it is about. As you read, try to identify
the words that are incorrect. Make sure you consider whole sentences, and not
each line separately.
Then read the text again, and write down the extra words.
Remember there will be only one extra word in a line, and some lines are correct.

Read the article about organising events.
In most of the lines 34-45 there is one extra word. It is either grammatically
incorrect or does not fit in with the meaning of the text. Some lines, however, are
correct.
If a line is correct, write CORRECT.
If there is an extra word in the line, write the extra word in CAPITAL LETTERS.
The exercise begins with two examples, (0) and (00).
First task of all, you need to be sure that an event is really the best way to get your
message across to customers. Maybe advertising or direct mail would be more
effective instead. While an event involves persuading key people to attend,
and can take out a great deal of time and money, so you should think very
carefully before choosing that method. If you go for an event, see how soon
others do it, and adapt from their ideas to suit your own circumstances. You’ll
need to produce an event strategy and checklist, and then keep on to it. Make
sure your key players agree to look an outline strategy at the start. The smallest
things can let you go down, with potentially serious results. This means you
should have plans in place in which case speakers arrive late, contractors are
unreliable or equipment fails. Keep everyone involved informed of how plans
are progressing, to avoid a lack of information is leading to confusion and
uncertainty. Form a team and delegate responsibilities. Afterwards, thank to
everybody. This is very important: after all, you could well need them again
next time.
