Reconstructing the cut-off text
The right edge of a newspaper column has been cut off. You fill in 20 gaps with at most three letters each.
Worth 5 of the 20 points in Lesen. To pass, you need at least 7 there and 42 of 70 in the written exam.
You recognise the three gap types in the cut-off column and check every answer against the next line and the whole sentence.

What Task 3 looks like
A short newspaper article, about 140 words, set as a narrow column. A strip has been cut off on the right. Something is missing at the end of every line: 20 gaps, each with three letters at most. A punctuation mark at the edge does not count.
The whole task is worth 5 of the 20 Lesen points, the same as every other Lesen task. Our advice: 20 minutes at most.
