Part 3: Questions 76 – 85 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the text and fill in one word which best fits each gap.
 SAFE CAMPING
 Camping in the country is usually great fun, but sometimes things can go wrong. Accidents 
can happen, so it is essential to think about safety both before you go (76) and while you are 
there. This will prevent your fun camping trip turning (77) into something less pleasant. 
 Firstly, you need to plan ahead. Check out the weather (78) forecast a few days in advance 
and watch out for any reports of fires in the area you are thinking of going to. Bring an emergency 
kit in (79) case you or anyone with you has an accident or illness while you are there. 
 Choose your camp (80) site carefully, avoiding any places where there is risk of flooding 
before you put up your tent, make (81) sure there are no sharp objects on the ground, or ants’ or 
wasps’ nests nearby. 
 In order to keep insects out of the tent, close it whenever you go in or out. If you need a 
camp (82) fire for cooking, be careful not to build it anywhere near your tent, and before you go 
to bed, remember to put it (83) out completely, preferably with lots of water. 
 After meals, pick up any bits of food that may (84) be left on the ground, as these can attract 
insects – or larger creatures. It also makes senses, for the same reason, to keep unused food in closed 
containers away from the camp. You don’t want a hungry bear or another (85) animal suddenly 
appearing in your tent!
