Teacher divides the class into 2 groups “A”s and “B”s, hands out the texts with gabs to each group. Learners read the text quickly and find out what the topic of the text is. Students work in pairs and guess what missing words can be. Then the pars are reorganized and “A”s and “B”s  check each other.  “A” learner reads aloud and slowly the text to the partner from group “B”. When both  groups have finished reading aloud, the teacher regroup learners to check the words in gabs together with group mates. Then the text is checked in the class.
