Cloze Reading — CEFR 4
Cloze reading is the familiar "read a passage, pick the word for the blank" question from the real CEFR reading section — unlike simple fill-in-the-blank, the blank sits inside a whole passage, so you have to read and understand the surrounding context to infer the best word. The blanked word is always a keyword from CEFR 4 reading content, never a random stitched-together sentence.
Sample question
Lạm phát ăn vào tiền lương
When prices rise faster than wages, real income falls. Workers may earn more on paper and still afford less.Economists call this the gap between ＿＿ and real pay.Households notice it first in food and fuel. Those two items take a large share of a low income. A rise in the minimum wage rarely keeps up. Central banks respond by raising interest rates. Borrowing becomes expensive, so people spend less. Lower demand is meant to bring prices back down. The cure, though, can be worse than the illness. Firms that cannot service their debt cut jobs or fold. Policy therefore aims at a soft landing rather than a sharp one. Getting the timing right is largely a matter of judgement.

FAQ
How do I figure out the missing word?
Read the whole surrounding passage (not just the sentence with the blank), then use the context to infer the word that fits best — the same inferential reading skill the real IELTS & TOEIC exam tests.
Is the blanked word an obscure or difficult one?
No — it's a keyword from the CEFR 4 passage's own glossary, meaning it's an important word for that content, not a rare character or something above your level.
