🟣 English Lab | Part 2 Tip – Reference Words
💡 Sometimes in Part 2, the missing word is not grammar or a linker. It’s a reference word — small but powerful words like it, they, one, those, this, or that.
Cambridge loves testing whether you can follow what a sentence is referring to.

These words keep your text connected and natural.Look at this example 👇
My parents bought a new car, but I prefer the old ___.
âś… Correct answer: one
Why? Because “one” avoids repetition (the old car) and keeps the sentence smooth.
Another example:
I didn’t like the first option, but the second ___ seemed better.
âś… one again.
💡 Pro tip: If a sentence repeats a word awkwardly, the missing word might be a reference word like one, those, it, them.They glue sentences together — and that’s exactly what Part 2 checks.
👉 Challenge: Write your own example using one or those in the comments. I’ll pick a few and show how to make them sound more natural.
