To start, read the text quickly to understand the main/general idea.
Carefully read the words before and after the gap. Highlight or underline any “clues” like verbs, nouns, adjectives, parts of expressions, etc. These words will help you determine WHAT KIND of word is missing. (Parsing strategy)
After that, WRITE ONE WORD in the gap. Don’t use a contraction (won’t, can’t, he’s, only can't is allowed).
Then, repeat steps 2 and 3 with the next gap.
When you have finished, reread the whole text to see if it makes sense. Also, check your spelling!

Break down a sentence or a string of words into its components, such as subject, verb, object, phrases, and other parts of speech.

Using this strategy in Part 2 of the FCE Reading and Use of English section is helpful because it allows you to identify the correct part of speech needed for the gap, and understand the grammatical context.
