Using a cloze text in the classroom can stimulate students' interest in exploring new topics while enhancing their reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. This particular text covers various aspects of Cuban life, from its rich musical heritage and cuisine to its political history and economic situation. It offers an engaging way to introduce students to the complexities of a country's identity and the interplay of historical, cultural, and economic factors.
