How to approach this practice

Read the questions, then listen before opening the transcript. Notice names, numbers and any corrections the speaker makes.

1. Question 1 · Single choice

   Choose one answer.

   What does the title directly associate with wellness travel?

   Return to the passage, recording or visual
   1. A confirmed treatment outcome
   2. A tip about a wellness experience
   3. A detailed European itinerary
   4. A photograph of a retreat
   Check answers and explanations

   Answer

   A tip about a wellness experience

   The title frames the subject as sharing a tip within a broad regional scope.

   The headline establishes the item’s broad subject: a tip associated with wellness travel across the geographical scope named in the title.

2. Question 2 · Single choice

   Choose one answer.

   Which specific categories of practical information are absent?

   Return to the passage, recording or visual
   1. Price, itinerary, booking guidance, date, duration, and evaluation
   2. Headline, publisher, photographer, country, and publication time
   3. Treatment, accommodation, facility, service, and recommendation
   4. Traveler, contributor, publication, source, and destination
   Check answers and explanations

   Answer

   Price, itinerary, booking guidance, date, duration, and evaluation

   The narration explicitly lists cost, scheduling, booking, duration, and evaluation omissions.

   No price, itinerary, booking guidance, travel date, duration, or evaluation of the experience is provided.

3. Question 3 · Single choice

   Choose one answer.

   What does the package fail to establish about the image?

   Return to the passage, recording or visual
   1. Whether it was credited to May Graham
   2. Whether it depicts a wellness experience
   3. Whether attribution was requested
   4. Whether it accompanies the package
   Check answers and explanations

   Answer

   Whether it depicts a wellness experience

   It does not establish that the photograph documents the experience in question.

   It does not describe the image, identify any people or place shown, or establish that the photograph documents the wellness experience mentioned in the headline.

4. Question 4 · Single choice

   Choose one answer.

   What is the significance of the stated publication time?

   Return to the passage, recording or visual
   1. It dates the traveler’s stay precisely
   2. It records when the item entered the source record
   3. It proves the recommendation was current
   4. It identifies when the photograph was taken
   Check answers and explanations

   Answer

   It records when the item entered the source record

   The time marks entry into the source record, not the timing of a visit.

   The source is listed under The Guardian’s travel coverage and was published on September 21, 2026, at 13:45:52 UTC.

5. Question 5 · Single choice

   Choose one answer.

   Why is a fuller account deliberately withheld?

   Return to the passage, recording or visual
   1. The feature is too old to interpret
   2. The destination is commercially confidential
   3. The evidence cannot support those details
   4. The photograph contradicts the headline
   Check answers and explanations

   Answer

   The evidence cannot support those details

   The supplied information cannot justify detailed claims without risking fabrication.

   Supplying such details would go beyond the information attached to the source and could create an unsupported account of the feature.

6. Question 6 · Single choice

   Choose one answer.

   Who receives the requested photographic attribution?

   Return to the passage, recording or visual
   1. The Guardian travel desk
   2. May Graham under @photo_art_may
   3. An unnamed publication contributor
   4. The wellness facility’s management
   Check answers and explanations

   Answer

   May Graham under @photo_art_may

   The final image-related paragraph names both the photographer and handle.

   The package records the accompanying photograph credit as May Graham and requests attribution to @photo_art_may.

7. Question 7 · Single choice

   Choose one answer.

   What conclusion does the account reach about the material?

   Return to the passage, recording or visual
   1. It is expansive but weakly sourced
   2. It is limited yet precise
   3. It is speculative but practically useful
   4. It is incomplete because the photograph is missing
   Check answers and explanations

   Answer

   It is limited yet precise

   It characterizes the record as narrow in scope but exact in its claims.

   The confirmed account is consequently limited but precise: The Guardian’s travel item concerns sharing a tip about a wellness experience within the broad UK-and-Europe scope named in its title.

8. Question 8 · Single choice

   Choose one answer.

   Which distinction does the narration emphasize about the title’s regional wording?

   Return to the passage, recording or visual
   1. It identifies two specific travel markets
   2. It establishes only a broad geographical scope
   3. It contrasts British and continental treatments
   4. It confirms the photograph’s location
   Check answers and explanations

   Answer

   It establishes only a broad geographical scope

   The wording supplies broad scope but no precise geographical identification.

   Although the title mentions the UK and Europe, that wording is the full extent of the location information supplied.

What to review next

Listen again to difficult sections, then open the transcript to check what you heard. Repeat a useful phrase aloud and try the recording once more without the text.

A focused practice result shows how you did on these tasks. Use several activities across skills to decide what to study next; one practice score does not certify an overall CEFR level.

Before you practise: a worked example

Listen for the final information, especially when a speaker corrects or changes an earlier statement.

Example transcript: “Let’s meet at five — actually, half past five would be better.” What is the final suggested time?

The final suggested time is 5:30. Actually signals a correction; the first time is replaced by the later suggestion.

This teaching example is separate from the scored questions. After your test, compare any mistakes with the explanation and revisit the topic before trying again.
