How to approach this practice
Read the passage for its main idea, then return to the relevant sentence or paragraph for each question. Base answers on the passage.
A Café I Enjoy
I enjoy the little café near my home. I go there on Saturday mornings with my sister. The room is bright, and the chairs are soft. I like the hot tea and the sweet bread. There are small cakes too. The waiter smiles and speaks slowly. We sit by the window and look at the park. I do not like loud music, so this café feels calm. I want to visit it again next week. It is close to the bus stop.

What to review next
Find the words that support each answer. For a mistake, compare the question with the evidence and identify the detail or inference you missed.
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
Look for evidence in the text. Separate what the writer says from what you already know about the topic.
The library normally closes at six, but on Fridays it stays open until eight. When does it close on Friday?
The answer is eight. But introduces an exception to the normal closing time, so the first time mentioned is not the answer.
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.
