A Reading Corner in Our Classroom

In our classroom, the upper left shelf has storybooks and comic books. The upper right lamp gives soft light for reading. The lower left chair is big and blue, so one child can sit there. The lower right basket holds pencils, paper, and bookmarks. We go to the reading corner after lunch. Mia likes it because it is quiet. Tom does not like loud rooms, so he reads there too. Everyone keeps the corner tidy.

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.
