In the town square, the café is in the upper left. People buy tea and bread there, and they rest at the small tables. The bookshop is in the upper right. You can find maps and postcards there. The bus stop is in the lower left. Travelers wait there for the blue bus each afternoon. The fountain is in the lower right. Children like to sit near it and watch the water. The square is small, but it is busy and friendly.

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.
