Mia works in a small animal shelter. Every morning she cleans the room and feeds the animals. In the upper left, the food shelf holds bags and cans for the pets. In the upper right, the water bowl stays near the door. In the lower left, the cat bed is soft and warm. In the lower right, the dog gate keeps the puppies safe. Mia likes the quiet room, but she does not like the smell after lunch.

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.
