My Favourite Class
My favourite class is English. I like it because we read short stories and talk in pairs. Our teacher smiles a lot, so the room feels calm. I think homework is useful, but I do not like long tests. On Mondays we start with a song, and that makes me happy. I also enjoy drawing new words in my notebook every day. For me, English class is better than math class, because I can speak more and make fewer mistakes.

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.
