Rooms and Their Uses
Paragraph 1My home has a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a living room. In the morning, Mum makes breakfast in the kitchen. My brother sleeps in the bedroom, and I wash in the bathroom. After school, I do my homework at the table in the living room. In the evening, we sit there and talk together. I like the living room best because it is warm and bright. We do not use the small attic much, and I do not like going there alone.

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.
