What the Visitor Pass Includes

River City Visitor Pass guide The Visitor Pass is valid for three days. It lets you use city buses and the blue tram for free. You can also take river-boat rides at half price. The pass includes entry to the art museum and the old tower. At the museum desk, show your pass. Write your name on the back, keep the pass dry, and carry a photo ID with it. The pass does not cover the airport train or food in cafés, so plan to pay separately for these. Mia found the pass useful because it made her first day easier. She did not need to buy many tickets and could move around quickly. It is a good choice for a short trip, but it is not suitable for a week-long holiday. Keep the pass with your ticket and map so you are ready to travel around the city.

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.
