A School’s New Homework Club
At Greenway School, a new homework club opened in September. It runs on Monday and Wednesday from 3:15 to 4:30. Any student from Year 7 to Year 9 may come without signing up in advance. Ms. Patel, the deputy head, started it after teachers noticed that many pupils rushed through work on the bus or at the kitchen table. Some families are busy in the evening, and some students share one quiet space at home. The club gives them a place to ask questions before they go home. Students often arrive with a bag still on one shoulder, put their books on the table, and begin with the hardest task first. The club meets in the library on Mondays and in the art room on Wednesdays. Two teachers stay each afternoon, and older students from Year 10 help for one hour after their own lessons. They do not give answers straight away. Instead, they ask questions and point students back to notes or textbooks. If a student finishes early, there is a small shelf of novels and puzzle books to read. The school also lends calculators and coloured pens, because not everyone brings the right equipment. Some pupils use the time to check spelling, while others work slowly through a maths sheet. The room is busy, but it is usually calm enough for everyone to concentrate. After six weeks, the staff saw that fewer students were handing in unfinished work. Maya, a Year 8 pupil, said she used to wait until late evening to start maths, but now she completes it at school and feels calmer. Ms. Patel believes the club works best because it is regular and easy to reach, not because it is strict. She hopes to add a quiet computer area later, although that is only an idea for the future. For now, the club is already changing the end of the school day, and several students now stay long enough to finish one full piece of homework before they leave.

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.
