About this practice test
Practise A1 English integrated skills: read and speak about a Library Message for Alex.
What you’ll practice
Understand the sources
Find the details, ideas and viewpoints needed for your response.
Choose your approach
Use guided checks or practise a timed response.
Communicate accurately
Write or speak using relevant information from every source.
What to expect:
Read or listen to the connected sources, then use their information in one spoken response. Guided practice includes preparation checks with explanations and no overall timer. Timed response skips those checks and starts a 5-minute timer when you finish studying the sources.
Record your response for up to 30 seconds.
Review source guidance and a sample response after submission. Practising is free; personalised feedback is available after sign-in for 25 coins.

Question 1 · Speaking response
Answer aloud in your own words. Develop your ideas with a reason or example.
Your friend Alex wants to visit the library on Monday. Read the notice, then leave Alex a short spoken message. Say when the library is closed, when it opens and what to bring.
Check answers and explanations
Use the required source information accurately; the sample response shows one possible answer.
What to review next
Review the feedback and revisit the topics you found difficult before trying again.
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.
