Give students about 20 minutes and ask them to read the whole text before answering. The questions target common A1 problems: mixing up time expressions (seit zwei Wochen vs. Jahren), misreading opening times, and overlooking negatives such as geschlossen and nicht erlaubt. As a follow-up, students can write a short reply to Lena's email or design a notice with opening times for their school or a local shop.
