Use this test as a 30-minute reading check or as homework after work on everyday texts. Each section starts with a gist question and ends with vocabulary or inference questions. Distractors often repeat words from the text with the wrong meaning, for example the information desk during the closure or the colleague's bike, so they reward careful reading over word-matching. For follow-up, ask learners to write a short reply to Lena's email or to retell Daniel's story in the present tense.
