Notes for teachers
Use this test as a timed reading assessment or as a classroom activity, with each section done separately. Many distractors repeat words from the text but change the meaning, so they show which learners are matching words rather than reading for meaning. Questions on idioms such as «echar de menos» and «quedarse sin palabras» make good follow-up points. You could ask students to write Marta's reply to Lucía, or to retell the story from Irene's point of view.
