Notes for teachers
Use the test after a unit on work and education, or as a diagnostic before one. It targets common B1 errors such as false friends (librería/biblioteca, atender/asistir), wrong verb–noun collocations (hacer/tomar apuntes, pasar/aprobar un examen) and confusion within word families. As a follow-up, ask students to write a short text about their own studies or job using at least ten collocations from Part 2.
