Study app · Progress
Reading · Progress without a finished product (texto original de práctica)
Maya and Idris have been developing a study app since September. They have completed the login page and three quiz screens, but they have not released the app yet. During the last two weeks, they have been testing the questions with five classmates.
The testers have already found several confusing instructions. Maya has rewritten those instructions, and Idris has fixed two problems with the timer. Yesterday they showed the updated version to their teacher. The teacher liked the improvements but asked them to test the app on smaller screens before release. They are pleased with their progress, although they know that a few working screens do not make a finished product. Their next priority is checking the mobile layout, not adding more questions.
Which part of the app is already complete?
- The login page and three quiz screens.
Correcta: Se afirma literalmente “have completed the login page and three quiz screens”.
- Every screen on every type of device.
Queda comprobar las pantallas pequeñas; no está terminado todo.
- The public release.
“Have not released the app yet” niega que ya esté publicada.
- All the new questions requested by the teacher.
El profesor pide pruebas en pantallas pequeñas, no nuevas preguntas.

Dani · First change
Reading · A gradual change (texto original de práctica)
For years, Dani arrived home exhausted and spent the evening looking at a screen. Last month, he decided to make one small change: he put his phone in a drawer during dinner. Since then, he has been spending more time talking to his family.
He has also started taking short walks after work. He has gone for eight walks so far this month, but he has not set a daily target. Some evenings he feels too tired, and he accepts that missing one walk does not mean the whole plan has failed. He has known his neighbour Rosa for years, and she sometimes joins him. Dani says his sleep has improved. He does not claim that every problem has disappeared; he simply feels more rested and less rushed.
What was the first change Dani made?
- He started walking every day without exception.
No ha fijado una meta diaria y admite días sin paseo.
- He moved to another neighbourhood.
No se menciona mudanza.
- He stopped having dinner with his family.
Desde el cambio pasa más tiempo hablando con la familia.
- He kept his phone away during dinner.
Correcta: El cambio de last month es dejar el teléfono en un cajón durante la cena.

Workshop · Main aim
Reading · Learning to repair (texto original de práctica)
The community library has offered a repair workshop for six months. A volunteer named Eva has been teaching visitors to repair simple household objects. She has repaired twelve lamps with the group so far, but she says the main aim is learning, not counting finished objects.
One visitor, Omar, has been working on an old radio for three sessions. It still does not work, but he has learned how to check several components safely. He bought the radio at a market last year. Eva has asked him not to switch it on without supervision. Omar has never repaired a radio before, so he values the guidance. He has already booked another session. For him, an unfinished repair can still be a useful learning experience.
What does Eva consider the main aim of the workshop?
- Finishing every object in one session.
El caso de la radio muestra que una reparación puede requerir varias sesiones.
- Buying new radios for all visitors.
La actividad es reparar objetos, no comprar radios nuevas.
- Helping visitors learn repair skills.
Correcta: Eva dice que el objetivo es “learning, not counting finished objects”.
- Selling as many repaired lamps as possible.
No se menciona venta ni se prioriza contar productos acabados.
