Lesson 2 · 45 min

Mock Situation A: reading

Objective

Read a document and answer exam-style questions.

The lesson

In the exam, read the questions first, then read the text. Underline the key words. Answer in English with short sentences, or quote the text when you are asked to justify.

Worked example

Most companies decided to keep it, because workers were less tired and took fewer days off sick. However, the system is harder to organise in shops and hospitals, which must stay open every day.

Listen to the model
