How to practise this text
Match everyday situations to service advertisements. Identify what each person needs first: vehicle repair, catering, legal help, translation, housing, accommodation or accountancy. Similar businesses may serve different purposes.
Attempt the questions first, then submit to see the draft answers. Return to the text to locate evidence for each response. Record whether a mistake came from vocabulary, a missed condition or confusion about the question instructions.
