Supplied materials

  • Paper or a browser scratch area; no audio recording, account or private information is needed.

Cerrada el sábado.” Glosses: abierta=open; cerrada=closed; solo=only; lectura=reading; juegos=games; adultos=adults; niños=children; gratis=free; antes=before; otra=other; inscripción=registration; hasta=until. Identify the stated Saturday. Candidate answers: (A) Closed (B) Its Saturday status is unstated (C) Open (D) Open only after midnight.
  • Original fictional notice: “Sala 1: solo lectura. Sala 2: juegos.” Glosses: abierta=open; cerrada=closed; solo=only; lectura=reading; juegos=games; adultos=adults; niños=children; gratis=free; antes=before; otra=other; inscripción=registration; hasta=until.

Learn the idea

A short notice or message is useful when the reader can identify its action, time, place and conditions without inventing extra details. These original supplied records give all facts needed, with glosses for the less familiar vocabulary. Notices may specify restrictions, exceptions or deadlines alongside an event time. Words such as solo, no, antes and hasta alter the allowed or requested action; their scope follows the phrase they modify.

Identify which condition the question asks about. Use the supplied glosses, then distinguish registration from event timing, required materials from price, and closure from another room’s availability. Quote the relevant words in your explanation.

A notice does not prove that registration succeeded or a real building is accessible. These tasks only interpret fictional text. Keep an explicit exclusion or deadline instead of combining all mentioned days into one unrestricted schedule.

  1. Copy the supplied example and underline its speaker, noun, time cue or evidence words.
  2. Apply the shown language rule; keep any required ending, accent or paired punctuation.
  3. Solve the changed independent check, then explain why one offered alternative fails.
  4. Complete all three new practice cases and use the model to correct the precise word or meaning.

Supplied case: Original fictional notice: “Biblioteca abierta de lunes a viernes. Cerrada el sábado.” Glosses: abierta=open; cerrada=closed; solo=only; lectura=reading; juegos=games; adultos=adults; niños=children; gratis=free; antes=before; otra=other; inscripción=registration; hasta=until. Identify the stated Saturday. Candidate answers: (A) Closed (B) Its Saturday status is unstated (C) Open (D) Open only after midnight. Solution: Cerrada el sábado explicitly states Saturday closure. Keep this condition separate from the other printed information. Final result: Closed. A notice does not prove that registration succeeded or a real building is accessible. These tasks only interpret fictional text. Keep an explicit exclusion or deadline instead of combining all mentioned days into one unrestricted schedule.
