For each question, choose the correct answer.
The School Reading Club
Many schools have a reading club where students can enjoy books together. It usually meets once a week in the school (19)…………… , so it is easy to find a quiet place to sit. Every month, the teacher chooses a new (20)…………… for everyone to read.
You do not have to read all the (21)…………… in one day. You can take the book home and read a little bit every evening. When the club meets, students spend time (22)…………… about their favourite parts.
Being in a reading club is a great way to make new friends. It is also fun because you are (23)…………… your ideas with other people. If you want to (24)…………… the club, you just need to ask your English teacher.
19 A library B gym C playground
20 A story B menu C letter
21 A pages B pieces C slices
22 A talking B saying C telling
23 A sharing B showing C sending
24 A join B enter C arrive
Answer Key & Explanations
19 A (library): A "library" is a room in a school full of books, which logically fits the context of a "quiet place to sit" and read. A "gym" and a "playground" are noisy places for sports and playing.
20 A (story): A "story" is a piece of fiction you read in a book. You read a "menu" in a restaurant to choose food, and a "letter" is a personal message sent in the mail.
21 A (pages): The sheets of paper inside a book are called "pages". We do not call them "pieces", and "slices" is a word used for food (like slices of bread or pizza).
22 A (talking): The verb "talk" is followed by the preposition "about" (talking about something). The verb "say" cannot be followed directly by "about" in this way, and "tell" needs an object first (e.g., telling us about).
23 A (sharing): "Sharing ideas" is a common English phrase meaning to tell other people what you think. You do not usually "show" ideas because they are in your head, and "sending" ideas sounds like you are writing an email.
24 A (join): In English, you "join" a club or group when you become a new member. You "enter" a physical room or building, and you "arrive" at a destination after travelling.

Questions 19-24
For each question, choose the correct answer.
The School Film Club
Joining the school film club is a great way to spend time with your classmates. Every Friday afternoon, students meet in the hall to watch different kinds of (19)…………… . Before the film starts, the teacher pulls down the big white (20)…………… at the front of the room.
Then, someone turns off the lights so the room is completely (21)…………… . This makes it much easier to see the pictures clearly. While you are (22)…………… the film, it is very important to be quiet. You should not start (23)…………… to your friends, because other people cannot hear the actors.
When the film finishes, the teacher turns the lights back on. Everyone can then (24)…………… a friendly chat about their favourite parts of the story. It is always a fun afternoon!
19 A movies B books C songs
20 A board B window C screen
21 A empty B dark C closed
22 A looking B seeing C watching
23 A telling B saying C talking
24 A make B do C have
Answer Key & Explanations
19 A (movies): The context of a "film club" and the verb "watch" means they are looking at "movies". You read "books" and listen to "songs".
20 C (screen): A "screen" is the large flat surface used to show films or pictures from a projector. You write on a "board", and a "window" is made of glass to look outside.
21 B (dark): Turning off the lights makes a room "dark". "Empty" means there are no people inside, and we use "closed" for doors or shops, not for how a room looks without light.
22 C (watching): We use the verb "watch" when we look at something that moves for a period of time, like a film or television programme. "Looking" would need the preposition "at", and "seeing" is for a sudden, brief sight.
23 C (talking): "Talking" is the correct verb to use with the preposition "to" when having a conversation with friends. We use "telling" without "to" (telling your friends), and "saying" is for specific words, not general conversations.
24 C (have): "Have a chat" is a very common, fixed English collocation. We do not use "make" or "do" with the word "chat".
Test 3
Questions 19-24
For each question, choose the correct answer.
Joining the School Choir
Many students love music and decide to join the school choir. It is a great place to learn about singing and make new friends. When you join, the music teacher listens to your (19)…………… to see how high or low you can sing. Then, you sit with other students who sound like you.
In the choir, you do not sing alone. Everyone must work (20)…………… to make the music sound beautiful. The teacher helps the students to learn many different (21)……………, from old classical music to modern pop. Sometimes, the choir has to sing very (22)…………… so that everyone in the large room can hear them.
At the end of the year, the choir usually gives a special concert for parents and teachers. It is always exciting to take (23)…………… in this big event. Joining the choir is a wonderful way to (24)…………… fun and share your love of music.
19 A voice B sound C noise
20 A together B along C around
21 A songs B bands C groups
22 A loud B fast C heavy
23 A part B place C time
24 A have B make C do
Answer Key & Explanations
19 A (voice): A "voice" is the specific sound a person makes when speaking or singing, which fits the context of checking how high or low a student can sing. "Sound" is too general (like the sound of a car), and "noise" usually describes something unpleasant to hear.
20 A (together): "Work together" is the correct phrase meaning to cooperate with other people in a group. "Along" would require the preposition "with" (work along with), and "around" does not make sense in this context.
21 A (songs): The text gives examples of "old classical music to modern pop", which refers to the "songs" the students sing. "Bands" and "groups" are the people who play music, not the music itself.
22 A (loud): The text explains that they do this so that "everyone in the large room can hear them." This context makes "loud" the only logical answer. "Fast" and "heavy" do not help people to hear music better in a large room.
23 A (part): "Take part" is a fixed English collocation meaning to join in or participate in an event. "Take place" means to happen, and "take time" means an activity is not fast, neither of which fit the context of a student being in a concert.
24 A (have): "Have fun" is the correct and highly frequent verb-noun collocation for enjoying yourself. In English, we do not say "do fun," and "make fun" followed by the preposition "of" means to laugh at someone unkindly.
