A2 Key for Schools (KET) Reading & Writing Part 3 Test – Smart Kitchens 6

14 A - Explanation: In the first paragraph, Hannah says she used the website because "I wanted to get a really special present for him this year." A is the correct answer. B is wrong logic because her brother didn't ask her for it; she decided to do it as a surprise. C is wrong logic because she used a website to design a cake, not to learn how to design websites.

15 C - Explanation: In the second paragraph, Hannah explains that she picked the flavour, the colours, and the message she wanted. This means she chose what the bakery should put on the cake. A is a wrong reference because she paid with "my mum's bank card," not her own money. B is wrong logic because chocolate is his favourite flavour, but the text does not say blue and green are his favourite colours.

16 C - Explanation: In the third paragraph, Hannah says "I saw the words 'Happy Birthday', but my brother's name wasn't there!" C correctly paraphrases this. A is wrong logic because the driver brought it in "a big box," but it wasn't the wrong box. B is wrong logic because she explicitly says "the blue and green colours were perfect."

17 A - Explanation: In the fourth paragraph, Hannah states "I carefully wrote Tom's name on the cake myself." A is the correct paraphrase. B is a partial truth because she was in her kitchen and used something brown, but she didn't bake a new cake. C is a wrong reference because she found the chocolate icing in her own kitchen cupboards, not by going to the bakery.

18 B - Explanation: This is a specific detail question about the ending of the story. In the final paragraph, the text says Tom "ate three huge pieces, and he never knew about my silly internet mistake!" B is correct. A is wrong logic because he absolutely loved it and wasn't angry. C is a wrong reference because Hannah did the writing herself; Tom didn't help her fix it.

14 A - Explanation: In the first paragraph, the text says Ian bought it because it is "difficult to get it exactly right" and "sometimes the meat is a bit too pink inside," which matches wanting to make sure his food is cooked well (A). B is a partial truth trap; the text mentions his family and roast chicken, but they didn't ask him to buy it. C is a wrong logic trap; he wrote a review after buying it, not for a school project.

15 C - Explanation: The second paragraph states that "The chicken cooked perfectly, and it didn't burn at all," making C correct. A uses wrong logic; the text actually says it is "very easy to use." B is a partial truth trap; he leaves it in the oven, but he checks the temperature "on his phone screen," not by opening the oven.

16 A - Explanation: The third paragraph explains that when he went to the garden, "the app on his phone stopped working because he was too far away," which means his phone lost its connection (A). B is a wrong reference trap; he talked to his brother in the garden, but his brother didn't offer to help him cook. C uses wrong logic; he didn't forget about the meat; the app just disconnected.

17 B - Explanation: In the fourth paragraph, Ian advises that "you should always stay inside the kitchen while you are using it," which means you shouldn't leave the room (B). A is a wrong reference trap; he recommends it for anyone who wants to make "perfect meals," not just "large meals." C uses wrong logic; there is no mention of needing to buy a better phone.

18 B - Explanation: This is a global question testing the overall purpose of the text. Ian is writing a review to share his experience (pros and cons) about a Bluetooth thermometer, which matches giving his opinion about a piece of kitchen technology (B). A is a partial truth trap; he mentions cooking a chicken, but the text focuses on the device, not a recipe. C uses wrong logic; he is giving advice to others, not asking for advice.

14 A - Explanation: The text says she likes using the app "to tell other people about good places to eat," which matches sharing her thoughts about good meals. Option B is a wrong logic trap; she went to the restaurant with her family, but she uses the app to tell others, not to find places. Option C is a wrong reference trap; the text mentions Italian food, but not cooking at home with her mother.

15 B - Explanation: The text states she explained that "the waiters were very friendly," meaning the people working there were nice. Option A is a partial truth trap; she sat in her bedroom to write the review, but she ate the pizza at the restaurant. Option C is a wrong logic trap; she wanted to give them five gold stars as a score, not tell them they needed a new one.

16 A - Explanation: Jenny made a mistake and "clicked on just one star," which means she gave the restaurant a very bad score. Option B is a wrong reference trap; the sad message she received was from the "restaurant owner," not another customer. Option C is the opposite of what happened; she didn't forget to put stars, she accidentally put the wrong number of stars.

17 C - Explanation: The text explains that Jenny "went back onto the app and changed her score to five stars," which matches correcting the information on the internet. Option A is a partial truth trap; she wrote a message to say sorry, but she did it on the app, she didn't walk back to the restaurant. Option B is a wrong logic trap; she changed the score herself, she didn't ask the owner to do it.

18 B - Explanation: In the final paragraph, Jenny plans to go back to the restaurant "with her friends for her birthday party," which matches celebrating a special day with some friends. Option A is a wrong timing trap; she went with her family last Saturday, not next weekend. Option C is a wrong logic trap; the pizza is amazing, but she is going there to eat it, not to make it herself.
