What does B1 reading comprehension involve?
B1 practice focuses on understanding straightforward texts about familiar situations, locating details and following main points. These readings provide original passages and explained questions; their difficulty labels guide practice and are not a certified level assessment.
How can I improve my B1 reading answers?
After choosing an option, underline its evidence in the passage. Check whether the answer changes words such as always, only or sometimes. If you guessed correctly, still explain the reason before moving on.
