French with Ash · Book 1 · TEF Practice
Five longer texts in the style of the TEF Compréhension écrite, still built only from your first six chapters, but harder than the first set. A restaurant notice, an invitation, a weekend story, an introduction, and a review. The passages run longer, several have more than one person doing different things, and the wrong answers are written to tempt you. Read each one in French before you open the translation.
Read the French text first, then answer the questions under it. Tap an option to answer. It checks the moment you tap: green for right, red for wrong, and the correct choice lights up. Each text has an English translation folded underneath, and every question is translated too. Open the translation only after you've tried the questions. That is where the reading happens.
The same four traps run through all five texts. Who did what, when several people share the story. Which day, which time, which price, especially when two numbers sit close together. Next to versus across from. And the wrong answer that quietly belongs to a different person, or a different part of the weekend.
Read the questions first, then go back into the text and hunt for the one detail each one needs. You will not know every word. You do not have to. Find the right one. The translation is for checking, not for reading first. Once a text is easy without it, you have earned that text.
