About these language reading practice

Three short, original texts for beginners: Lucía describes her family in Spanish, Tom goes to the market in French, and Jonas talks about his day in German. Questions are in English so they test understanding of the text, not of the questions.

Short-answer tasks ask learners to find words in the text and write a few sentences of their own.

What the worksheet covers

The question bank for this topic has 4 true-or-false statements, 5 multiple-choice questions and 2 short-answer questions. Each worksheet mixes a selection, so no two are the same.

  • Question types: true or false, multiple choice, short answers.
  • Best for: beginners of any age (about A1–A2 level).
