For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer by matching the people below with the following texts.

Halloween Night Out

The friends below all want to choose the best place to go on Halloween. Below are descriptions of eight places and events. Decide which place would be the most suitable for each friend. For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer.

Josh

Josh wants an exciting night with dancing and a DJ. He is happy to stay out late and wants a place in the city centre so they can get home easily. He also wants a costume competition because he has already planned a funny outfit.

Ellie

Ellie loves puzzles and wants to do something as a team. She doesn’t like horror actors jumping out at people, but she enjoys a spooky atmosphere. She would like an activity that lasts about an hour, and she wants to book a time slot in advance.

Sana

Sana is vegetarian and wants a Halloween evening that includes a proper meal, not just sweets. She would like a relaxed place where friends can talk, and she doesn’t want to travel far because she will use public transport. A costume is welcome but not necessary.

Leo

Leo wants to dress up and take lots of photos with his friends. He prefers an outdoor event with interesting lights or decorations. He doesn’t want anything too frightening, and he would like a place where they can buy snacks while they walk around.

Mia

Mia loves scary stories but hates loud music and crowded dance floors. She wants an indoor activity where she can sit down sometimes. She also wants something that finishes by 10 p.m. because she has an early start the next day.

What to do

This task is a long one, so don’t worry, it cannot be done quickly!

Your task is to match eight texts with five people. There are three texts which you will not need.

It’s important to find out what the different people want before you look at the eight texts.

Don’t choose an answer just because it contains the same words as the question. Read the texts carefully to check the meaning is correct.

This part of the test cannot be done quickly because you need to read the details in each text carefully, and you may have to go back to a text and re-read it several times.

When you are sure you have found an answer, you may want to cross out that particular text as you will not need to read it again.

Strategy

  1. Read the five descriptions of people and underline the key words.
  2. Now read one description and try to find the matching text. The correct text must have all the points that the person requires. For example, if a person wants a romantic book that is short, you must find a text which matches the two requirements: romantic and short.
  3. Usually, the correct answer will not contain exactly the same words as the person’s description. You may have to recognize different ways of saying the same thing, for example, ‘love story’ instead of ‘romantic’, and ‘a book | can read quickly’ instead of ‘a short book’.
  4. If you think that there are two texts that seem to match the same person, read the description and the two texts again carefully. Only ONE text will match ALL of a person’s requirements.
  5. Check that the option you have chosen ts correct by trying to find out why the other options are incorrect.
