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

Class Dinner Choices

A group of classmates want to choose a restaurant for a group dinner. Below are descriptions of five classmates and eight restaurants. Decide which restaurant would be the most suitable for each person. For questions 1-5, choose the correct answer.

Maya

Maya is organising the class dinner and wants a place that can take a large group and let them book a table. She is vegetarian and needs at least a few good meat-free main dishes. She also wants the restaurant to be easy to reach by bus or train because some classmates do not drive.

Liam

Liam loves trying food from different countries, but he cannot eat gluten. He would like clear information about ingredients and a staff member who can help him choose safely. He prefers a quiet place where people can talk, not somewhere with loud music.

Noah

Noah uses a wheelchair and needs step-free access, including an accessible toilet. He also has a nut allergy, so he wants a restaurant that can prepare food without nuts and take allergies seriously. He prefers simple, familiar dishes rather than very spicy food.

Ethan

Ethan wants a fun evening and hopes the group can stay for a long time. He would like live music or a lively atmosphere, and he doesn’t mind if it is noisy. He eats meat and wants big portions. He can only come on Friday after 8 p.m.

Sofia

Sofia is on a tight budget and wants a set menu or a student discount. She also wants to bring her little brother, so the place must be family-friendly. She would like the dinner to finish early because she has training the next morning.

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.
