FOCUS 1 Unit 1.4 Reading

Read the passage and answer the tasks correctly

Complete each section carefully and follow the instructions provided before every activity. Read all definitions, notices, conversations, texts, and answer choices before selecting your response. Remember that most questions have one correct answer among A, B, or C, while the final reading comprehension section uses A, B, C, or D. For vocabulary activities, match each definition with the correct word from the options provided. For signpost questions, identify the place where you would most likely see each notice. Work independently, use the information in the texts to support your answers, and review your responses before submitting the worksheet.
