01Understand connected practical texts and follow the writer’s purpose
B1 reading asks you to follow connected language about familiar interests, everyday responsibilities, experiences, and straightforward opinions. Move beyond finding a matching word. Establish the text type, writer, recipient, and purpose, then identify how the information is organized. An email may explain a problem before making a request; a notice may announce a service change and give an exception.

B1 listening develops the ability to follow the main points of clear speech on familiar subjects while retaining details needed for a practical task. A conversation may involve a problem, a proposed solution, an objection, and an agreed next step. The opening suggestion is not necessarily the final decision. Before listening, identify what the question asks: the reason, the action, the speaker's view, or a detail such as a meeting place.
