01Reading Comprehension: Short and Long Passages and Information Retrieval
The Aichi entrance English paper tests reading in three shapes: a shorter practical text (notice, e-mail, poster, schedule), a longer narrative or opinion passage, and a passage tied to a graph or table. Marks hinge less on knowing every word than on locating the sentence that answers each question.
399 words, about 2 min02Listening Comprehension: Dialogues, Monologues, and Picture/Table Tasks
Listening opens the Aichi paper and is played once, so the reading you do before the sound starts is part of the test. Tasks include short dialogues with picture choices, longer dialogues with printed questions, and a monologue or dialogue where you complete a table or memo in English or with numbers.
372 words, about 2 min03Writing: Guided Composition, Sentence Production, and Prompt Responses
The writing section mixes controlled production (reordering words into a sentence, supplying a missing English line in a dialogue) with 条件英作文: a short free composition carrying several printed conditions. Most lost marks come from breaking a condition, not from bad ideas.
402 words, about 2 min04Grammar and Vocabulary in Context: Completion, Reordering, and Error Finding
This section checks whether you can pick the right form for a specific sentence, not whether you can recite rules. Expect blank-filling with choices, word-form changes, sentence reordering with one word already placed, and choosing the incorrect or correct form.
384 words, about 2 min05Communication and Situational English: Functional Expressions and Dialogue Completion
These items are short dialogues with one missing reply. They test whether you recognise the function of the first line, an offer, a request, an invitation, an apology, a phone call, a shop exchange, and answer it the way a fluent speaker would.
