01Listening Comprehension
Nagasaki's listening questions check whether you can follow short dialogues, school announcements and monologues and then choose the response that fits the situation. You hear the script once or twice but do not read it, so meaning must be processed in real time.
279 words, about 1 min02Reading Comprehension
The reading section asks you to understand notices, emails, short articles and stories, and to answer questions about detail, main idea, reference and inference. Nagasaki's paper favours practical texts and clear logical links, so the answer is usually supported by a specific line or by a contrast in the passage.

Grammar and vocabulary items test your control of tense, agreement, articles, prepositions, comparatives, infinitives, participles, relative clauses and common collocations. Nagasaki's paper tends to place these in short, everyday sentences rather than in isolated labels, so read the whole sentence before choosing.
