Reading Project: check your level!




Hello everyone!

We will soon be starting our reading project- first I´ll ask you to complete a questionnaire to see what kind of books you like, then in October we will begin.
Perhaps you are wondering what level you should start? Here is mini test to see if you should start at level 5 (Upper Intermediate) or level 4 (Intermediate).
If you get 80% of the answers correct, that is the level for you! If not, better go for level 4 - you can try level 5 later, maybeafter Christmas.

I will reveal the answers on 10 November, so happy word hunting!
