Advertentie lezen

Reading a small ad — something for sale, a supermarket offer — and answering what is sold, what it costs or what you get with it.

5 of our A2 reading items carry this code. An ad is the densest text on the paper: in five lines it gives an age, a colour, a condition, a price, a phone number, a time to call and a place to collect. Almost every line holds a number or a noun, and the question asks for exactly one of them. The difficulty is not the Dutch — it is that the ad hands the item writer three convincing wrong answers for free.
