TCF Canada reading drill
Three drills built around the answer sentence of each reading question: paraphrase matching, cloze and word reordering. Reading options are mostly paraphrases of the answer sentence, so this trains finding it and recognizing the rewording.
Free questions are open to everyone. Log in to unlock all 87 questions and save your progress.
Most lost reading points come from not seeing which sentence in the passage an option paraphrases: the answer sentence and the correct option almost never use the same words. The test is all about paraphrase.
Work through real answer sentences one by one: spot which option each one supports, catch the paraphrased key phrase, then rebuild the original sentence. The paraphrase patterns will stick.
On exam day, you’ll see through the same paraphrase tricks in unfamiliar passages at a glance.
Paraphrase match: read the answer sentence and pick the option it supports, exactly what you do in the exam.
Key phrase cloze: a key expression is removed from the answer sentence. Pick the right one of four to put back.
Sentence rebuild: read the Chinese translation and put the word blocks back into the original French sentence.
Each time you practice a question, it switches to the next mode.
