B2 reading

B2 English reading comprehension

At B2, reading comprehension goes beyond the general meaning: inference, text structure, author intent and vocabulary in context.

How do you improve B2 reading?

B2 reading is about finding evidence in the text, not only understanding the general idea. This page targets inference, detail questions, vocabulary in context and distractors that often cost points in exams.

  • Read the question before the passage to know what to find.
  • Match each answer with a precise sentence in the text.
  • Remove options that are too extreme or too broad.

Why practice this page

  • Practice comprehension questions useful for ECL preparation.
  • Learn to find evidence without translating every word.
  • Improve speed and precision before a timed exam.

Recommended training plan
