1Lugemine (Reading): Te loete tutvustust: 'Tere! Minu nimi on Anna. Ma olen kolmekümne aasta vanune ja elan Tallinnas. Ma töötan kontoris ja mulle meeldib lugeda raamatuid.' (Hello! My name is Anna.

A.Tallinnas (In Tallinn)
B.Tartus (In Tartu)
C.Narvas (In Narva)
D.Pärnus (In Pärnu)
Explanation: The text states 'elan Tallinnas' (I live in Tallinn), which directly answers the question. This is a basic B1 reading task testing extraction of a single stated fact from a short self-introduction.
2Lugemine (Reading): Te loete kuulutust: 'Üürile anda 2-toaline korter Tartu kesklinnas. Üür 450 eurot kuus, lisaks kommunaalkulud. Korter on möbleeritud. Helistage numbril 5555 1234.' (For rent: 2-room apartment in Tartu city centre. Rent 450 euros per month, plus utility costs. The apartment is furnished. Call number 5555 1234.) Kui palju maksab üür kuus? (How much does the rent cost per month?)
A.450 eurot (450 euros)

Explanation: The advertisement states 'Üür 450 eurot kuus' (rent 450 euros per month), which is the exact figure asked for. This tests straightforward extraction of a stated price from a rental listing.
3Lugemine (Reading): Te loete tööpakkumist: 'Otsime kokka restorani. Töökogemus on kasuks, aga pole kohustuslik. Kandideerimiseks saatke oma CV aadressile toojuht@restoran.ee hiljemalt 15. augustiks.' (We are looking for a cook for the restaurant. Work experience is an advantage but not mandatory. To apply, send your CV to toojuht@restoran.ee by 15 August at the latest.) Kas töökogemus on kohustuslik? (Is work experience mandatory?)
A.Jah, kindlasti (Yes, definitely)
B.Ei, aga see on kasuks (No, but it is an advantage)
C.Jah, vähemalt kolm aastat (Yes, at least three years)
D.Seda ei mainita (It is not mentioned)
Explanation: The text states 'Töökogemus on kasuks, aga pole kohustuslik' (work experience is an advantage but not mandatory) — experience helps an application but is not required. This tests correctly interpreting a nuanced statement in a job posting.
4Lugemine (Reading): Te loete kooli teadet: 'Uus keeleõppe kursus algab 1. septembril. Registreerimine on avatud kuni 20. augustini. Kursus toimub kaks korda nädalas, esmaspäeviti ja kolmapäeviti kell 18.00.' (A new language course starts on 1 September. Registration is open until 20 August. The course takes place twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays at 18:00.) Mitu korda nädalas kursus toimub? (How many times a week does the course take place?)
A.Üks kord (Once)
B.Kaks korda (Twice)
C.Kolm korda (Three times)
D.Iga päev (Every day)
Explanation: The notice states 'kaks korda nädalas, esmaspäeviti ja kolmapäeviti' (twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays), which directly gives the answer. This tests extracting a frequency detail from an administrative announcement.
5Lugemine (Reading): Te loete sõnumit hambaarstilt: 'Tere! Tuletame meelde, et Teie vastuvõtt on homme, 3. juulil kell 10.15. Palun tulge 5 minutit varem. Kui te ei saa tulla, andke sellest teada vähemalt 24 tundi ette.' (Hello! We remind you that your appointment is tomorrow, 3 July at 10:15. Please arrive 5 minutes early. If you cannot come, let us know at least 24 hours in advance.) Mitu minutit varem peab patsient tulema? (How many minutes early must the patient arrive?)
A.5 minutit (5 minutes)
B.10 minutit (10 minutes)
C.15 minutit (15 minutes)
D.24 tundi (24 hours)
Explanation: The message says 'Palun tulge 5 minutit varem' (please arrive 5 minutes early). This tests picking out the correct number among several similar time figures in the same short text.
6Lugemine (Reading): Te loete ilmateadet: 'Homme on pilves ilm koos vahepealse vihmaga. Õhutemperatuur tõuseb kuni 18 kraadini. Tuul puhub loodest, mõõdukas kuni tugev.' (Tomorrow will be cloudy with occasional rain. The air temperature will rise up to 18 degrees. Wind blows from the northwest, moderate to strong.) Mis suunast tuul puhub? (From which direction does the wind blow?)
A.Loodest (From the northwest)
B.Kagust (From the southeast)
C.Põhjast (From the north)
D.Läänest (From the west)
Explanation: The forecast states 'Tuul puhub loodest' (wind blows from the northwest). This tests recognising a compass-direction word in a short weather report.
7Lugemine (Reading): Te loete arvet: 'Korteriühistu teatab: Veebruarikuu kommunaalkulude arve tuleb tasuda hiljemalt 25. märtsiks. Hilinemise korral lisandub viivis 0,5% päevas.' (The apartment association announces: The February utility bill must be paid by 25 March at the latest. In case of delay, a penalty of 0.5% per day is added.) Mis juhtub, kui arvet ei maksta õigeks ajaks? (What happens if the bill is not paid on time?)
A.Korter võetakse ära (The apartment is taken away)
B.Lisandub viivis 0,5% päevas (A 0.5% per day penalty is added)
C.Elektrit ei anta enam (Electricity is no longer supplied)
D.Midagi ei juhtu (Nothing happens)
Explanation: The notice explicitly states 'Hilinemise korral lisandub viivis 0,5% päevas' (in case of delay, a 0.5% daily penalty is added). This is a typical B1 reading task on administrative/financial consequences.
8Lugemine (Reading): Te loete e-kirja ülemuselt: 'Tere kolleegid! Homme kell 9.00 toimub osakonna koosolek. Palun võtke kaasa oma projektide aruanded. Koosolek kestab umbes tund aega.' (Hello colleagues! Tomorrow at 9:00 there is a department meeting. Please bring your project reports. The meeting will last about an hour.) Mida peavad töötajad koosolekule kaasa võtma? (What must the employees bring to the meeting?)
A.Oma arvutid (Their computers)
B.Oma projektide aruanded (Their project reports)
C.Oma töölepingud (Their work contracts)
D.Oma palgalehed (Their pay slips)
Explanation: The email asks employees to 'võtke kaasa oma projektide aruanded' (bring your project reports). This tests locating a specific instruction inside a short workplace email.
9Lugemine (Reading): Te loete raamatukogu teadet: 'Raamatukogu tuletab meelde: laenutatud raamatud tuleb tagastada 3 nädala jooksul. Tähtaega on võimalik pikendada veebilehe kaudu, kui raamatule pole teisi soovijaid.' (The library reminds you: borrowed books must be returned within 3 weeks. The deadline can be extended via the website if there are no other people waiting for the book.) Millal saab laenutähtaega pikendada? (When can the loan deadline be extended?)
A.Ainult raamatukogus kohapeal (Only in person at the library)
B.Kui raamatule pole teisi soovijaid (If there are no other people waiting for the book)
C.Ainult esimese nädala jooksul (Only within the first week)
D.Seda ei saa kunagi pikendada (It can never be extended)
Explanation: The notice states the deadline can be extended 'kui raamatule pole teisi soovijaid' (if no one else is waiting for the book). This tests understanding a conditional clause in a civic-service notice.
10Lugemine (Reading): Te loete ravimi pakendi infolehte: 'Täiskasvanutele: 1 tablett kaks korda päevas, hommikul ja õhtul, koos toiduga. Ärge ületage annust 2 tabletti päevas. Ravikuur kestab tavaliselt 7 päeva.' (For adults: 1 tablet twice a day, morning and evening, with food. Do not exceed a dose of 2 tablets per day. The course of treatment usually lasts 7 days.) Kuidas tuleb ravimit võtta? (How should the medicine be taken?)
A.2 tabletti hommikul tühja kõhuga (2 tablets in the morning on an empty stomach)
B.1 tablett hommikul ja õhtul koos toiduga (1 tablet morning and evening, with food)
C.3 tabletti päevas iga toidukorraga (3 tablets a day with every meal)
D.1 tablett ainult õhtul enne magamaminekut (1 tablet only in the evening before sleep)
Explanation: The label instructs '1 tablett kaks korda päevas, hommikul ja õhtul, koos toiduga' (1 tablet twice a day, morning and evening, with food). This tests precise comprehension of a dosage instruction with several numeric distractors.
