Sample Fukui Entrance English Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Fukui Entrance English exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'She showed great ______ when she gave a speech in front of the whole school.'
A.courage
B.weather
C.furniture
D.traffic
Explanation: 'Courage' means bravery or the ability to do something difficult, and speaking to a large audience requires it. It is the only abstract quality here that a person can 'show' in this context.
2Choose the word that best completes the sentence: '______ students in our class passed the English test. Only three failed.'
A.Almost
B.Most
C.Every
D.Much
Explanation: 'Most' means nearly all and is directly followed by a plural noun, so 'Most students passed' matches 'Only three failed.' 'Almost' needs 'all' before a noun ('almost all students'), so it cannot stand alone here.
3Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'Could you ______ me your dictionary? I'll return it tomorrow.'
A.rent
B.sell
C.lend
D.borrow
Explanation: The speaker is asking the other person to give the dictionary temporarily, so 'lend' (give to someone for a short time) is correct: 'lend me your dictionary.' 'Borrow' would be from the borrower's side: 'Could I borrow your dictionary?'
4Choose the word that matches this meaning: 'a person whose job is to fly an airplane'.
A.chef
B.nurse
C.farmer
D.pilot
Explanation: A 'pilot' is the trained professional who flies an airplane. The definition describes the pilot's job exactly.
5Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'This soup is too ______. I need some water to cool my mouth.'
A.sweet
B.hot
C.thin
D.slow
Explanation: If the speaker needs water to cool the mouth, the soup is too 'hot' (too high in temperature). The second sentence gives the clue that determines the adjective.
6Choose the phrase that best completes the sentence: 'Many students ______ the school festival every year by performing music and drama.'
A.get up
B.take part in
C.look after
D.put away
Explanation: 'Take part in' means to participate in an event, which matches students performing music and drama at a festival. The phrase takes an event as its object.
7Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'My father ______ a new job at a hospital in Fukui City last month.'
A.got
B.made
C.did
D.played
Explanation: The natural collocation is 'get a job,' and the past tense marker 'last month' gives 'got.' 'Make a job,' 'do a job,' and 'play a job' are not standard English collocations for starting employment.
8Choose the preposition that best completes the sentence: 'My sister is very interested ______ traditional Japanese lacquerware.'
A.at
B.on
C.for
D.in
Explanation: The fixed adjective-preposition combination is 'interested in.' It describes curiosity or attraction toward a topic, here traditional lacquerware.
9Choose the phrase that best completes the sentence: 'Please ______ the lights when you leave the classroom. We must save electricity.'
A.turn on
B.turn off
C.turn up
D.turn around
Explanation: 'Turn off' means to stop a device or light from working. Since the reason is saving electricity when leaving, switching the lights off is the logical action.
10Choose the phrase that best completes the sentence: 'We are ______ seeing you again at the reunion next summer.'
A.looking forward to
B.looking up to
C.looking into
D.looking after
Explanation: 'Look forward to' expresses happy expectation about a future event, which fits anticipating the reunion. Note that 'to' here is a preposition, so it is followed by the -ing form 'seeing.'

Fukui Entrance English Study Tips from Top Performers

1Train yourself to catch corrected information ('not eight fifteen, but eight thirty') and final agreements in dialogues, because the official dialogue listening is played only once.
2Review relative pronouns, participle modifiers, and indirect-question word order ('Do you know where the station is?'), which are frequent junior-high test points.
3Because the official paper includes written constructed responses, supplement this MCQ bank with regular short free-writing practice in English.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the official Fukui English exam include listening?

Yes. The listening section is the final large question of the 60-minute English paper, and its dialogue-comprehension item is played only once, with no repetition. This bank cannot reproduce the audio; its listening items are transcript-based study adaptations that train the same comprehension strategies.

Are these questions official past exam problems?

No. The Fukui Prefectural Board of Education does not publish the exam as a multiple-choice set. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the MEXT junior-high Course of Study; it also cannot replace the official paper's written constructed-response tasks, so keep practicing free writing separately.

How long is the English paper and what is the maximum score?

The English paper is a single 60-minute exam scored out of 100 points, administered on February 18, 2026 (day 1, together with kokugo and suugaku). The five subjects total 500 points, and admission combines these scores with the junior-high report (chousasho).

Does an Eiken certificate help in the Fukui entrance examination?

Yes. In the general selection the board adds points to the English examination score for the Eiken (Jitsuyo Eigo Ginou Kentei) certificate: 5 points for grade 3, 10 points for grade pre-2 and 15 points for grade 2 or above. The bonus is capped so that the English score plus the bonus cannot exceed 100 points.

Is the whole grade-3 syllabus examinable?

Not for every year. For the Reiwa 8 (2026) and Reiwa 9 (2027) general selections the board published a list of grade-3 textbook pages excluded from the examinable range in all five subjects, including English. From the Reiwa 10 (2028) general selection the examination returns to the full range. Check the current year's official range notice before narrowing your revision.

What are the A and B choice problems?

One to two of the paper's large questions are offered in two school-selected versions: type A emphasizes basic skills, while type B carries more written and descriptive response. Each high school and department decides which version its applicants answer, and in recent English papers only the free-composition question has been split this way, with the reading and listening questions common to both.
