Reading comprehension — IGCSE Chinese - Foreign Language (0547) questions by topic

Short passages and single sentences both feature: working out where a character now lives, which fruit is described as cheap, what present someone received, and matching a stated preference like skiing to the correct picture from a labelled set.

Identify, choose, answer, state and give lead the command words, worth from 1 to 9 marks, across 25 questions from 2025 papers, the largest set on this page. Because several items reuse similar sentence patterns with different vocabulary swapped in, practise reading each sentence for its specific new detail rather than assuming a familiar structure means a familiar answer, then use instant marking to catch any picture choice that does not match the text precisely.
