En fælles have i boligområdet

Beboerne i Søparken har startet en fælles have mellem husene. Ideen kom fra en gruppe naboer, som gerne ville bruge området på en ny måde. I haven dyrker de grøntsager, krydderurter og blomster.

Alle beboere må være med, men de skal skrive sig på en liste. Hver lørdag formiddag mødes gruppen for at vande planterne og planlægge arbejdet. Om sommeren holder de en lille fælles middag med grøntsager fra haven.

Formanden for boligforeningen siger, at haven både giver frisk mad og gør det lettere for naboerne at lære hinanden at kende.

3) Scan, then read closely

Scan first for names, dates, and repeated words. Then read the sentence around the answer. A correct answer can use different words from the text but keep the same meaning.

4) Exam tip

Do not use your own knowledge. Choose what the text says, what it clearly means, or ikke nævnt if the information is absent.
