The idea
Ask whether a stated hour is in the morning or evening, then repeat the complete arrangement. Use a precise time when the context is unclear. Read the task before the model. Identify the information you need, make your own attempt, and compare it with the specific evidence in the six sentences. The examples are learning material; follow your examination provider's current instructions when working on an official paper.

Read-aloud uses a synthetic German voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No German device voice is available. You can still read the text and use the linked listening resources.
Watch out
A number without a time-of-day context may be ambiguous. Ask instead of choosing silently.
