Read a short text with one question in mind. The notices, ticket and messages here are fictional learning examples, not official exam questions or real announcements.
The idea
First decide what the question asks for: a time, a number or a place. Then match that detail to its label or sentence. On a ticket, sıra identifies the row and koltuk the seat. Read the whole message: değil can rule out the first place mentioned.
Examples
- Kütüphane bugün erken kapanıyor.The library is closing early today.
- Otobüs yarın buradan kalkıyor.The bus leaves from here tomorrow.
- Atölye yarın bahçede başlıyor.The workshop starts in the garden tomorrow.
- Kütüphane bugün 18.00'de kapanıyor. Son giriş: 17.30.The library closes at 18:00 today. Last entry: 17:30.
- Film bileti — Başlangıç: 19.30. Salon: 4. Sıra: 7. Koltuk: 12.Cinema ticket — Start: 19:30. Auditorium: 4. Row: 7. Seat: 12.
- Kafede değil, kitapçıda buluşalım. Saat aynı: 16.00.Let’s meet at the bookshop, not at the café. Same time: 16:00.
- Bu kapı kapalı. Giriş arka tarafta.This door is closed. The entrance is at the back.

No Turkish device voice is available. You can still read the text.
Watch out
Do not copy the first number you see. A closing time and son giriş (last entry) answer different questions. Likewise, a place mentioned before değil is being rejected, even if it is familiar.
Try it yourself
Kütüphane bugün 18.00'de kapanıyor. Son giriş: 17.30. What is the last-entry time? Copy the time.
Show answer or example answer
17.30
17.30: this is the time beside Son giriş. The library closes at 18.00, but that is not its last-entry time.
Film bileti — Başlangıç: 19.30. Salon: 4. Sıra: 7. Koltuk: 12. What is the seat number? Write only the number.
Show answer or example answer
12
12: the ticket labels this number Koltuk. The numbers 7 and 4 refer to the row and auditorium.
Kafede değil, kitapçıda buluşalım. Saat aynı: 16.00. Where shall we meet? Copy the word for the place.
Show answer or example answer
kitapçıda
kitapçıda: the message proposes meeting at the bookshop. Kafede değil rejects the café; 16.00 is unchanged.
Bu kapı kapalı. Giriş arka tarafta. Where is the entrance? Copy the two words for the location.
Show answer or example answer
arka tarafta
arka tarafta: the second sentence locates the entrance at the back. The first only says that this door is closed.
