A bill puts several kinds of information side by side. At B2, you can distinguish the quantity used from the money owed, ask which period a charge covers, and express your intention precisely. These invented situations practise language; the sources document the terminology.
The idea
Read the head of each label: tüketim is consumption, ödenecek tutar is the amount due, and son ödeme tarihi is the payment deadline. Match the verb to its object: faturayı ödemek means to pay the bill; aboneliği başlatmak starts a subscription; aboneliği iptal etmek or sonlandırmak ends it. The formal label fesih başvurusu names a request for termination.

Watch out
Fatura iptali concerns cancelling an invoice; abonelik iptali concerns ending the subscription. Choose the object that matches your intention. Also, başvuru alındı says the request was received, whereas abonelik sona erdi says the subscription ended. These messages do not say the same thing.
Try it yourself
Which label gives the last day for payment: fatura dönemi or son ödeme tarihi?
Show answer or example answer
son ödeme tarihi
son ödeme tarihi: the question asks for the last payment day; fatura dönemi instead identifies the period covered by the bill.
Choose the word for the amount of electricity used: sayaç or tüketim.
Show answer or example answer
tüketim
tüketim: the clue asks how much electricity was used. A sayaç is the measuring device, not the quantity it records.
Complete “I want to start my subscription”: ___ başlatmak istiyorum. Use abonelik with “my” and the object ending.
Show answer or example answer
aboneliğimi
aboneliğimi: the subscription belongs to the speaker and is the specific object of starting. In abonelik → aboneliğim → aboneliğimi, k softens to ğ before the vowel; the final -i marks the object.
Complete the request to end the subscription: Aboneliğimi ___ istiyorum. Use iptal etmek or sonlandırmak.
Show answer or example answer
iptal etmek / sonlandırmak
iptal etmek / sonlandırmak: either infinitive fits before istiyorum and expresses the wish to end the subscription. İptal alone lacks the verb needed in this sentence.
