Recall drills — 126 more questions from the B1 words

These 126 drills are generated from the Telugu B1 vocabulary list — the words of “Personal and Professional Communication” through “Home, Society, and Culture”, in both directions: recognition (word → meaning) and production (meaning → word). They re-ask what the course data already contains; no answer here was written by a machine, and a generated drill is practice, never a lesson.

Telugu B1 beyond the drills — culture, reading, listening, idioms

These sections are written for Telugu B1 specifically. The reading text is EkGuru's own; the culture note cites where its facts come from; the idioms and the mistakes list are the ones this level actually trips over.

Culture note

Bathukamma is a floral festival strongly associated with Telangana. The state's official culture page describes flower stacks, group songs and gatherings, with the celebration culminating in immersion of the floral arrangements in nearby tanks or lakes. Seasonal flowers and local practice matter, so the lesson treats Bathukamma as a living regional tradition rather than a single recipe or a performance that every Telugu-speaking household observes in the same way.

Source (named, not linked): telangana.gov.in.

Reading — read this aloud, slowly

What it says: Everyone on our street prepared together for the Bathukamma gathering. Some brought flowers; others prepared a place to sit in a circle. When the elders started a song, children joined in too. After the programme, they took the flowers to the tank. The organisers reminded everyone to keep the waterside clean.

Listening — one voice, one text

Use the speaker button to hear this text with a browser voice tagged te-IN; playback starts only after a click. If no matching voice is installed, read it aloud yourself — the rhythm is the point.

What it says: Latha: Have the flower baskets arrived? Sudha: They have, but the song list is not ready yet. Latha: I will speak with the elders and write down the order. Sudha: Good. We should also say that rubbish must not be left near the water.

10 idioms and fixed phrases

The 3 mistakes this level makes

• వాళ్లు పూలు నీటిలో వేసారు. → వాళ్లు పూలను నీటిలో వేశారు. Mark the definite object with -ను, and use the written past form వేశారు.
• పాట మొదలైనప్పుడు పిల్లలు కూడా పాడారు. → పాట మొదలుపెట్టినప్పుడు పిల్లలు కూడా పాడారు. మొదలైనప్పుడు means when it began; this sentence needs the agentive 'when they started' form.
• అందరూ కలిసి ఏర్పాట్లు చేసింది. → అందరూ కలిసి ఏర్పాట్లు చేశారు. The human plural subject అందరూ takes plural agreement చేశారు.

Your task

సమాజ వేడుకకు బాధ్యతల పంచకం Write a short note for a neighbourhood group: describe two tasks already completed, assign two tasks still to do, and give a reason to protect the waterfront. Use కలిసి, తరువాత, ఎందుకంటే and ఒకవేళ at least once. Finish with one sentence that invites people to help without assuming everyone celebrates in the same way.

After B1: the B1+ checkpoint

B1+ is not a certificate — it is the half-step between Telugu B1 and the next level, and it is on this site’s ladder because language schools use it. You are at B1+ when you can work in the language, argue a point politely. Get there by working the recall drills above and the review deck until nothing on this page surprises you, then open the B2 pages.
