Hi Liz,
I was doing reading Listening task practice from one of the Cambridge books and the answer for 1 particular question was cafe.
Is it correct if I write cafe or should it be café?
The answer at the end of the book was, café. I am a bit confused.
My exam is on this Saturday, please reply as early as possible.
Thanks
It would probably be fine without the accent above the “e”. But you should learn to transfer answers from the passage to your answer sheet exactly as they are written.
