Exam guide: multiple matching


In this part of the exam you need to match speakers to a sentence describing part of what they
are talking about.
• You hear five people talking about the same subject - they are not connected to each other. You hear
each extract twice.
• On the exam paper there are eight comments. Your jo b is to match one to each of the speakers. There
are three comments you won't use.
• Before you listen, read through the comments to prepare yourself for the sorts of things you will hear.
• You will need to listen out for attitudes, opinions, purpose, feelings, main points and details.
• Listen to each speaker carefully. You will sometimes hear things that are intended to distract you from
the correct answer, so avoid making quick decisions.
• Use your second listening to confirm answers you have already chosen and answer those questions you
weren't able to the first time round.

'They have been shopping' - he says ‘A pparently they've been shopping.’
How does he soften his statements in the other five sentences?

Exam guide: individual 'long turn’


In Part 2 of the First speaking exam, there will be two examiners and two candidates in the room. You
will be given two pairs of photos. You will be asked to talk about one of the pairs. You have to talk about
them for about a minute. The examiner will tell you what to talk about concerning the two photos.
I The examiner will say, for example:
X, I'd like you to look at your two photos and compare them.
Say what you think the people feel about being outside in these situations.
• You only have one minute so try to keep talking, stopping as little as possible.
• Try to use as wide a range o f vocabulary as you can.
• Make sure that you do what you're asked to do - here, for example, don't describe the photos but talk about
what you think the people are feeling and why.
j • Speak clearly and as confidently as you can - confidence always helps!

DEVELOPING WRITING

An essay about teenage life


1 Read the essay. What three things would the writer like his school to offer?

The school I go to has a clear aim; to help its students achieve the best grades they can so
WHAT C O U L D that they can leave school with the qualifications they need for the next stage of their lives.
S C H O O L S DO I expect this is true of most schools around the country.
While this is certainly a very useful intention, it doesn’t really take into consideration that
TO MAKE LIFE teenagers are more than just empty beings to fill with information. There are many more
E A SIE R FOR important issues that young adults need .to address other than just learning the facts. We
need help learning how to deal with conflict at school and at home. We need to be able to talk
T EEN A G ER S? about how our emotions affect us. We need to be given information about what opportunities
we will have when we leave school. Sadly our school offers very little help in these areas.
Of course, I know it’s asking a lot to expect schools to deal with all this on top of their academic responsibilities, but
there are things n e y could do to help make a difference. First and foremost I’d like to see a dedicated welfare officer,
someone on hand throughout the school day to talk students through any problems they might be facing. Secondly,
I’d love it if our school had a careers office, a place where you could find out what life is really like in the working world.
This would certainly be useful in helping us make more informed decisions when we leave. Finally, it would be good to
see a mentoring scheme, a system in which each first-year student has a ‘friend’ in one of the top years to show them
: around. This would help make the transition from primary school to secondary school a lot smoother.
I accept that a school’s role is primarily to educate but I’m sure that it wouldn’t take too much to implement these
■ ideas and make our lives just a little bit easier.

Write your review.

2 Read the model answer and underline ten mistakes. Then write the correct word.
The E v e re st File s by Matt Dickinson

The Everest Files is action adventure thriller for young adult readers. Its the first book in a series of three books and
it was inspired by Matt Dickinson's own climb up Mount Everest.
Ryan, an eighteen-year-old American, is on a gap year adventure. He is working for a medical charity in the Nepal.
A local girl asks him to find out why her sixteen-year-old Sherpa friend Kami never have come back from an expedition
up Mount Everest with a wealthy American politician. Some says he's alive and others say he's dead. Ryan, who is
determined and adventurous, can't resist the challenge. Kami's story takes place at the magnificent and terrifying
slopes of Mount Everest and it is very moving. The story is fast paced and there are some very tense moments.
One of the themes of the book is how climbers disturb the natural order of the Nepalese mountains and Mount
Everest itself is one of the main characters of this dramatic mystery. Another theme of the book is the importance of
showing respect for other cultures, and the author is dedicated his book to the three Sherpas who he climbed up
Everest with.
The Everest Files is very much exciting and the ending was unexpected. I really enjoyed to read it and I recommend
it to both girls and boys who like learn about other cultures and love adventure. I'm looking forward to the second
book in the series.
