TIP – Take more of an active role in this part of the
testing.
Mark students according to these four criteria:
Grammar and Vocabulary
(Accuracy and Appropriacy)
Discourse Management
(Range, Coherence and Extent)
Pronunciation
(Individual Sounds and Prosodic Features)
Interactive Communication
(Turn-taking, Initiating and Responding)
Give a mark out of five for each of these four
things. 
There are a total of 25 marks for the Speaking Test
as these four marks are added to a mark out of five
for General Impression.
When practising with the tests, try to give each
student some feedback relating to the four criteria
listed above (note any comments in their Student’s
Book on the Score Sheet, page 219), telling them
where their strengths and weaknesses lie.

TEST ONE
Now open your test paper and look at Part 1.
You will hear people talking in eight different
situations. For questions 1 to 8, choose the best
answer, A, B or C.
One: You hear part of a radio programme. What is
the person talking about?
A cooking
B weather
C gardening
M Of course, this is the time of year in England that I
enjoy most. You can be outside late in the evening
pottering around. It’s still warm and it’s not yet
dark. There’s a lot of work to do because things
are growing so fast but the air is fragrant with
honeysuckle and roses and you can already see
the fruits of your labours in the kitchen garden. 
Repeat
Two: You hear two people talking on a train. How is
the woman feeling?
A worried
B relieved
C angry
M We’re moving very slowly again now. It’s infuriating.
I’m going to miss my meeting if we don’t speed up
soon.
F
Yes, we seem to be late most days at the moment.
Mind you I’m not too bothered today.
M Don’t you have to be in at the usual time?
F
Well, I should be but we’ve got this rather awkward
visitor coming in and if I’m not there someone else
will have to deal with him. It’s not my fault if the
train’s delayed, is it. I’ll just ring in and sound as
upset as I can.
Repeat
