The Stogovs' Summer Holidays
The school year was over, but Boris Stogov went to the school very often in June to work on the school (1). He and his schoolmates looked after different vegetables and fruit trees on the (2).
Lena went to a sport and labour camp. In the morning the boys and- girls helped to look after cattle on a (3) and after dinner they played games and visited interesting places.
Then July came and the Stogovs went to the Black (4). Nadyusha was very happy because it was her first (5) to the seaside.
When the family came back home, Vera Ivanovna said, "You, children, are going to have some more holidays. But they will be a little different from what you have had at the (6). You'll go to see your uncle in the country. He works on the collective farm and you can help the collective farmers."
"That's fine!" said Boris. "Now I can .work in a (7) field myself." (Answers key: 1 — plot: 2 — plot; 3 — cattle-farm; 4 — Sea; 5 — visit; 6 — seaside; 7 — wheat.)
When developing such a close test, as well as developing a close test to control listening skills, it is allowed to make changes to the base text. Students read the text twice. On the second reading, they fill in the gaps with the nouns being mastered in a given period of time. In the same way, a close test can be built, with the help of which students' proficiency in verbs that act as predicates is checked, as a result of which understanding these verbs is important for understanding the text as a whole.
Assessment of the quality of execution of all the above close tests can be carried out in the following way. For each correct answer, the student receives 1 point, for an incorrect answer or refusal - O points. If for his answer the subject chose not the word that needs to be inserted, but one close to him in meaning (and the word he chose corresponds to the meaning of the entire passage), then during the control of reading or listening skills he gets 1 point, and during the current control - 0 , 5 points, since such an answer indicates a high level of development of linguistic guesses, and not about the mastery of the lexical material being mastered in a given period of time. When assessing the quality of the test, the total score (which is obtained if all of the subject's answers were correct) is compared with the actual score.
All this shows the most suitable for secondary school conditions the possibility of using the close test in teaching a foreign language. As the above examples show, a close test in some cases can be an effective means of testing the knowledge, skills and abilities of students.
