The children were tested on their reading and writing skills before and after the
experiment. Teachers found that after the experiment 58% of the children had
improved their reading skills and 38% had improved their spelling and writing
skills.
Teachers believe that the experiment shows how a poor diet with not many

Exam Tips
When you have finished writing there are a number
of things you should check.
First of all, read through what you have written
and check for spelling problems. Then look at the
punctuation.
Have you got sentences that are far too long,
or that need a comma?
Do the verbs agree with the subject?
Is your use of word order correct or have you
written in the syntax of your native language?
Finally, check your use of tenses to see if they are
correct and appropriate.

at Sea

A group of friends went on holiday to the South of France. The weather was
good, so the friends decided to rent a car and spend the day on the beach.
Jonathan kept the car keys in his pocket. Hours passedand Jonathan forgot he
had the car keys in his pocket. He went swimming, played beach volleyball and
sunbathed.
It was getting dark so the friends decided to go home. Jonathan went to
unlock the car door but he had lost the keys!
Swimming in the sea was a boy wearing a snorkel and a mask. Jonathan asked
the boy to help him find his keys. The boy dived deep down to the bottom of
the sea. A few seconds later the boy appeared holding Jonathan's car keys.
The friends were so happy and grateful for the boy's help that they bought
him a big ice cream to say thank you.

DOGS ESCAPE FROM RESCUE CENTRE


The mystery of the unlocked cages at a rescue centre for dogs had the staff
scratching their heads as much as the dogs scratch themselves.
Just how were up to nine dogs at a time getting out of their locked cages at night
and helping themselves to food and treats from the kitchen?
Some of the staff even wondered if they had a .ghost living at the rescue centre
who was letting the dogs out. To solve the mystery they placed a camera in the building to
see what went on at night. An hour after the staff had left, a friendly, wily dog of mainly
greyhound descent named Red, was caught on camera opening his cage, then going to the
other dogs' cages and opening them.
Red was a very clever dog, after watching the staff unlock and open his cage each
deJy to take him for walks and to feed him, he soon worked out how to open it himself.
It wasn't long before Red was able to open the cages of his 'friends' so that each night
they could all feast and play together while the staff were at home fast asleep!

'Wrong' (B)? If there is not enough information to answer 'Right' (A) or 'Wrong' (B), choose 'Doesn't
y' (C). For questions 21 ~27, markA, B or C.

MADAME TUSSAUDS
Madame Tussauds is a famous wax museum in London with branches in a number of major cities.
It has a lot of famous people made from wax. Wax is a solid substance that becomes soft when warm and
melts easily. It comes from bees and is often used to make candles. Many people visit wax museums
because the sculptures look like they are real.
A visit to Madame Tussauds wouldn't be complete without meeting the Royal Family. Dating
back over ten centuries, the Monarchy has played an important role in the UK, but rather than reading all
about it in a dusty history book you'll meet history's royalties face to face at Madame Tussauds! You can
plant a kiss on Prince William's cheek, or shake Prince Charles's hand.
Of course the late Queen Mother and Diana, Princess of Wales are here too looking as beautiful as ever.
Finally, travel back in time to the Tudor times. Ever heard of Henry VIII? He ruled England in
the sixteenth century and is mostly known for his six wives and for declaring himself head of the new
Church of England.

For questions 21 ~27,mark A, B or C.

Good sources of energy


People need energy so we can turn on our lights. use our computers. cook our
food, and lots more. Some ways of getting the energy we need for our electricity are better than others. There isn't enough coal and oil to last us forever, and
taking them out of the ground is bad for the environment.
The best sources of energy don't hurt the environment and won't run out. In
placeswhere it is often sunny, we can use energy from the sun. We can also
use water power from rivers and from waves in the sea. In windy placeswe can
use wind power. These sources of energy don't cause pollution.
We always have to be careful of the environment when we get our energy. For
example. we shouldn't put wind machines where we know lots of birds will be
flying, becausethey might fly into the machines. But if we choose the right kind
of energy in the right place. we will have good, clean energy for the future.

TEST 1
This is the Cambridge Preliminary English Test. There are four parts to the test. You will hear each part twice. For each
part of the test there will be time for you to look through the questions and time for you to check your answers. Write your
answers on the question paper. You will have six minutes at the end of the test to copy your answers onto the answer sheet.
The recording will now be stopped. Please ask any questions now, because you must not speak during the test.
[Pause 5 seconds.]

Part 1
There are seven questions in this part. For each question there are three pictures and a short recording. Choose the correct picture and put a tick in the box below it. Before we start, here is an example.
Example: Where did the woman leave her hat?
W: Oh no! What have I done with my hat?
M: You didnt have it in the cafe.
W: But I meant to wear it because I remember taking it out of the car with my bag.
M: Yes, I saw you put your things on the roof of the car.
W: Oh no! I know where it still is then!
[Pause 5 seconds.]
The second picture is correct so there is a tick in box B. Look at the three pictures for question 1 now.
[Pause 5 seconds.] Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear each recording twice.
1. How did the woman travel?
M: Im surprised that you drove all the way to Liverpool.
F: Well, actually I decided it would be better not to take the car in the end.
M: Oh really! What made you change your mind?
F: The train doesnt get stuck in traffic jams and I didnt want to be late to meet my sister when she arrived at the harbour.
[Pause 5 seconds.] Now listen again. [Repeat the recording.] [Pause 5 seconds.]
2. What time does the film start?
M: What time shall I come to your house?
F: Six oclock, so that we dont have to hurry.
M: That gives us a whole hour until the film starts, and it only takes ten minutes to walk to the cinema.
F: I know, but I thought we could go for a coffee first.
[Pause 5 seconds.] Now listen again. [Repeat the recording.] [Pause 5 seconds.]
3. What does the man eat?
F: Are you ready to order your meal, Sir?
M: Yes. Id like steak and chips please.
F: Im very sorry Sir, but weve run out of steak.
M: Oh, thats a shame.
F: The chicken is very good today and so is the fish.
M: Okay Ill have chicken and chips... Oh, actually, Im on a diet so Id better have salad instead of the chips.
[Pause 5 seconds.] Now listen again. [Repeat the recording.] [Pause 5 seconds.]
4. Which book is Jackie reading?
M: Are you still reading that history book Jackie?
F: Actually Im just reading something for fun.
M: Thats unusual for you. You always seem to be studying these days.
F: Exactly, thats why I thought a bit of poetry might help me to relax.
[Pause 5 seconds.] Now listen again. [Repeat the recording.] [Pause 5 seconds.]
5. Where did the man leave his keys?
M: Have you seen my keys?
F: Arent they on the table?
M: No, I looked there.
F: How about in your coat pocket?
M: Oh yes, they are probably there... Oh! No they arent.
F: Well what is that in your hand?
M: Oops, silly me!
[Pause 5 seconds.] Now listen again. [Repeat the recording.] [Pause 5 seconds.]
6. Which present did Mark buy?
M: I wanted to buy Jane a blouse but Im not sure what size she is.
F: How about buying her a nice scarf?
M: Do you think shed rather have that than a pair of gloves?
F: I think so.
M: Oh okay then.
[Pause 5 seconds.] Now listen again. [Repeat the recording.] [Pause 5 seconds.]

7. What will the weather be like tomorrow?


W: And now the weather. After a rainy start today, it will get brighter in the afternoon although it may be a little windy. However, this will
blow away the cloud during the night so most of us will wake up to warm sunshine.
[Pause 5 seconds.] Now listen again. [Repeat the recording.] [Pause 5 seconds.]

That is the end of part 1. [Pause 10 seconds.]

Now turn to part 2, questions 8-13.


You will hear a doctor talking about how people can live a healthier life. For each question, put a tick in the correct box.
You now have 45 seconds to look at the questions for Part 2. [Pause 45 seconds.] Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully.
You will hear the recording twice.
F: Most people seem to think that in order to become healthier, we need to go to the gym every day and eat hardly anything.
This, however, is really not the way to go about changing your unhealthy habits. Just a few, basic changes to our daily routine
can improve our health dramatically.
If you are the kind of person who keeps trying to exercise regularly but keeps failing, its time to think again about your attitude. Its
important not to focus on your failures, but instead be positive about your successes. Instead of being unhappy because you didnt go
to the gym five times last week, be proud of the fact that at least you went twice.
One good reason to eat healthily is that it could improve your mood. A recent survey has found that 80 per cent of people felt better
when they changed what they ate or drank. A quarter of them said their bad moods and stress disappeared. The greatest benefit was
felt after drinking more water, eating more vegetables, reducing sugar and cutting down on coffee.
Another way of improving your mood and reducing stress is to take care when you do things. If you start something, make sure you
finish it - even if it is a minor task. Doing so can make you feel happier. When you get close to achieving something, your brain sends
out reward signals that make you feel positive.
Finally you should make sure that you get plenty of sleep. Dont have too many late nights, although an occasional one wont do you
any harm. Without sleep, the brain cant work properly and youll get depressed. So look after your body and your body will look after you.
[Pause 5 seconds.] Now listen again. [Repeat the recording.] [Pause 5 seconds.]

That is the end of part 2.

[Pause 10 seconds.]

Now turn to part 3, questions 14-19.


You will hear a tour guide giving information about an old British house. For each question, fill in the missing information
in the numbered space. You now have 20 seconds to look at Part 3. [Pause 20 seconds.] Now we are ready to start. Listen
carefully. You will hear the recording twice.
M: Good morning everyone and welcome to Stonebridge House. My name is David and Im your tour guide. This morning Im going to
show you around this wonderful 19th century house which was the home of the Reynold family for more than 150 years, until 1975
when it became a national museum.
We are now standing in the main lobby of the house where you can see the magnificent wooden staircase that leads up to the
bedrooms. The servants used to sleep in the attic but they would have used a different staircase to this one.
Now if we go through to the dining room you will be able to see a fine collection of paintings. George Reynold was a big fan of
traditional art as we can see here today. George came from a military family. Surprisingly, however, he became a lawyer, even though
his father had wanted him to be an officer in the army. His younger brother also rebelled and became a teacher.
Now the Reynold family is famous for many things but probably most of all for the many family tragedies. The family has had more
than its fair share of early deaths. Georges son Michael died from cancer, his wife died while giving birth to their daughter Emily and
Georges brother had a fatal horse riding accident. George himself always suffered from a weak heart and he died of a heart attack
at the age of 52.
[Pause 5 seconds.] Now listen again. [Repeat the recording.] [Pause 5 seconds.]

That is the end of part 3.

[Pause 10 seconds.]

Now turn to part 4, questions 20-25.


Look at the six sentences for this part. You will hear a conversation between a boy, Simon, and a girl, Tina, about some
problems Tina is having at school. Decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect. If it is correct, put a tick in the box
under A for YES. If it is not correct, put a tick in the box under B for NO. You now have 20 seconds to look at the questions for Part 4. [Pause 20 seconds.] Now we are ready to start. Listen carefully. You will hear the recording twice.

Oh, everythings going wrong at the moment, Simon.
Oh come on, it cant be that bad. You know what they say; a problem shared is a problem halved.
Well, you must have noticed how all the teachers pick on me. I mean, they tell me off more than any other student in the class.
Yes, thats true, but they have good reason to, dont they?
No, they dont! I never behave badly in class.
Yes, but you never do your homework either, do you? And you never listen to what the teachers are saying.
Its not that Im not listening exactly. Its just that Im so tired all the time.
You should go to the doctor, Tina. There must be something wrong with you if you are so tired.
No, Im fine. I think its just that I go to bed very late.
What time do you go to bed then?
Not till about two oclock usually because I like watching the late-night films on TV.

Question 8 - Model Answer


This is an example of a very good answer.
Up, up and away!
I was worried about the journey. I had never been on a plane
before, you see. I was sitting in my seat holding the armrests
as tightly as I possibly could. We were about to take off. I
closed my eyes and hoped for the best.
A minute later, I looked out the window and realised Id done
it. Take-off was over and I was on my very first flight. Not
so bad, I thought, closing my eyes again.
But the next time my eyes opened, I wasnt on a plane but in
my own comfy bed. Oh no!, I thought. Now Ive got to do it
all over again!

Question 6 - Example Answer


Hi Jo,
Im writing thank you for the so nice birthday
present! The CD you did for me I like it so much!
It is all my favourite songs. Also I got a new
phone from my parents!
Thank you again,
Lawrence

Mark 4: All three points are adequately dealt with. In spite of minor errors ("the so nice birthday present",
"CD you did for me"), the message is clearly communicated with little effort on the part of the reader.

Question 7 - Example Answer


Hi Michael,
Thank for the letter. I answer you about my area. It is quite area with
some green trees and a park where I can play with my friends. I like it.
The only bad is to go to school on the bus - it take an hour!
With my friends we like to play in the park football or we like to just
sit and talk about our problems together. We help one and the other
with the problems or we laugh together.
How do you like to spend the time with your friends?
Bye,

Mark 3: This is an adequate attempt. While there are only a few non-impeding errors ("Thank for the
letter" "It is quiet area" "the only bad is" "it take"), the language, structure and vocabulary is rather
unambitious for the level. Some effort is required of the reader.

Question 8 - Example Answer


The big, long bus journey!
I was worried about the journey. We go by bus the whole
class altogether to the mountains. We go to a very beautiful place with a lake where we can do water sports and
swim but it will be a journey of five hours. It will be so
boring! It is a long time in the bus and we can sit down
with our friends but if a child is misbehaves it will stop
the bus. I was worried that it take seven hours and not
five and we are very tired. I bring a book to read and my
mp3 player to listen.

Mark 4: This is a good attempt at the task. The language is sometimes ambitious ("...and swim but it will be a
journey of five hours") and a good range of structures are used although there are sometimes mistakes in simple
constructions ("a child is misbehaves it will ", " that it take ", "...to listen.") or tense ("we are very tired", "I bring").
Overall, however, little effort is required for the reader to understand the meaning.

Question 6 - Model Answer
This is an example of a very good answer.
Dear Paul,
I hope you are well. I was wondering, would you
like to come visit me this summer? I think you
would love my home in the countryside its big
and it has a lovely flower garden. How about the
second week of August?
Write back soon,
Joey

Question 7 - Model Answer


This is an example of a very good answer.
Hi Melvin!
It was great to hear from you! Id love to tell you about Greece.
One of the most popular destinations in Greece is probably Santorini. Santorini is a beautiful volcanic island thats famous for its
amazing sunsets.
Theres lots to do on Santorini; you can go to the beach to sunbathe, swim and play beach sports. There are lovely shops there,
too, where you can buy nice jewellery and gifts. The problem is the
shops are a bit expensive. Young people like Santorini because of
the beaches and the great nightlife. Santorini has lots of places to
party!
Send my love to everyone,
Alice

Question 8 - Model Answer


This is an example of a very good answer.
My first job interview!
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I was so nervous
it was my first job interview. The door opened and a young woman
with a big smile on her face shook my hand as I entered the room.
She took me to my seat in front of three other interviewers. I
felt more relaxed now; everyone was smiling.
Then, in walked a tall woman and the room went silent. She wasnt
smiling. The boss, I thought. She sat down with the others and
the interview began. I took another deep breath
One hour and twenty five of the hardest minutes of my life later,
I had my first job!

Question 6 - Example Answer


Hi Amy,
Why don't you come and stay with me for a week this summer?
I live outside the city, near the sea, so is easy to go and swim
and we do this with my family every day. It will be fun!
Love,

Mark 3: Two of the content points are clearly communicated, and very little effort is required of the reader,
however the third point is omitted, preventing a higher score from being awarded.

Question 7 - Example Answer


Dear pen friend,
The most important of the places for the tourists to
see in my place is the very important museums the
museums are big and important and there are very
many of them around if you can have patients and
wait for them in line. I go to see them in the summertime and I enjoy them myselves. Also to see are
the cafes and restaurants to go and to sit and enjoy
in the summertime.

Band 2: The limited range of structures and vocabulary does not allow the task to be adequately achieved.
It is shorter than the word requirement, which limits the mark that may be awarded. Also, there are impeding errors in vocabulary ("patients", "myselves"), punctuation use is erratic ( "... important museums the museums") and there is noticeable repetition ("...place...", "...important...", "...enjoy...").

Question 8 - Example Answer


Give it Back!
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. But I knocked only
very quietly and no person came. I felt nervous an my stomach
hurt. My mother made me to do this because it is the house of a
bad boy at school who had taken my maths book. I think his was
lost.
My mother wanted me to ask for my book back, and to ask to his
parents too. Because my name was in my book everyone could see.
My mother was waiting in the car and watching but she wanted
that I do it myself.
I breathed once more and knocked again. The mother came and she
brought to me my book. The boy was embarrassed. So in the end, it
was good.

Mark 5: The writing achieves the desired effect on the target reader. Coherence and organisation of the
text is very strong. The structures and vocabulary used are ambitious for the level, and while there are a few
minor non-impeding errors, no effort is required of the reader.
