penguin area. Please stay with your classmates
inside the zoo and don’t get lost! In case you need
anything ask me or one of the other teachers to
help. Don’t forget to take your note pad with you;
there’s a prize for the student who takes the best
notes on the day!
TEST 7A & 7B (Unit 7)
Speaker 1
I love my smartphone. I don’t know how I survived
without it in the past. It has everything. I can
access the Internet, exchange emails and
messages with my friends, get directions and, of
course, make phone calls. It’s a mini super-
computer in my pocket.
Speaker 2
My tablet is probably the gadget I use the most.
It’s so convenient. I can carry it anywhere and do
almost anything on it. I use it a lot for work,
especially when I’m travelling. But it’s not just a
portable computer that I use for work. I
downloaded my favourite books onto it as well.
Speaker 3
My Netbook is a life saver. I used to have a laptop
but it was too heavy to carry around. The Netbook
is much lighter. It’s basically the same as a laptop
but more compact. The only downside I can see is
that it only has a 12 inch screen which means it’s
not as good for watching films on.
Speaker 4

I’m not big on technology. Actually, I waited out for
a long time before I bought my first mobile phone
but now I don’t know what I would do without it. I
just use it to make and receive calls, I don’t need
my phone to do anything more. I don’t see the
point of these smartphones. Although, having said
that, I changed my mind about mobiles so who
knows what I will think in the future.
TEST 8A & 8B (Unit 8)
1 Woman: Thank you for calling Alice’s. This is
Megan speaking.
Man: Good afternoon, Megan. I would like to
make a reservation for next Tuesday evening
at 7 pm. My name is Thomas Holber.
Woman: Certainly. And how many people will
there be?
Man: Six.
Woman: Oh, I am so sorry, Mr Holber. I’ve
made a mistake. Next Tuesday we are closed
because the chef needs to take his mother to
the hospital. Let’s see. I have free tables on
Monday or Wednesday.
Man: I’ve got a meeting at 6 on Monday, but
next Wednesday is fine.
Woman: I do apologise, Mr Holber. Next
Wednesday at 7, six people, correct?
Man: That’s correct. And I have a question.
Woman: Sure.
Man: I ate lunch at Alice’s last Thursday, and
you had a wonderful chicken dish. Is that still
available?
Woman: Yes, but we also have a great range
of fish dishes. There’s even one with lobster.
It’s delicious.
Man: I look forward to trying it. Thank you,
Megan. I’ll see you next week.
Woman: Thank you for calling!

2 Last summer, I felt really awful. It was just
after I finished my exams and so at first I
thought that I was just tired from studying.
But as the weeks passed, I began to worry
that something was wrong, so I went to see a
doctor. The doctor examined me and did
some tests, but I wasn’t suffering from any
illnesses. Then he asked me about my diet.
I’ve never really worried about food because
I’m not overweight, but the doctor said that
my diet of junk food, takeaway meals and
cola was making me feel ill. He suggested
eating a healthy diet and doing a little bit of
exercise. Now I hardly ever eat junk food or
drink fizzy drinks and I go to the gym twice a
week. I feel so much better these days – I’m
glad I listened to that doctor’s advice.
2 I started at a new school last month. It’s
called The Tech Academy and it’s great! On
my first day, I didn’t really have any worries
about getting lost or not making friends, but I
was nervous because the Tech Academy
uses the latest technology in all their lessons,
and was worried that I wouldn’t be able to use
it properly. As soon as I arrived, my new
teacher gave me my very own tablet PC – I
had no idea what to do with it, but within
minutes my new classmates were showing
me how to use it. Having a tablet is actually
really great – it makes my lessons easy to
follow and my homework more fun. The best
thing about having technology around me
every day, though, is that I learn how to work
with it, which will be useful when I leave
school and get a job.

EXIT TEST (Units 1-8)

1 Jess: Hi, Anna! How are you?

Anna: Hi, Jess. I’m fine. I’m just getting some
vegetables for dinner. I heard you’ve got a
new pet.
Jess: Yes, that’s why I’m here. I need to buy
him some food.
Anna: What is it? Did you get a puppy?
Jess: No, I wanted a puppy but Mum said it
wasn’t a good idea. Puppies need looking
after all day, and my parents both work and I
go to school.
Anna: Yes, we wanted a dog too, but they
need space. It’s not right to keep one locked
in a flat all day. That’s why we have a cat.
She can go out by herself and explore the
city while we’re away from home.
Jess: Yes, cats are great pets, but I couldn’t
get one because my sister Lucy is allergic to
them – their fur makes her sneeze! We got a
rabbit instead. He’s so cute – you should
come over and see him sometime.
Anna: I’d love to! Come on, let’s find the
fresh fruit and vegetables and get him some
lettuce and carrots.
