A2 Key for Schools Speaking testWatch the video of Luca and Federica doing an A2 Key for Schools Speaking test and read the examiner comments below.The Speaking test lasts 8 to 10 minutes. You will take the test with another student. There are two examiners.Part 1 (3–4 minutes)The examiner will ask you and your partner some questions. These questions will be about your daily life, free-time activities, likes and dislikes, past experience and future plans. For example, you may have to speak about your school, family, hobbies or home. The examiner will also ask you a ‘Tell me something about …’ question (for example, ‘Tell me something about the food you like’), and you should give a longer answer (say two or three things about the topic) with some detail if you can.Part 2 (5–6 minutes)In Part 2, Phase 1, you and your partner will talk to each other. The examiner will give you a task with five pictures on it related to one particular topic and will ask you to discuss these activities, things or places. You and your partner should talk about the different activities, things or places, saying what you like or don’t like about them, and giving reasons for your opinions. You can also ask and answer questions of each other. Then the examiner will ask you one or more questions about the activities, things or places.In Part 2, Phase 2, the examiner will ask two more questions on the same topic that you talked about in Phase 1.How the examiners assess your speakingThere are two examiners in the room. The interlocutor speaks to you, and the assessor just listens.As you do the test, the assessor listens to you and thinks about:Grammar and VocabularyHow well you can use grammar and vocabulary in the tasks.PronunciationHow clear your pronunciation of English is and how easy it is to understand you.Interactive CommunicationHow well you communicate with the examiner and your partner by asking and answering questions.The interlocutor focuses on your Global Achievement. This is about your speaking in general: how well you can communicate in everyday situations and how clear you are.1When your test is complete, the examiners give you marks for each of these things: Grammar and Vocabulary, Pronunciation, Interactive Communication and Global Achievement. The marks are for what you do over the whole Speaking test, not for each part of the test. The examiners give you marks for your own performance – they don’t compare you with the other candidate.Comments on the test videoPart 1Luca FedericaLuca gives good, clear answers to all the questions he is asked. His answers are almost all complete sentences, for example: ‘My favourite subject is English because I very like all the languages but English is the best because I very like America.’He does make some mistakes but his meaning is clear (‘I very like’ should be ‘I really like’).When the examiner asks, ‘Please tell me something about the homework you have to do’ he gives a good, clear answer, with a few mistakes, but he is easy to understand: ‘All the day I have to do my homework, and there are a lot of homework about math, Italian and English.’Although there are some words which are not pronounced correctly (‘ave’ should be ‘have’), his pronunciation is generally clear. Federica gives complete answers to everything she is asked: ‘I live in Buccinasco, a little town near Milano.’ ‘I eat pasta or meat or fish.’When the examiner asks, ‘Please tell me what you like doing at home’ Federica gives a good answer: ‘I like listen music, sing and watch TV’ but she could say a bit more about what she does at home. Although she does make some mistakes (‘listen music’ should be ‘listening to music’, ‘sing’ should be ‘singing’ and ‘watch’ should be ‘watching’), her message is clear.Her pronunciation is clear.Part 1 tips•Practise giving information about yourself (your name, where you come from).•Practise giving longer answers about your daily life, your interests, etc.•Try to answer the examiner’s questions with more than one word.•You can give short answers, but it is good to give some longer answers too.•When answering the ‘Tell me something about’ question, try to add more information or give reasons. Imagine you have been asked ‘Why?’Part 2Luca FedericaLuca answers his partner’s initial question and then he asks and answers questions with ease about the different hobbies in the pictures. He uses some Federica gives some information about a hobby she likes and then asks and answers questions easily.2longer sentences to do this. This is good, as he shows the examiner that he knows how to have a conversation with his partner or the examiner. Her questions are generally grammatically correct. She gives complete answers to the examiner’s questions during this part of the test, explaining her reasons for liking reading and computer games. This is good; she shows the examiner how much English she knows.Part 2 tips•Think about why you like certain food, places, music etc.•Practise by asking your friends and family what they like, and why, about a range of familiar topics.•Remember the examiner does not know how much English you know, so you have to show him or her by speaking a lot.OverallLuca FedericaGrammar and VocabularyLuca’s grammar and vocabulary are sometimes correct and although there are a few errors, what he says is generally clear.Pronunciation Luca speaks clearly and is generally easy to understand.Interactive CommunicationLuca interacts well throughout the test with both his partner and the examiner. He has no difficulty and requires no support at all.Global AchievementLuca communicates well during the whole test using questions and long sentences, without hesitation. Grammar and VocabularyFederica can talk easily and give her ideas about different things. She doesn’t make many mistakes with her grammar or vocabulary.Pronunciation Federica speaks clearly and is easy to understandall the time.Interactive CommunicationFederica interacts very well, asking questions and answering her partner’s questions.

Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "King Enterprises," she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to theman who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realised that the day''s work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.1. Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because _______.A. it was her first day in a new jobB. she was a little bit late for workC. she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong placeD. there was no answer from inside the office2. Marie could hardly recognise the office she went into as _______.[A> she had been there only once[B> Mr. King was not in the office[C> nobody was doing any work[D> the office had a new appearance3. The people in the office suddenly started working because _______.A. they saw a stranger in the officeB. they had finished their morning breakC. no one wanted to talk to MarieD. the boss was about to arrive4. We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise _______.A. would start their work by listening to a jokeB. were cold to newcomersC. were always punctual for workD. lacked devotion to the company5. The best title for this text would be _______.A. Punctual Like A ClockB. A Cold WelcomeC. An Unpunctual ManagerD.

It is a truly international commodity, and today more than 50 countries in the world grow coffee beans. (example) ______I_____. ICO organization helps coffee producers and promotes coffee conumption worldwide.ICO estimates that world production next year will reach 97.5 million bags.11.3 million bags higher than the current year. (8) ____________. As the largest producing country, Brazil is particularly important in the coffee world. In 1994 Brazil was responsible for 25% of world production, Colombia was next with 13.4%, Indonesia had 7.5%, Mexico 4.7%, Guatemala 3.8% and Ethiopia and Vietnam were equal with 3.4%.Coffee is a tough crop, and can be grown in areas where it is difficult or impossible to grow other crops. (9) However, disease is always problem for coffee production, as we can see in some parts of South America at the moment.ICO is active in educating farmers about avoiding disease and dealing with problems when they occur.The distribution chain varies from country to country, explains Pablo Dubois. In most countries the smaller farmers sell their crop to a local trader, who then sells it on to exporters. There are, however, other distribution systems. (10) ____________. Some countries, like Vietnam, have special government marketing organizations for coffee.Coffee prices often vary greatly from one year to the next. In 1997, for example, there was a large rise in the world price, which was immediately felt by the consumer. Rising prices always result in a drop in sales, which will have a bad effect on those developing countries, which are highly dependent on foreign exchange from coffee exports. (11)____________.In the opinion of Pablo Dubois, the biggest problem for his organisation is to create greater consumer awareness of the different varieties of coffee and different ways of preparing it.(12)____________. ICO is therefore concentrating its promotional activities on Russia and China. It is also encouraging environmentally friendly coffee production, and last year’s seminar on coffee and the environment created a lot of interest.The future looks bright for the coffee industry.

As a result, the membership now represents 94% of all exporters and 60% of all importers.B. In some of these countries, this can amount to as much as 50% of all export earning.C. In North America, most consumers already have above average knowledge of the range available.D. For example, frost and wind are particularly damaging to coffee crops.E.

This is because there is a demand for coffee in Germany, and it is also sold in the UKand in the US.I. This make the coffee industry fairly universal, according to Pablo Dubois, Head of the International Coffee Organisation (ICO), based in London.PART THREEQuestions 13-20Read the article below about stress management, and answer questions 13-20 on the opposite page.A Lesson In Stress ManagementDemands placed on us at work can often lead to considerable worry and discomfort. There are, however, ways of protecting ourselves from the stress we face at work. We interviewed Jane Collard, a consultant in stress management.1. In Jane Collard’s opinion, stress is becoming an increasingly common feature of the workplace. Stress is a highly individual reaction, which varies considerably from person to person, and it is difficult for some employees to avoid it. Indeed, stress is regarded by many as part of the organizational culture of our institutions: it comes with the job. Recent figures indicate that time taken off work because of stress has increased by 500 per cent since the 1950s. Undoubtedly, changes in working conditions have led to greater pressure at work at all levels. With reductions in staffing, workloads for individual employees have increased. In addition, many employees are left worrying about the security of their jobs.2. On the stress management courses that she runs, Jane Collard tries to make the trainees realise that stress in itself is not harmful. Everyone needs a certain level of stress to enable them to feel motivated and to perform effectively. A complete absence of stress can be as damaging as overstress, since it can make people lose interest in their work, and even lead to depression. The difficulties occur when the amount of stress rises above a level which is healthy for a particular individual. If this happens, the effects are very obvious and the trainees are taught to recognize the signs. Stress may be expressed physically, for example through headaches and tiredness, or through emotional problems such as depression. A person suffering from stress may also start to behave differently, and can be difficult to deal with.3. While it may not always be possible to prevent stress, there are a number of ways in which it can be controlled. The first thing that the trainees learn is how to manage their time effectively. This involves, first of all, setting realistic goals for both the short and long term. Once this framework has been established, tasks are then prioritised on a daily basis. The trainees are also reminded that when they are under pressure the less important items should be left, and they should never hesitate to delegate. Everyone is encouraged to look at ways of reducing ‘wasted time ’, for example by grouping similar tasks together or dealing with items immedkiately.4. Jane feels that one of the most useful features of the course is that it enables trainees to deal with those demands or deadlines that they regard as unreasonable. They are encouraged to avoid being defensive, but at the same time they are advised not to be afraid of saying ‘no’. They are asked to give reasons only if necessary. The training helps them to foresee difficult situations or unwanted demands, and they learn how to prepare themselves mentally. Everyone is encouraged not to get stuck in negative thought patterns, where stress can feed a circular sense of helplessness. One solution they discuss is to think of a more encouraging alternative for each negative message. They learn, for example, to remind themselves that nothing terrible happens when a demand is refused or a deadline missed. Life goes on.Questions 13-16For questions 13-16, choose the best title for each numbered paragraph from the list below.For each numbered paragraph 1-4, mark one letter (A-G) on your Answer Sheet.Do not use any letter more than once.A Higher stress levels among top managersB Coping with stress through a positive attitudeC Time lost at work through sicknessD Causes of increased stress in the work environmentE Explanations for missed deadlinesF stress reduction through better organisationG Typical problems associated with stress13 Paragraph 114 Paragraph 215 Paragraph 316 Paragraph 4Questions 17—20Using the information in the text, complete each sentence 17-20 with a phrase A-G from the list below.For each question 17-20, mark one letter (A-G) on your Answer Sheet.Do not use any letter more than once.17 Most people agree that the recent increase in stress is due to changes in ____________.18 The trainees are taught that the right level of stress at work is important for good.19 Trainees learn that one way of limiting stress is by deciding upon.20 One of the most important parts of the course is learning how to react toA levels of performanceB shorter deadlinesC employment practicesD higher levels of sicknessE unfair demandsF successful management structureG practical targetsPART FOURQuestions 21-35·Read the text below about job prospects at the Provincial Bank.·Choose the correct word A, B, C, or, D on the opposite page to fill each gap.·For each question 21-35, mark one letter (A, B, C, or D) on your Answer Sheet.Employment Opportunities for Graduates with the Provincial BankThe Provincial Bank is one of the biggest (example) ____________ institutions in the U.K. With its 1,900 branches and 58,000 employees, it has (21) ____________ a household name.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET 1 by drawing a thick line acrossthe corresponding letter in the brackets.TextIt was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "King Enterprises," she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to theman who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this washer first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realised that the day''s work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knewexactly when to start working.1. Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because _______.A. it was her first day in a new jobB. she was a little bit late for workC. she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong placeD. there was no answer from inside the office2. Marie could hardly recognise the office she went into as _______.[A> she had been there only once[B> Mr. King was not in the office[C> nobody was doing any work[D> the office had a new appearance3. The people in the office suddenly started working because _______.A. they saw a stranger in the officeB. they had finished their morning breakC. no one wanted to talk to MarieD. the boss was about to arrive4. We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise _______.A. would start their work by listening to a jokeB. were cold to newcomersC. were always punctual for workD. lacked devotion to the company5. The best title for this text would be _______.A. Punctual Like A ClockB. A Cold WelcomeC. An Unpunctual ManagerD.

It is a truly international commodity, and today more than 50 countries in the world grow coffee beans. (example) ______I_____. ICO organization helps coffee producers and promotes coffee conumption worldwide.ICO estimates that world production next year will reach 97.5 million bags.11.3million bags higher than the current year. (8) ____________. As the largest producing country, Brazil is particularly important in the coffee world. In 1994 Brazil was responsible for 25% of world production, Colombia was next with 13.4%, Indonesia had 7.5%, Mexico 4.7%, Guatemala 3.8% and Ethiopia and Vietnam were equal with 3.4%.Coffee is a tough crop, and can be grown in areas where it is difficult or impossible to grow other crops. (9) However, disease is always problem for coffee production, as we can see in some parts of South America at the moment.ICO is active in educating farmers about avoiding disease and dealing with problems when they occur.The distribution chain varies from country to country, explains Pablo Dubois. In most countries the smaller farmers sell their crop to a local trader, who then sells it on to exporters. There are, however, other distribution systems. (10) ____________. Some countries, like Vietnam, have special government marketing organizations for coffee.Coffee prices often vary greatly from one year to the next. In 1997, for example, there was a large rise in the world price, which was immediately felt by the consumer. Rising prices always result in a drop in sales, which will have a bad effect on those developing countries, which are highly dependent on foreign exchange from coffee exports. (11)____________.In the opinion of Pablo Dubois, the biggest problem for his organisation is to create greater consumer awareness of the different varieties of coffee and different ways of preparing it. (12)____________. ICO is therefore concentratingits promotional activities on Russia and China. It is also encouraging environmentally friendly coffee production, and last year’s seminar on coffee and the environment created a lot of interest.The future looks bright for the coffee industry. It is estimated that consumption over the next few years will continue to rise steadily. New markets like Eastern Europe and China are expected to develop fast.A. As a result, the membership now represents 94% of all exporters and 60% of all importers.B. In some of these countries, this can amount to as much as 50% of all export earning.C. In North America, most consumers already have above average knowledge of the range available.D. For example, frost and wind are particularly damaging to coffee crops.E. Larger coffee growers, for example, frequently export directly.F. The main reason for this is higher Brazilian output as production recovers from weather damage to crops.G. It is cultivated in mountain regions which can only be reached by animal transport, and in other difficult areas where modern agricultural equipment cannot be used.H. This is because there is a demand for coffee in Germany, and it is also sold in the UK and in the US.I. This make the coffee industry fairly universal, according to Pablo Dubois, Head of the International Coffee Organisation (ICO), based in London.PART THREEQuestions 13-20Read the article below about stress management, and answer questions 13-20 on the opposite page.A Lesson In Stress ManagementDemands placed on us at work can often lead to considerable worry and discomfort.
