These exercises are graded to elementary level to help students familiarise themselves with the exercise types. Page numbers where these ‘exercises appear are next to each task type. Most exams consist of a listening comprehension, a reading comprehension, grammar exercises/Use of Engish and (a) writing task(s). The New Success Workbook includes exercises that will help you to prepare for all these. Follow these to help you do particular task types. Listening comprehension | Generel gudeines ‘Aways + read the instructions carefully before listening to a recording for the first time. ‘Ty to predict what kind of information you might hear, * look at the questions and mark your answers when listening for the first time. ‘read through all the questions again before the second listening, in particular the questions you didn’t answer during the first listening. Don't * panie if you don’t understand everything. You don’t have to understand the whole text to be able to find the correct answers to a question. Try to get the main idea of a text and work out the meaning of words you don't know from the context. ‘spend too much time thinking about questions you are not able to answer - you can come back to those during your second listening, * leave any questions unanswered. If you are not sure ~ guess. You have a fifty percent chance of getting it right! In class, ask your teacher for the correct answers. If they differ alot from yours, listen to the recording once more to analyse the reason for your mistake, Exam strategies True/False exereises (0.g. page 17, exercise 2) ‘+ Remember that you will see the questions/ sentences in the order you hear them. * When deciding whether a sentence is true or false, take into account what you actually hear and not what you know or think * Assentence/question at the very end may refer toa speaker's intention or the general context. In general, itis important to refer to the whole recording, Multiple-choice exercises (eg. page 82, exercise 1) * Remember that you will see the questions/ sentences in the order you hear them. © While listening for the first time, make notes of suggested answers. Then compare them to the choices you have been given and choose the most similar, * Be careful with answers that sound exactly the same as the information in the recording. They are often incorrect. Pay special attention to synonyms and antonyms. * Sometimes the information needed to answer ‘a question is not directly given, you may have to work it out on the basis of what you have heard. If you are not sure which answer is correct, try to choose it by eliminating the incorrect answers, Matching exercises (e.g. page 17, exercise 1) * Ifyou have to find out who a person is or where a recording takes place, concentrate on typical phrases which relate to'the person or place. ‘Sometimes one characteristic phrase will help you choose the right answer. * Ifan exercise is about matching a passage/text/ headline to a summarising sentence or a title, try to summarise the main idea yourself and choose one of the given answers on that basis. © Ifan exercise is about deciding on the type of text, pay special attention to expressions that are characteristic to a particular type of a text. Sentence or information ordering (e.g. page 62, exercise 1) * Ifyou have to put events in chronological order, listen out for time expressions (and then, next, sinally, in the end...) * Ifyou have to put events in the order they appear in the listening, concentrate on understanding a sequence of events, Understanding a logical connection between them is not necessary to do this task. * Use your general knowledge ~ it might help you predict a logical sequence of events.EXAM STRATEGIES Reading comprehension General guidelines Always * read the instructions before doing the task. ‘The task will affect the way you read the text. * try to work out what kind of text itis ~ it may give you some ideas of what to expect. ‘+ read Key information first. A title helps to decide on a general idea of a text and the first sentence of each paragraph often summarises the whole paragraph. * underline parts of the text relevant to the questions (single words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs). Don't « try to understand every single word of a text. You don’t have to know all the words to answer the questions. You may be able to guess the meaning of new words using different techniques (guessing from the context, guessing a word based on its ‘grammatical form, similarity of the word in your own language) Teave any questions unanswered, if you are not sure ~ guess! Always check if you have answered all of the questions. * spend too much time on one specific exercise — your time in the exam is limited. ‘True/False exercises (¢.g. page 10, exercise 5) * Skim the text first to get a general idea of where the information is, * Different sentences will require different reading strategies. For example, you may need to focus on just one phrase or you may need to interpret the meaning of a whole text. * Ifyou don't find information confirming that a particular sentence is true, mark it as false. Multiple-choice exercises (e.g, page 31, exercise 4) * Identify the parts of the text that your questions refer to. * Focus on the detail of a paragraph or sentence. An incorrect answer may only differ from the correct one in the tense that is used, slightly different information or information that only partly corresponds with the text. ‘* Eliminate incorrect answers and then mark your final answer, Matching exercises (e.g. page 40, exercise 2) * While matching headlines to a text, pay attention to the main idea of a text. Always read all the titles first and then match them to the relevant parts of the text. * While matching questions to a text, try to find the right place in the text where there is an answer to a particular question. + Remember that this kind of exercise may include (an) extra sentence(s), so you will have to climinate unnecessary items. Gap-fill exercises (0.8. page 46, exercise 2) * Skim the text first to get its general meaning, ignoring the gaps. Then read the sentences or words which are needed to fill the gaps. © When you select your answers, pay attention to what i in the text both before and after the gap. Sentence or information ordering (e.g, page 86, exercise 2) © While doing this kind of exercise, try to find sentences or paragraphs which have to be placed at the beginning, Look out for expressions typically used when introducing a topic or a character. + Pocus on linking words (then, finally, reat...) ‘These words will give you a clue to the order. * You may not need to study a whole paragraph. Focus on sentences/words that will help you link sentences/paragraphs. * Make sure the last paragraphi/sentence suumarises the whole text or provides a logical conclusionWriting ‘You may be required to write a short, practical piece of writing such as a note, an email, an invitation, an advertisement and/or a longer, practical piece of writing, for example a formal or informal letter, a story or a discursive text. The Success Workbook will help you prepare for these Aypes of writing tasks. Remember that the exam. techniques that you learn even at elementary level will help you pass exams successfully in the future. General guidelines ‘Aways + read the instructions carefully ~ what kind of writing task is it? ‘read the information you need to include in your writing. ‘write a plan detailing information you want toinclude in each paragraph. If you have time, write a draft: copy or a few key sentences, ‘check that you have included all the information that is required. Use linking ‘words so that your writing is coherent and logical. * check your writing style have you used formal or informal language as required? * check (ifit is a longer text) that. you have anvintroduction, a middle and an end. Also, check that you have clearly defined paragraphs and that. you have the correct, number of words. * check your grammar and spelling. Don't ‘rite more than the word limit. Think about the number of words you need for each paragraph when you write your plan. + repeat yourself ~ try to use varied vocabulary and grammar structures. Speaking ‘The New Success Workbook will also prepare you for oral exams. The techniques below will help you to pass your exam successfully. © ‘Try to stick to the aim of the task. Always keep the question in mind when answering, * Do not panic if you cannot remember a word, Use a word that has a similar meaning or give a definition or description of the word. © Ifyou do not understand what an examiner has said, ask hinvher to repeat hinvherself. You can also repeat the information you have been given and, in this way, you can make sure that you have understood it correctly. * Ifyou are not ready with your answers and need time to think, use conversational fillers or hesitation devices (well, let me think, erm, ... .) ‘+ Avoid using the same words and structures — show that you have a varied vocabulary and can use a range of grammar structures, * Ifyou are taking the exam with another person, make sure you listen as well as speak — don't dominate the conversation, EXAM STRATEGIESFUNCTIONS BANK 6 Functions Bank Expressing interest (Unit 1) can swim: B: Can you?
