Exarniner's commentContent: The writing addresses the main pointssuccessfully.Organization and cohesion: Clearly organized andparagraphed, with attention paid to use of cohesivedevices.Accuracy: The writing is quite accurate, with a few slipssuch as the use of 'for' as infinitive of purpose, 'free fromcharge', 'and so (on)'.Range: The range of vocabulary is quite impressive('break down some cultural bariers', 'suit everyone\ tastes')and there are some fairly complex, well constmctedsentences, showing a range of grammar.Register: The register is appropriate for the context andthe student audience: the use of direct address ('you willfind', 'This will give you the oppoftunity') ensures a morefriendly, personal tone.Target Reader: Would be informed about the events ofWelcome Week and what to do in order to meet peoplethroughout the year.Mark: Band 4

In the exam, overJength answers are penalizedif they include irrelevance and/or have a negativeeffect on the reader.the writer's selection and use of the input materialThe writer has included all the input informationrather than selecting what is relevant. As a result, theanswer exceeds the word limit. It is not necessary touse all the input information for this task. In addition,he/she has lifted large sections of the input materialinstead of reworking it into original language. Thewriter has made only minimal attempts to expand onthe input material and add his/her own ideas: teg a good friend of mine and Why don't we include areyiew too?the appropriacy and consistency of the registerGiven the target reader - the secretary of the Arts club- any register would be appropriate as long as it isconsistent.

Listening 2: Multiple matching pase 1581Possible answersChild labour: In many developing countries, childrenare forced to work in poorly paid jobs, sometimes insubhuman conditions. This is usually as a result ofpoverly, and in some cases because they have beenorphaned by Aids. Some work in sweat shops, producinggoods for Western markets. This leads to children missingout on an education and the perpetuation of poverty inthe country.The World Day against Child Labour is celebrated everyyear on June l2th.Global warming: The build-up of carbon dioxide inthe atmosphere, caused for example by high energyconsumption, leads to a rise in the earth's temperature.This in turn can lead to a melting of glaciers and thepolar ice caps, and a consequent rise in sea levels,flooding and destmction to coastal areas.Whale hunting: This is still authorized by a smallnumber of countries, despite an internationalmoratorium and protests foom environmentalists. It isjustified either on scientific grounds or for commercialpurposes and to prevent the whale population fromgrowing too large and consuming huge stocks of fish.Human rights: On December 10, 1948 the UnitedNations proclaimed the Universal Declaration of HumanRights. It included the following:o All human beings are born free and equal in dignityand rights.o No one shall be held in slavery or servitude.o No one shall be subjected to torture or degradingtreatment.Violations of human rights occur throghout the World.'Women's rights: According to the Universal Declarationof Human Rights, women are entitled to the enjoyment ofall human rights and to be treated equally to men in botheconomic and social life.GM foods: Genetically modified foods, or GM foods,are grown from crops which have been altered throughbiotechnology to make them more resistant to insects anddisease. The most common GM crops are soybeans, corn,cotton and sugar beet and are mainly used in processedfoods or in animal feed.Supporters of genetic modification say that it makescrops more productive and can also increase theirnutritional value. Opponents point to the dangers ofcross-pollination, whereby GM crops can spread theirgenes to other plants growing nearby. While producerssay there are no health concerns associated with GM

She is clearlyhindered by the level of her language: she uses a limitedrange of vocabulary and her responses are ratherinaccurate.

. Janusz is clearly a stronger student. He develops hisresponses well, uses a much wider range of language, andin this part of the test at least, there are no inaccuracies.ParI2:. Long turn Page 165Task One2Comments .-a No attempt is made to compare the pictures. Thecontribution is limited to a description of the twopictures with a single, shorl comment on why they

might be checking the time. This candidate willprobably find it difficult to continue talking for oneminute, as he/she is likely to run out of things to say.Linking of ideas is limited to the use of 'because'.b Candidates often waste time identifying the picturesthey are going to talk about, rather than getting on withthe task. Students should be made aware that they willonly ever have to compare two of the three pictures.They should not, as this candidate seems to want todo, attempt to talk about all three. Candidates shouldalso avoid merely repeating information given in the' instrrrctions ('all three pictures show women checking the

time) or stating the obous ('This woman is an athlete).

c This candidate begins comparing the picturesimmediately, rather than merely describing them.Ideas are linked well ('both convey', 'the athlete, on theother hand', and'suggesting something unexpected hashappened') and there is an attempt to use a range ofgrammar and vocabulary.Task Tro2ComrnentsJanusz's language is very varied, particularly whenspeculating. He uses a range of modal verbs and otherstructures for this purpose:She might have realized, she may be phoning, she couldako be phoning, she\ most probably learning, she doesn'tseem to be, the little girl look as if she's watching.Howeve4 he fails to address the part of the task whichasks him to say'how much influence time might have intheir daily lives'. He seems to have forgotten this and thefact that the questions are printed on the visuals page,and he struggles to find more things to say.Ana, on the other hand, completes her task satisfactorily,though once more her language is not very varied. Sheopens with in this picture each time and her language ofspeculation is limited to the use of I think and maybe/perhaps with present simple or present continuous, orelse seem(s) to be. She searches for words, repeats orsomething (like that) and uses language incorrectly (egit's probable this is the mother, put her a new washingmachine, he seems to be concentrated).Part 3: Collaborative task Page 1662ComrnentsAna chooses the musician and the cabinet maker; Januszchooses the musician and the politician or journalist.Note that students do not have to agree in theirconclusions.They tentatively make their first choice after discussion ofthe third photo, and move towards making their secondchoice near the end of the three minutes. This is goodtechnique: students who decide too soon often str-uggle totalk for the full three minutes. In addressing the secondpart of the task'as they go', they are making it clear to theexaminers that they are working towards a conclusion.Interaction in this parl of the test is very good. Theyrespond to what each other says, sometimes inviting theirpartner to comment with a question: DonT you agree?What do you think? Really?

Part 4z Further discussion Page 1672CommentsIn contrast to Part 3, in this part Janusz and Ana havenot understood that they can and should interact witheach other. The interlocutor continually has to promptthem to respond to each other's comments, sometimesleaving a pause, which they fail to pick up on. At onepoint, Ana tentatively asks, Can I say something more?,showing that she is unaware that this is a discussionrather than a simple question and answer session. In herlast turn, she does respond to a point made by Janusz(I agree with you) but then limits herself to repeating thesame ideas that he has just expressed.Unit 13 Food for thoughtVocabulary l: Eating and drinkingPage 1681I thirst 2 hunger 3 food 4 drink 5 appetite eater7 stomach 8 mealUse of English: Word formationPage 1701 setting 2 diners 3 residential 4 revelations5 unwelcome 6 findings 7 overrated 8 enjoyable9 appearance 10 trainingWriting l: fnformal letters page 1702No. The writer has not made any attempt to reassureher friend.

Obviously is the barbecue difficult to take to thevenue, and it takes time to set up all the tables etc andtake all the food from your car. If you serve the foodtoo early some people may not arrive yet. If too lateand the children may get so hungry they start gettingtired and silly. So I would recommend to tell peopleyou will serve the food at, for example, 8 o'clock.Of course, for a barbecue, even in summe, you'll needa plan for if it rains. When I prepared it we hired asmall tent. In the end we neednt have it, but bettersafe than sorry.Third thing, you need to know how many people arecoming and if there are vegetarians. You can get'veggie burgers' for them. But dont go crazy with thesalads - it always seems the salad that gets thrownaway. It's so difficult to eat lettuce from a paper platewith a plastic fork - most people dont bother.Anyr;vay, that's all I can think of now, but give me a ring ifyou need anyhing. Just relax yourself and prepare it indetail - then you'll be absolutely fine and it will too!Dietmar

Examinerts commentContent: The writing is slightly under length althoughthe letter adequately covers the first two points (detailingyour previous experience and giving advice), moreattention to the reassurance section would enhance thecompletion of the task. Simply to say'relax yourself andprepare it in detail ... .' is not very reassuring.Organization and cohesion: The organization isappropriate and logical for an informal letter. Theparagraphing nicely reflects three different points thewriter considers important (timing of food, a bad weatherplan, preparing salad). Howeveq a number of sentencesare confusing or difficult to follow eg'If you serue thefood too eaily some people may not arrive yet.', 'In the end

Examiner's commentContent: The content is appropriate and each point isadequately developed.Organization and cohesion: The contribution for thebrochure is well organized, and good use is made ofheadings. It would have been improved by the inclusionof a concluding paragraph.The sentences are often tooshort and would benefit from linking.Accuracy: There are many errors, though these do notimpede communication - ('not stay only in big cities ...','even they can not speak any of your language!', 'whenyou arrived at station'). Punctuation and spelling aresometimes also at fault.Range: The range of structures used is too limited forCAE level, but the vocabulary is adequate and there issome good phrasing - ('traditional Japanese style B&B','good handmade souvenirs', 'share the taste with yourfriends').Register: The register is consistent and whollyappropriate.Target reader: The target reader would be informed, butdistracted by the errors.Mark: Band 2

Sample answerJapanEverybody says Japan is expensive. Do not believe it.There is a way you can spend only a little and go cheap.My advice is 'go countryside, not stay only in big cities'.Accommodation:Accommodation is generally expensive in Japan, butif you want to stay at traditional Japanese style B&8.called 'Ryokan' it would be cheaper than Europeanstyle hotels. Also, if you travel countryside, the Ryokanusually has its own hotsprings facilities. In addition,local people are so nice in countryside, they wish toffer you a free accommodation and dinne4 even theycan not speak any of your language!Transpor.t:Japanese public transpoft system is fantastic. it is notcheap. though. I advise you to buy a rail travel card inyour country before you leave. It will save you a lot.The fastest train called'Shinkansen' is the best way togo to countryside. When you arrived at station, thenyou can not find any bus service or taxies, ask localpeople. They will give you a lift happily.Food:Japan is a seafood lover's heaven. They sashimi orsushi. These are made of raw fish. Unforlunately,Japan is not a vegetarian friendly country because weuse fish soup in any food. basically.Shopping:You can find good handmade souvenirs in any localsouvenir shops. Traditional food would be an idealsouvenirs because you will be able to -share the tastewith your friends when you goe back to your country.Bv Etsuko Morita
