Introduction
The
Switch into English Tests
are a comprehensive and complete set of photocopiable testing material.
They have been written to provide teachers with a useful and effective tool to asses the language progress of
their students.
Aims and structure
Each test is constructed to evaluate students’ progress in listening, reading and writing skills as well as their
knowledge of vocabulary and grammar.
Listening
part consists mainly of short and long conversations and the task is aimed at measuring students’
ability to understand simple information about familiar topics as well as the speakers’ attitude or meaning.
The recordings to all tests are placed on the
Audio CD 4
.
Vocabulary and grammar
sections comprise types of tasks students’ were acquainted with when using the
Student’s Book
and
Workbook
(eg filling the gaps, completing sentences, writing affirmative and negative
sentences) and focus on the target lexis and grammar structures presented in the particular units.
Reading
tasks check students’ ability to read and understand general meaning and specific information
in short texts, based on familiar topics and vocabulary (personal letters, short factual texts, descriptions).
Writing
part measures students’ ability to write short texts relating to basic aspects of everyday life
(description, personal letters, invitation) according to the given model or guidelines.
Types of tests
All tests are written in
A and B versions
and have been divided into the following categories:
•
Progress Tests
after each unit
•
Progress Tests
after every three units (1– 3, 4– 6, 7– 9)
•
End of First Term Test
after five units (1– 5)
•
End of Year Test
after all units (1– 9)
The two-page
Progress Tests
after each unit have been designed to check students lexical and grammar
knowledge as well as listening and reading comprehension and writing skills introduced and practised
in the unit. The expected time for students to complete the test is 45 minutes, depending on the level and
abilities of the learners. The four-page
Progress Tests
covering the material from Units: 1– 3, 4–6, 7– 9
are review tests, aimed at assessing the most important issues of every three-unit set. Students should be given
at least 45 minutes to complete the review test. If needed, the teacher may decide to devote two lessons
to carry it out. The same rule applies both to the
End of First Term Test
and the
End of Year Test
, which
are to examine the broad scope of students’ knowledge.
Scoring
Particular sections of the
Progress Tests
after a single unit have got the same number of points to score:
listening – 20, vocabulary – 10, grammar – 30, reading – 20 writing – 20, which makes the total score of 100
points. The recommended conversion key for the points scored and the grade to be given is presented below;
though it is the teacher who decides if this reflects the level and abilities of his/her class.
Points scored
Grade
100–91
5
90 –75
4
74–60
3
59–45
2
As a result of a greater number of tasks in the other types of tests, the number of points to score also rises
accordingly, and it comes as following: listening – 40, vocabulary – 20, grammar – 60, reading – 40 writing
– 40 and the total score is 200. However, to have only one conversion key, and not to introduce another,
it is enough to divide points scored and the total by 2.
There is no additional task for students who would like to receive grade 6. It can be obtained, for example, by
completing the test fully correctly (100 points) or by scoring nearly the total (98–99 points).

Temperatures around the world are rising. This is
called
global warming
. Scientists think that global
warming is caused by more greenhouse gases in the
Earth’s atmosphere. These greenhouse gases are
made when forests are burned, when cars burn fuel
and when power stations burn coal to make electricity.
The greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun and
make the Earth hotter. As the atmosphere warms up,
the ice in the Arctic and Antarctic slowly starts to
melt. The water goes back into the oceans, making the
sea level rise. If all the ice in the world melted, the sea
level everywhere would rise by more than 60 metres!
This would be a disaster for many people.
People can help the environment by walking or cycling
short distances, and taking the bus or the train on
longer journeys. This helps to reduce pollution from cars.
Governments can do things to help our planet, too.
They can control pollution by stopping chemicals used on
farms and in factories getting into the soil and water.
They can control the way land is used, too. Every year,
huge areas of rainforests are cut down or burned to
make space for farms. This is bad because it destroys
the homes of the animals that live there. Some
animals are now endangered. That means there are
only a few of them left, and they could easily disappear.
But governments can help to stop this destruction by
setting aside land where animals can live safely.
