B Listen to these students answering the same questions. How are their answers better? 1
Examiner: So, were you disappointed when you didn’t get into university?
Student: Actually, I didn’t mind too much. I wasn’t sure that I really wanted to go to university anyway.
2
Examiner: So, working in advertising must be very exciting.
Student: Mm, yes and no. It can be quite boring, actually. You do the same thing a lot of the time.
3
Examiner: Are you nervous about the exams that you’re taking next month?
Student: I’m quite looking forward to them, actually. I quite like doing exams.
4
Examiner: What did you think of London? Did you get confused travelling around on the tube?

A Listen and match each speaker with a feeling below. 1 I just can’t believe you did that when I specifically told you not to. When I say ‘DON’T DO something’, LISTEN and DON’T do it. Now, you’re not going to watch any TV for the rest of the day.
2 No, I’m really sorry. I’ve thought about it, and I just can’t do it. I’m really proud that you asked me, but speaking in front of that many people terrifies me. I’m really sorry, but you’ll just have to ask somebody else.
3 Oh, no. Josh has just phoned to say the barbecue has been cancelled. Apparently, he’s not feeling very well. I was really looking forward to it, too – now what

4 Oh, I can’t do this. I’ve been trying for hours, and it just doesn’t make sense. Look, every time I do this, this happens. Do you know why?

≤117 Unit 10 Review 2 –Writing
A Look at the interviewer’s first question and then listen to the first part of the interview. Mark these statements (T) true, (F) false or (NG) not given. Examiner: Well, the first composition is completely different. I think it’s fair to say that the General Training writing exam is easier. In the Academic exam, students need to look at a graph or chart and then explain what they see. They need to learn how to use a very specific type of academic language. In the General Training exam, they write a letter. It is usually formal, but it can be informal. Of course, they must learn how to write various types of letter, but generally it is an easier task. The second composition is similar in both versions of the exam. It involves discussing a topic or agreeing or disagreeing with a statement. In the General exam, the topic may be a little more general – about a social issue, for example. In the Academic exam, the topic can be more academic – discussing technology or space travel, for example. Students taking the General Training Module often find the second composition much more difficult than the first.
≤118 Unit 10 Review 2 –Writing
B Look at the interviewer’s second question and then listen to the second part of the interview. Put the points into the order in which you hear them. Examiner: Well, there are quite a lot of different things to look for and, of course, it depends on the level of the student who’s writing. I can quickly see if the composition is written by a student with a lower level of English, or if it’s been written by a very advanced learner. I need to look for different things then, so I can decide what grade to give. However, there are certain aspects of a composition that are very important – in fact, essential – and that is the same for any student who takes the exam. Firstly, what the student writes must be relevant to the question – it doesn’t matter how well written a composition is, if it doesn’t answer the question, it won’t pass. Then there’s the word count – the letter must be at least a hundred and fifty words, and the second composition two hundred and fifty. Sometimes a student writes very well but just doesn’t say enough,
