Big Band
Peler Datis rcports on fhe creaion of a veryt unusual epe of orchestra. Craig Hilton says it was a glimpse of a toy in a store window. Peter Keane remernbers the cover of a chilclren's book. Either way, sorne form of unlikely inspiration was involved when the two of them got ogether over dinner one evening in New York and dreamed up the Thai Elephant Orchestra. Wrat they didn't imagine was how successful their project would eventually become.
i.tl;,,T,,
What you can do is to starl with one elephant, mor.e
into a duet, and then bring in the drums. 'But,' says Hilton, 'it never goes quite like that. Often the
elephants either don't staft on time or they refuse to stop playing or a mallet gets dropped. I think that's one of the reasons why people like thc music. It's initially unsettling because you're used to centring in on one instrument and using that as a means of filtering out the other sounds. The elephant music is so random that you can't do that - anything can happen.'
It was still capturing their imagination in the cold light of morning. After all, elephants were already making their names in the art world as painters - elephant canvases can sell for thousands of dollars in the right galleries. If art, why not music? Keane booked a ticket to Thailand, and got out his sketch book to start designing the instruments. But what would work for the biggest ofbands?
Keane duly anived in Thailand and the two band leaders set to work. To their initial despair, some of the instruments were disastrous. 'If you put a flute in an elephant's mouth, it'll bite it in half,'says Keane. The drum pedals were a non-starter too, since elephants, it turns out, like to keep all four feet on the ground. And they didn't particularly take to the huge electronic
keyboard either.
The elephants do, nonetheless, need ways to make a living. Their numbers are plummeting norv that the logging work has dried up and their natural habitat is disappearing. As recently as 150 years ago, there were 100,000 elephants in Thailand; now there are just a few thousand. 'The possibility of returning them to the wild is nil,'says Keane. oThere's sirnply not enough wild there.'
illjlV,,,
I(}
The orchestra plays several times a day for visitors to the centre. And now the elephants even have a CD to ttreir name. Their first recording is an arty affair, with no overdubs or studio effects to leaven the sounds. But Hilton and Keane are also producing an easy-listening version for a wider audience. oI don't listen to it every
And the music sounded ... good. Surprisingly good, in fact. 'I was annazed,' says Keane. 'Personally speaking, as an unusual composer, I don't mind if there's cacophony in the music. If it's wild and woolly that's fine by me, but obviously *y preferences have made no difference to them. The elephants really do seem to like "pretty" llusic.'

Strange as it may seem, it really is like that, in a weird soft of way. And it really is more
Hilton reluctantly agrees with this. 'They

than, say, sea lions trained to honk car horns. Although the elephants are told when to start and stop, the rest is up to them. Actually, when to stop is also very much up to them, since it's hard to dictate such things to some elephants.
There is something uncomfortable, howeveE about getting elephants to do something so obviously hurnan. Hilton and Keane both feel it. 'It's not like they would be doing it spontaneously,' Keane admits. 'We ask them to do it. If people want to get offended fbr that reason, then I acrually agree with them. You don't want to have elephants mimicking human activities.'
But when Keane and Hilton tried out creations the elephants could blow into with their trunks or bash with a stick, the orchestra was bom. Lining up in a solemn row, the centre's elephants played metal 'thunder sheets' and harmonicas, xylophones and elephant sitars. They even managed an Asian wind instrument called a khaen, although they had trouble holding it.
In retrospect, the outcome of such an alliance

was inevitable. Hilton had always been obsessed with Asian elephants. Indeed, he's been working
Anything delicate could be ruled out. They would have to survive being pounded by 4-tonne rnusicians. Perfotmances would be out of doors and they would have to cope with sweltering humid summers, monsoonal
downpours and winter temperatures that could fall to just above fi'eezing. They would also need to sound good to the Thai ear - human as well as elephant. And above all, the elephants would have to want to play them.

elephants, but he does know music; the unusual is his forte and he's always up for a challenge.

It becarne apparent that it would take more than

mere imagination to turn the idea into a reality.
The finance to employ the local craftsmen needed to help out with the instruments was in short supply. At this point it looked as if the

Lights, camera, action man

Traveliournalist Richard Madden reports on his first trip with a camera crew. It was books that first captured my imagination about faraway places. TV travelogues always seemed the poor relation to the classic written accounts, although of course the pictures were rather better. And then there was the issue of authenticity. All those pretentious theatrical types dying of thirst in the desert, as if we didn't realise there was a camera crew on hand to cater for their every need. These days programme-makers know that the audience is more sophisticated and the presence of the camera is acknowledged. But can a journey with filming equipment ever be anything other than a
cleverly constructed fiction? I recently got the chance to find out, when I was asked to present two one-hour programmes for an adventure travel series. The project was the brainchild of the production company, Trans-Atlantic Films, which wanted the series presented by writers and adventurers, as well as TV professionals. My sole qualification was as a journalist specialising in 'adventure'travel. However, was thought to have 'on-screen' potential. The first programme was filmed in Costa Rica. Within 24 hours of my arrival, I realised that this was going to be very different from my usual 'one man and his laptop'expeditions. For a start, there were five of us director, cameraman, sound recordist, producer and presenter. And then there was the small matter of t100,000 worth of equipment. I soon realised that the director, Peter Macpherson, was a vastly experienced adventure film-maker. ln his case, the term'adventure' meant precisely that. Part of the brief for the series was to put the presenter in unusual situations and see how he or she coped. One such sequence was the night we spent in the rainforest canopy near the Rincn de la Vieja National Park in Guanacaste
province. I don't have a head for heights and would make a poor rock-climber, so my distress
is real enough as the camera catches
me
dangling on a rope some 30m up, well short of the canopy platform. lronically, was the presence of the camera, looking down on me from above, that gave me the impetus for the final push to the top. By this time, I'd learnt how'sequences'were cut together and realised that one last effort was required. I had to struggle to stay coherent while the camera swooped within a few millimetres of my face for my reaction. ln the end, it was a magical experience, heightened all the more by the sounds of the forest. Learning how to establish a rapport with the camera is vital and it took me a while to think of it as a friend rather than a judge and jury. The most intimidating moments were when Peter strolled up to me, saying that the light would only be right for another 10 minutes, and that he needed a 'link' from one sequence to another. The brief was simple.lt needed to be 30 seconds long, sum up my feelings, be informative, wellstructured and, most important of all, riveting to watch.'Ready to go in about 5 minutes?'he would say breezily. I soon discovered that the effect of the camera on what was gong on around us was far less intrusive than I had imagined. After a first flurry of curiosity, people usually lost interest and let us get on with our job. We were also flexible enough to be spontaneous. Our trip coincided with an 80 per cent solar eclipse, a rare event anywhere in the world. We were in a village called Santa Elena and captured the whole event on camera. The carnival atmosphere was infectious and made a welcome addition to our shooting schedule.

Coral Reefs
Over the ages coral reefs have proved exraordinarily resilient, yet sadly their health and, in some cases, their vuy survival is notv being threatened. Sue Wells and Nick Hanna explain.
A thriving coral reef is one of the most glorious

natural phenomena on our planet. For sheer colour and exuberance, reefs can arguably outdo any other natural habitat, and in the huge diversity and number of plants and animals they support, they are second only to rainforests. And yet, paradoxically, these 'rainforests of the ocean' are found only in shallow tropical seas where the nutrients essential to growth are practically non-existent.
Reefs have always been at risk from natural

catastrophes, notably, ferocious hurricanes. In normal circumstances, they are remarkably good at regeneration, but the continuous onslaught from human interference is now affecting their ability to recover from natural impacts. And although we can only speculate at present, it is possible that humanity has unleashed the greatest threat to reefs yet, in the form of increased sea temperatures caused by global warming.
on the planet. Coral animals, the remarkable little creatures that build reefs, are responsible for creating the largest structures made by life on earth - big enough, in some cases, to dwarf even the most ambitious edifices constructed by humankind. But this extraordinary ability is
no defence against the assaults suffered by reefs as a direct result of human activities. Sewage and toxic chemicals are pumped over them, silt from construction sites chokes them, soil run-off smothers them, and boat and cruise ship anchors smash into them.

Ironically, as reefs have become even more

stressed, their value to people has been thrown into
sharp focus. Since the dawn of humanity, the biological abundance of coral reefs has provided sustenance for coastal communities in the tropics, yielding a bountiful harvest of food as well as many other products as diverse as building materials, medicines and jewellery. breakwaters, protecting the land and coastol settlements from the violence of the ocean and providing natural harbours. They are an essential defence against rising sea levels, and if they disappear, artifcial replacements would mean spending billions of dollars. The very existence of coral islands and many of the sandy beaches so beloved by tourists in the tropics is heavily dependent on healthy reefs, which are, of course, an irnportant attraction in their own right.
Reefs are also invaluable as

C People have always been drawn to coastlines, as coastal plains provided fertile agricultural land, and the shallow waters above the continental shelf offered abundant fisheries. The pattems of settlement that developed posed few problems in pre-industrial times, but a combination of industrial Active reef restoration is perhaps most useful and cost-effective where there is a need to increase populations ofvery rare coral species, or to repair reefs in marne parks or in locations where a great deal of money is earned from tourism.

nowadays, even agricultural land, produce a range of waste products and efTuents. In coastal areas,
pollutants are habitually discharged into the sea and in many cases the impact on tropical coastlines is still largely unknown. Studies that have so far been carried out have often produced conflicting results, which can make it difficult to use the data to convince people that potentially harmful practices should be changed. The seriousness of the effect of a pollution incident depends on many variables, such as weather, and not just on, say, the size of a toxic discharge. For example, in open water and on well-flushed coastlines, pollutants are dispersed far more easily than in enclosed bays and lagoons. The world community is now well aware of plight of the rainforests and the threats posed the by deforestation and global warming, but the dangers that face marine ecosystems are not so well known. Over the last decade, though, enofinous advances have been made in our understanding of the problems facing reefs and in seeking solutions to safeguard their future. D
One principle increasingly being recognised in the battle to protect the world's natural resources, is that whoever is engaged in activities that could harm the environment, pays the cost. This is the case whether it involves installing equipment or technology to prevent pollution and other degradation, or to repair any damage that occurs. Ship owners, for example, are now often liable for cleaning up oil spills and paying compensation for
any damage caused.
Reefs used for tourism are most obviously of high economic worth, but it may be harder to calculate the worth of reefs used primarily for fishing (particularly subsistence fishing), unless detailed catch statistics are available, which they It is perhaps even harder to put prices on scientific or aesthetic value - solne remote and pristine reefs might be considered especially valuable now for their rarity value. Clearly this process is complex and the results present are variable and highly dependent on the at site in question, and the amount of information available. But it can provide an indicator of the conservation value of the reef and underlines the importance of preventing damaging activities.
are often not.
in reef management is to remove or at least minimise human causes of reef destruction, and to improve conditions so that natural regeneration of the reefs takes place as quickly as possible. It is most unlikely that a reef could be restored to its original state in anything other than a timescale of decades, but it may be possible for it to be helped towards a stage where normal processes can start to function. Large-scale replanting of corals has proved difficult to carry out successfully, largely because of the amount of diving labour required. When a reef is damaged by a hurricane, much of the regrowth takes place by regeneration of the broken coral fragments, but large numbers also die. Similarly, when a reef is being replanted manually, numerous fragments of coral have to be planted if a significant number are to flourish.

The volcanoes of Hawaii
0 00 000 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46
The Hawaiian island chain in the centre of the Pacific consists of severel
volcanoes with the active ones at the south-eastern tip of the archipelago.
The largest island is Hawaii itself, which is the site of two major active
volcanoes. The volcanoes, protected as a national state park are crucial for several types of agricultur. When volcanic ash cools and is exposed to weathering, it is converted into exceptionaly fertile soil. The Hawaiians utilise it for one of their main agricultural exports pineapples. The island
of Lanai comprises a single plateau, containing the worlds largest

pineapple plantation. The continual volcanic activity is also a major atraction for the hordes of tourists flocking to the area to see Hawaii's various spectacular geological marvels. But isn't it rather dangerous for them to do this Actually, a daily rumble is the least of the problems assosciated with volcanoes.
Far more worrying are thick clouds of volcanic ash or flows of lava, like those
that smothered the ancient roman city of Herculaneum, pouring down from
the mountainside in the night with a distructive, and totally unexpected, force.
Fortunately, Hawaii rarely witnesses such frightning occurrences. Jill Brooke, a leading expert in volcanoes, recently said, Hawaii experiences
thousands'of eruptions each year, but most are so small that they can only be
detected by sensitive instruments. There will eventually be a huge one, but it is almost impossible to predict when it will happenJ

LEAFLET
Wellington Campsite
The campsite, set in the grounds of a former country estate, is located on the fringes of woodland, with a picturesque lake only a bicycle ride away. The campsite was first opened in
1950, and has expanded snce then to double its initial size.
Outdoor activities, laid on by a team of enthusiastic young instructors, are always in high demand. By reserving a place on two activities, you can enjoy a third at 50o/o discount. Essential equipment may be rented but please note that campers use it at their own risk. The open-air heated swimming pool is open daily, but children taking advantage of this facility must
be supervised at all times. Dogs are allowed on the campsite, but they must be exercised off the campsite area. Cycling is
permitted on the pathways, but not on the lawned area or in the vicinity of the tents.
Every effort is made to meet requests for neighbouring ptches for families travelling together;
but there is no guarantee that this will be possible.

Fashion Designer
When I visited the designer Nik Hojin, he was in his studio at the top of a building in central Tokyo. He was surrounded by racks of clothes, and cutting and sewing machines; but the piece of equipment that dominated the room was a huge drawing table. The walls were covered from floor to ceiling with sketches, fabric samples and photographs of collections. There was no room to sit so we stood drinking coffee while he talked about his work. After an early career in Europe designing sports clothing and beach clothing, Nik was recruited by a company in Tokyo that made casual clothing for young people. However, within a few months of arriving in Japan, he left that job and joined the design team of Japan's most popular store group, who have a world reputation for outdoor clothing. But when they appointed him chief desgner of their formal menswear department, he wasn't sure whether he was going to like this change of direction; and though it has its compensations, he's still getting used to a completely different type of working life because there's a lot of travel involved. Nik is shortly off to do a tour of some specialist textile mills in Canada, followed by a visit to the USA to his company's main supplier of leather for coats and jackets. His job in the mills is to order cloth, and check its quality; but also to look at other aspects of the manufacturing process. His company is very strict about safety standards. He has to make sure no dangerous chemicals are used in the manufacture of the fabrics, and that the shirt cotton is given a flame-proof finish. On his first trip to the suppliers, Nik was impressed to discover that his company had ordered 7 million metres of cotton - an increase of 2.5 million over the previous year. An inspection team checks every metre of cloth for faults as soon as it leaves the weaving machines, by passing it over the brilliantly lit glass of a piece of equipment called a 'light box'. Though it's not strictly his area of responsibility, Nik also visits the factories that manufacture the garments. The company likes everybody who's in the region to do this as an exercise in public relations. lt's pleasant for both suppliers and clients to get to know each other socially. Nik described his first visit to the factory, and the satisfaction it gave him to see his clothes being made.

Prehistoric Site
ls everybody here? Right. Good morning to you all. Today we're going to be visiting the settlement of Santara. And here we are on the hillside, looking down the slope to a beautiful river which flows through the valley, past the ancient site. ln fact, it was this river, once called Santara, that gave the site its name. On our journey, we'll be travelling back to prehistoric times in these mysterious, unspoilt surroundings. And we'll be finding out just how significant this site was. First of all, we'll walk through the gardens, where we'll find over 300 species of rare flower and 112 species of tree from Europe and elsewhere. Seventeen of these trees are of particular interest for one reason or another, and I'll point these out as we go.
CAE June 2006 (0150) Our next stop is an outstanding area for observing wild flora and fauna. lt's an area of wetland, which was originally used as a source of a certain herb, which fishermen collected to keep their fish fresh until they were ready to cook them. Actually, this herb is still being used for this purpose today. At the foot of the hill over there, we'll find the Exhibition Pavilion, which houses ten major exhibits showing the development of human habitation in the area. Visitors in groups are generally taken round these exhibits by a social history expert. Of course, anyone who prefers to explore the pavilion individually can do so, but they should remember to follow the chronological sequence of the displays: in other words, follow the thread of history down through the ages. Now my favourite part of Santara is the reconstruction section. There, we'll find three dwellings from different periods of the past. They haven't been reconstructed on the actual sites where they were found - but they are based on the findings of excavation in the vicinity. I particularly like this section because it brings the past to life in a very dramatic, realistic way. Anyway, after that, we're going to go on a trail which takes us round the entire site. What made this site so desirable to people in the past was its perfect defensive position. The trail shows quite clearly the important defensive ditch which was dug out to protect the site further.
The artefacts discovered on the site, and nearby, prove that the area was occupied by Roman settlers over two thousand years ago, soon after their conquest of the country.
Our final visit will be to the demonstration area, where you can see expert technicians at work people who have studied the methods that the ancient people used for building boats and weaving cloth, for example. ln the school terms, children come to the riverside workshops to learn some of these ancient crafts; and, as you can imagine, it's a very popular activity. Now if you have any questions ... Part Three
Education lssues
lnterviewer: Today our thoughts turn to education. Schools have come a long way since our great-grandparents' time, but have they come far enough? Or is the British
education system still essentially rooted in the nineteenth century? To discuss this,
we have Dr Anna Pritchard from the Association for Progressive Learning, and Frank Johnson from the Society for the Promotion of Authentic Education. Frank, may we start with you? What does your organisation promote?
Frank:
Well, basically we press for higher standards and more parental choice in state education. We're not against experimentation, but we think that if you look at the research, it shows that the traditional methods work best. Whilst all the approaches that are in fashion now may seem great fun, we suspect that they're just another distraction and not what teachers should be doing or what parents and employers
want them to do.
lnterviewer: And how would you define what teachers should be doing?
Frank:
ln our view, traditional subjects such as Maths, Classical History and Latin and Ancient Greek have always promoted thinking skills, and that's what education should be concerned with developing. A good teacher gives his or her pupils a foundation of knowledge, and by using that knowledge the pupil automatically learns how to think rationally and precisely. lt's essential to have that solid foundation before you can indulge in higher order thinking skills.
CAE June 2006 (0150)

lnterviewer:
So, good teachers have always inspired learning skills in their pupils and there's no need to find new learning methods. Anna, would you like to respond to that?
Anna:
Well, I believe that good teachers have always known that in a class of say 30 students there will be a variety of different learning styles. We organised a survey
of young people themselves in January of this year and found that 56% said that the activity they spend most time doing in the classroom is copying from the board or a book. So clearly not all teachers are gearing their teaching to different learning styles...
Frank:
I wouldn't agree with you on that. (interrupting)
Anna:
Well, coming to our main project 'Learning to Learn', what new research from the States tells us is that there are at least eight different types of intelligence, from the 'people person' who needs to talk in order to take things in, to the 'musical person' who needs sound and rhythm as a backdrop to thinking.
lnterviewer:
So we shouldn't stop teenagers from having music on full blast while they're
supposedly doing their homework?
Anna:
It's not quite as simple as that. Music will help some but not all students. What we're advocating is that schools encourage students to explore for themselves the ways in which their brains work most effectively, and build up a classroom culture where they get a chance to choose their own style of learning.
Can you give us some examples of how teachers would do that?
lnterviewer: Anna:
One interesting way which I saw demonstrated earlier this week is to hold juggling workshops.
Frank:
Juggling! we're surely not teaching students to be circus performers, are we?
Believe me, there's a very serious side to this. when you're juggling, in order to keep three balls in the air, you have to use both the left and right sides of the brain, the logical and artistic sides. ln the schools I visited, the juggling workshop was integrated into a day of revision skills of all types. For those with a physical intelligence, juggling can prove helpful, as can physical workout sessions. You see, gymnastics can be useful for all students, as it alleviates stress and improves concentration. Afterwards, most students say they feel different, more awake and more likely to take in what they learn.
Anna:
Frank:
lf I can come in briefly here. The idea of turning education into a set of skills is very dangerous because it undermines the knowledge and content which are inherent in the traditional school subjects.
I take your point but I used to sit in lessons and look around and everybody's head
lnterviewer:
was down writing notes. That's not good education practice surely? Anna:
Note-taking is still important. There are lots of different ways from mind mapping to drawing cartoons. I saw a student the other day who was writing his history notes inside a large drawing of a chicken. A chicken! He was having you on!
Frank:
GAE June 2006 {0150) Anna:
I don't think so. ln fact, he'd completely replaced traditional note-taking with this way of recording for all his subjects. He said that by giving his notes an unusual framework, it helped him to remember the content for that topic. We need to be helping students find their best way to keep records, according to ther intelligence and learning style. This particular student obviously had a visual intelligence.
Frank:
I really can't believe training here.
that.
But anyway, I think we're confusing education with
Anna:
We're building up a theoretical understanding of how people learn and it's our duty as educationalists to try and put that theory into practice.
lnterviewer: There we'll have to leave it, I'm afraid ...

I'd always wanted to go, and with the discount they were offering it seemed silly to miss the opportunity, although money was no object at the time. I suppose it was cheaper at that time of year. But we thought that was an advantage because it meant there would be fewer noisy children around. Anyway, the real bonus was the numerous stopovers - a bit like having several holidays together. I knew I couldn't resist that! Actually, everything turned out to be comfortable enough, but I have to say that the meals got a bit repetitive and rather tasteless. That was the real let down. I'd try a different company next tme because of that.
SPEAKER 2
Well, it was marvellous really. Exactly what we'd been wanting. I mean, we didn't pay much attention to the night-life, just took things easy. lt was worth every penny it cost, just to be able to sit around in our cabin, especially on the little balcony we had, very nicely arranged it was, as good as a smart hotel room. I'd always liked the idea of a trip with everything laid on for you, so you could enjoy doing nothing in particular. There were quite a few families there, which I hadn't expected, but I suppose it's great fun for them.
SPEAKER 3
Mm, even better than we'd hoped! lt really is the best kind of holiday. All that fresh air! Well, it's true there isn't a great deal going on during the day, but then I was quite content to sunbathe the hours away or just relax in my cabin. The great thing was that, whenever you thought you might rather like a drink or whatever, there always seemed to be a waiter on hand, perfect, as if they could read your mind! We went hoping just to have as good a time as we had when we went before, but this one was even better... you almost didn't want to get to the ports and go ashore!
SPEAKER 4
Yes, I'm pleased we went. lt wasn't something that we'd ever planned to do really ... maybe just imagined we might go if we came into any money, or whatever, some day! But my colleague Nick and his wife went, and they said how sociable the atmosphere was, and that clinched it. And, it turned out to be just that. One thing we all had in common was complaning about the way dnner was served at exactly the same time every evening, which seemed strange. lt was far too early for

Paper 2: Writing An impression mark out of 5 is awarded to each answer; examiners work within and across the bands assessing language and task achievement.
The general impression mark scheme is used in conjunction with a task-specific mark scheme, which focuses on criteria specific to each particular task, including relevance, length, omissions, specific language/vocabulary, and layout (following the conventions of writing letters, reports, etc. is
part of the task achievement). The criteria for assessment with reference to the general mpression mark scheme are summarised as follows:
GENERAL IMPRESSION MARK SCHEME
Very positive effect on target reader, minimal errors: resourceful, controlled and natural use of
language, showing good range of vocabulary and structure. Task fully completed, with good use of cohesive devices; consistently appropriate register. No relevant omissions. N.B. Not necessarily a flawless performancel
Sufficiently natural, errors only when more complex language attempted. Some evidence of range of
vocabulary and structure. Good realisation
of task, only minor omissions. Attention paid
to
organisation and cohesion; register usually appropriate. Positive effect on target reader achieved.
Either (a) task reasonably achieved, accuracy of language satisfactory and adequate range of vocabulary and range of structures or (b) an ambitious attempt at the task, causing a number of nonimpeding errors, but a good range of vocabulary and structure demonstrated. There may be minor omissions, but content clearly organised. Would achieve the required effect on the target reader.
Some attempt at task but lack of expansion and/or notable omissions/irrelevancies. Noticeable lifting of language from the input, often inappropriately. Errors sometimes obscure communication and/or language is too elementary for this level. Content not clearly organised. Would have a negative effect on target reader.
Serious lack of control and/or frequent basic errors. Narrow range of language. lnadequate attempt at
1
task. Very negative effect on target reader.
Either
a) Fewer than 50 words per question b) Totally illegible work c) Total irrelevance (often a previously prepared answer to a different question)
lrrelevance
and Omissions: These will vary from question to question: consult task-specific markscheme. American spelling acceptable but there should be consistency. Poor spelling penalised by a one-band reduction if it interferes with communication.
Spelling: Handwriting: Length:
Work which is difficult to read is penalised by

depending on degree of illegibility.
a one- or
possibly two-band reduction
Specific number of words used is not taken into account (except as above under Band 0). Length is an integral part of task achievement. Significantly fewer words are likely to mean that the task has not been completed. Over-long pieces of writing may involve irrelevance or have a negative effect on the target reader. lf this is the case, over-length will be penalised.
Layout:
Following the conventions of writing letters, reports and instructions is part of task achievement. Any acceptable modern layout for a formal letter may be used. Paragraphs
should be clearly laid out, either by indenting or by leaving a space between each paragraph.
CAE June 2006 (0150)

ln Part 2, candidates have more scope to display ther linguistic competence and there is more latitude in the interpretation of the task. Ihe assessment focus is mainly on content, range, and style/register, with attention paid to how successfully the candidate has produced the text type required.

Script A
College Film Club
Introduction The aim of this report is to: 1) explain how successful the club has been so far 2) suggest ways in which the club could be improved 3) say how new members can be encouraged to join
The Fitm Club contains 30 members, of whom between 20 and 25 show up each week. It has helped those people to improve their English and give a lot of acknowledge on Britain and the USA. Also, the Club has managed to cover the costs, the first year. Despite the fact that the CIub has managed to cover all the costs, it needs more members. a'rr suggesting perhaps to organise the evenings less often, for example twice a month instead of every week, so that more people show up each time. Because the starting time is at 6:30 pm, usually dinner time, so a bad time for a lot of students, the Club could provide food. This in addition with a discussion at the end of the
evenings, can give the pupils the oppertunity to socialise with each other. Like this, members wilt feel more attached to the club and will consider themselves as a real member of a club.
To encourage the students to join the club, I suggest offering a free trial period for who wants, so that peopte can try the Club out before really joining it. Some more publcity can encourage students to make this first step.

Question 2 Script B The power of decisions - or which path to take next Do you often worry about what to wear? All of us have to make decisions every singte day of our lifes. Some of them are easy to be answered such as what earrings to put on. Nevertheless, we have to make up our minds.
In contrast, a few decisions are so vital that once taken, they can turn our lifes upsidedown, for example the profession you choose, I started to study law straight after school. Nevertheless, it was the best decision I have ever made to give it up.
When I started my studies, I was full of illusions which soon got destroyed. I realised year by year that I was not made to be a judge or a lawyer. Despite that fact, it was only when I failed to pass my finalsfafe exam that I finally found the strength to do something else. Snce then, I am a completely different person. I feel good again and futt of energy. My health problems simply disappeared. My self-esteem is rising day by day and I realised that although not good at doing law, I have many other strengths.
Of course,
why
happyness were at risk. Now,
I could have carried on by making a second try to pass the exam. The reason I did not do it was that the cost would have been too high as my heatth and

Question
Script
Dear Sir / Madam
I am writing with reference to Mark Owen's job appliance, I have been queried to write a character reference for him. It has been more than 6 years since I first met him. We have
been together at University as we had studied the same subject.
Firstly, Mark Owen has always been an exceptional student. He was between the best five. Actually, I met him when I decided to join an environmental organisation at school. He leaded it with a lot of energy. All his success come from his extraordinary power of persuation. That gift had helped him along his life. Moreover, he has supported more than 2 enviromental organisations which were, respectivelly, against the deforestation and pollution. His confidence in what was doing and his strength to follow no matter the consequences, show me his value. For example, once he has been to Brasil to visit the Amazon and he spend 3 months helping people to stop the cut of the trees. Furthermore, the fact that he really believes in what he is doing and all the enthusiasm he put on it, makes him a very suitable candidate for the job. Truthly, I must admit that he has something that involves you in his believes which is a very good quality to advice companies how not to damage the environment. Also, he works really good in teams.
I hope, that will clarify any doubt about his ability

Yours faithfully, Question

CAE June 2006 (0150) Question 4 Big Brother
Script
ridiculous.
have watched many reality W shows during fose last few yearst some of them more interesting than others, but I have to say that Big Brother struck me as being the most
In this show you have about ten people stuck in a flat for a couple of months without any contact with the outside world. They have to learn to live with each other; they cook, sleep, eat, bath in the place every day. And it goes without saying that all of this is fitmed
twenty-four seven. They have no privacy at all as people can watch and hear everything they say.
Why would people take part in something like this? Maybe because they tike the idea of making new friends, maybe it's a kind of personnal experience? They all leave the show saying they have learned a lot and saying they don't regret anything! It could also be because they want to enjoy celebrity for a while. Who wouldn't want to be famous?
In my opinion, people watch this programme for several reasons. For some of them, it can be a kind of social study. They want to see how people react in different situations, how they confront problems and realise that humans are still animals after all. For others, it is probably just relaxing. They like to watch it either because they |ike to critise or because they like one person in the programme and feel they ought to defend them against
accusations and support them.
As far as I am concerned, this programme is just repetitive and boring but I encourage people to watch to judge for themselves. The important thing is to stay critical.

Certificate in Advanced English Assessment Criteria for the Speaking Test
CAE is at Council of Europe Level C1, an advanced level where candidates are expected to have a 'good operational command of the spoken
language'.
The GAE Speaking test has five assessment criteria, four analytical and one global, which are applied in relation to lhe level of the examination and to the prescribed tasks: Grammar and Vocabulary Discourse Management
Pronunciation lnteractive Gommunication

Global Achievement
Candidates are assessed on their own individual performance according lo the established criteria and are not assessed in relation to each other.
The assessor awards marks for each of the analytcal criteria. The interlocutor gives one global mark for the candidate's performance across all
parts of the test.
Grammar and Vocabulary (Range, Accuracy, Appropriacy) This refers

1o the
accurale use of grammar and the appropriale use and range of vocabulary.
The CAE tasks require the candidates to know enough grammar and vocabulary to produce accurate and appropriate language, withoul
continual pauses to search for words or structures. This criterion covers the candidate's awareness of lexical relationships, and the ability to use a range of words rather than a reliance on a few well-rehearsed forms.
such;s
oilocation,
It should also be noted that different varieties of standard, educated English, e.g. British, American, Australian, etc., and registers, e.g. formal, colloquial, etc. are acceptable, provided they are appropriate for the contexl.
Discourse Management (Coherence, Extent, Relevance)

This refers to the candidate's ability to use an appropriate range of linguistic resources to organise sentences. The CAE tasks require candidates to construct sentences and produce utterances (extended as appropriate) in order to convey informalion and to express or justify opinions. Sometimes the contribulion will be short and at other times a more lengthy utterance will bs required. ln this criterion, the candidale's ability to maintain a coherent flow of language over several utterances is assesse-d.
Pronunciation (Stress and Rhythm, lntonation, lndividual Sounds)

ln general this refers to the candidate's ability to produce comprehensible ulterances to fulfil the task requirements. More specifically, this refers to the production of individual sounds, appropriate linking of words, word stress, stress timing, highlighting of words to indicate information or to enforce a message, and the use of contrasting pitch levels to convey the intended meaning.
It is recognised that, at CAE level, even in the top assessment band, candidates' pronunciation may be influenced by features of their first language. This is acceptable, provided communication is not impeded.
lnteractive Communication (lnitiating and Responding, Hesitation, Turnlaking)
This refers to the candidate's ability to interact in the discourse by initiating and responding appropriately, at the required speed and rhythm. lt includes the ability to use functional language and strategies to maintain or repair interaction. The ability of the candidate to display sensitivity to the norms of turn-taking is also assessed here. Candidates should efend their contributions without dominating or excluding their partner. A willingness and an ability to develop the task and move it towards a conclusion, rather than supplying minimal responses, is also rewarded here. Candidates are not penalised for asking for repetition from the interlocutor or clarification from the other candidate (as long as this is not excessive)' However, if the interaction breaks down and the candidate has to be supported by the interlocutor or the other bandidte, this is taken as evidence of weak interactive ability and is penalised accordingly. Global Achievement
tasks in the four separate parts of the test.
ln addition lo the analylical scales, there is the Global Achievement scale. This refers to the candidate's overall effectiveness in tackling the
CAE Typical Minimum Adequate Performance

Develops the interaction with contributions which are mostly coherent and extended when dealing with the CAE level tasks. Grammar is mosfly accurate and vocabulary appropriate. Utterances are understood with very little strain on the listeer.
The certificate in Advanced English is at Level c1 of the common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, teaching, assessmenf published by the Council of Europe. lt has also been accredited by the Oualifications and Curriculum Authority in the UK as a Level 2 ESOL certificate in the National Oua lifications Fra mework.
