Introduction to the PET Vocabulary List

The PET Vocabulary List gives teachers a guide to the vocabulary needed when preparing
students for the PET and PET for Schools examinations.

Background to the list

The PET Vocabulary List was originally developed by Cambridge ESOL in consultation
with external consultants to guide item writers who produce materials for the PET
examination. It includes vocabulary from the Council of Europe's Threshold (1990)
specification and other vocabulary which corpus evidence shows is high frequency.

The list covers vocabulary appropriate to the 81 level on the Common European
Framework of Reference (CEFR) and includes receptive vocabulary (words that the
candidate is expected to understand but which is not the focus of a question) and
productive vocabulary (words that the candidate needs to know to answer a question).

The list does not provide an exhaustive list of all words which appear on the PET and PET
for Schools question papers and candidates should not confine their study of vocabulary to
the list alone.

How the list is updated

The vocabulary of English changes over time, with words being added and other words
falling into disuse. In order to maintain its currency, the PET Vocabulary List is updated on
an annual basis, with the decision to add or remove words being informed by reference to
the Cambridge Learner Corpus and English Profile Wordlists.

The Cambridge Learner Corpus is a collection of over 44 million words of English, based
upon evidence of language use by learners from all over the world and from which the
English Vocabulary Profile has developed. The English Vocabulary Profile shows the
most common words and phrases that learners of English need to know in British or
American English. The meaning of each word or phrase in the wordlists has been
assigned a level between A1 and 82 on the CEFR.

A preview version of the English Vocabulary Profile can be accessed by visiting the
website: http://www.englishprofile.org

Organisation of the list

• Word sets
Some categories of words that a learner at this level might be expected to know, e.g. days
of the week, are not included in the alphabetical list but are listed in Appendix 1. Although
'grammar words' (pronouns, modal verbs, etc.) are included, the 'Language Specification'
section of the PET and PET for Schools Handbook (available from from
www.cambridgeesol.org) should be consulted for a more complete listing.

• Exemplification
Example phrases and sentences showing how words might be used are given only where
words with different meanings need to be constrained. For example, heel is followed by 'I
can't walk in high heels' -this shows that heel is limited to the idea of shoes: candidates
are not expected to know other meanings, such as the part of the body.

• Multi-word verbs
Multi-word verbs are not included in the list if they have a literal meaning and are
composed of verbs and particles already in the list. Examples of 'literal' multi-word verbs
are come into, sit down, as in 'Why not come into the kitchen and sit down?' If the meaning
of the verb is not transparent, e.g. find out, get along, give in, then the verb is listed and an
example of usage given.

• Topic lists
In Appendix 2, words have been grouped together under common PET and/or PET for
Schools themes, such as 'Food and Drink', 'House and Home' and 'Sport'.

Unsuitable topics

Cambridge ESOL examinations must not contain anything that might offend or upset
candidates, potentially affect their performance or distract them during the examination. A
number of 'sensitive' topics are considered unsuitable for use in PET and PET for Schools,
for example war and politics, and vocabulary relating to these is not included in the PET
Vocabulary List.

Personal vocabulary

The content of the PET Vocabulary List is general in nature and is unlikely to cover
completely the productive vocabulary that may be required by all candidates. Candidates
should know the specific lexis they will need to describe themselves and their lives, for
example hobbies, likes and dislikes.

Abbreviations

Abbreviations used in the PET Vocabulary List are:

abbrev abbreviation or acronym mv n modal verb
adj adjective phrv noun
adv adverb pi phrasal verb
av auxiliary verb prep plural preposition
Am Eng American English prep phr prepositional phrase
Br Eng British English pron pronoun
conj conjunction sing singular
det determiner v verb
exclam exclamation
