It is important to note that the book contains materials for practice; itis not «course book. The book aims to help pupils activate language taught previously, and to practise using it in similar situations that will arise in the exam. The material has been revised to take into ‘account the new GESE syllabus that came into effect from February |, 2010. AAs these are oral exams, the focus is on speaking ‘and listening. Writing tasks are strictly limited ‘and are there only to help students complete ‘a speaking task, or to remember language. There ore eight lessons. Each lesson covers subject for conversation from the exam syllabus. Lessons begin with a task to introduce the language or vocabulary item, which is then talked ‘about by students. A series of linked exercises help students to: © improve their accuracy; «© use the appropriate vocabulary for ‘the task; and © practise pronunciation. Listening tasks help students understand the ‘exam questions they will hear, as well as helping ‘them to practise pronunciation. ‘A Remember box summarizes what has been practised in the lesson and acts as a revision aid for students. ‘Typical questions and answers from the exam ‘are presented at the end of each lesson. You con find out more about the exam on page 24. To students Practise and you will feel confident in the exam. Remember to smile. Look at the exominer when you are speaking. ‘Answer the questions as fully as you can. Do not worry if you make a mistake. If you do not understand a question, ask the ‘examiner to repeat it. Say: Fm sorry, I don’t understand or Please repeat the question. Enjoy the exam.om ete TRC My name's What's your name? How old are you? fm How are you? Fine, thanks. “Take your book.
