Bevezető
Az Oxford Exam Trainer és az érettségi vizsga
A 2017. tavaszi vizsgaidőszakra átdolgozott érettségi
követelmények szerint megváltozott az idegen nyelvi vizsga
nyelvi szintje, a vizsga felépítésének egy része, és a témakörök
is kibővültek a tizedik, Gazdaság témakörrel.
Az Oxford Exam Trainer, amely a középszintű angol
nyelvi vizsgára készít fel, a Közös Európai Referenciakeret
szerint B1 szintnek felel meg, és ezeknek a megváltozott
körülményeknek kíván eleget tenni.
A B1 szint
A tanuló B1 szinten megérti a fontosabb információkat
olyan egyszerű, hétköznapi szövegekben, amelyek gyakori
élethelyzetekhez (pl. iskola, szabadidő, munka) kapcsolódnak.
Képes külföldiekkel kommunikálni mindennapi helyzetekben.
Egyszerű, összefüggő szöveget tud alkotni olyan témákban,
amelyeket ismer, vagy amelyek érdeklődési körébe tartoznak.
Be tud számolni eseményekről, élményeiről, érzelmeiről és
törekvéseiről. Rövid magyarázatot tud fűzni eseményekhez,
jelenségekhez, indokolni tud különböző álláspontokat és
terveket. (az Oktatási Hivatal meghatározása alapján)
Témakörök
A könyv 12 fejezete az idegen nyelvi érettségi vizsgák mind a
tíz témakörét járja körül:
• személyes vonatkozások, család (1. fejezet)
• ember és társadalom (2. fejezet)
• környezetünk (3. és 12. fejezetek)
• az iskola (4. fejezet)
• a munka világa (5. fejezet)
• életmód (7. fejezet)
• szabadidő, művelődés, szórakozás (9. és 10. fejezetek)
• utazás, turizmus (8. fejezet)
• tudomány és technika (11. fejezet)
• gazdaság (6. fejezet).
A fejezetek egyes részei a témakörök más és más elemeit
tárják fel.
Az Oxford Exam Trainer minden fejezete a témakör
szókincsének átismétlésével és begyakorlásával
kezdődik. A kötet legvégén fejezetenként (azaz a
fentiek szerint érettségi témakörönként) csoportosított,
kétnyelvű szószedet (Wordlist) található.
A vizsga szerkezete
A középszintű (B1) idegen nyelvi érettségi vizsga írásbeli és
szóbeli részből áll. A sikeres érettségi vizsga feltétele, hogy a
vizsgázó mind az írásbeli, mind a szóbeli részben az elérhető
pontszám legalább 12%-át megszerezze.
ÍRÁSBELI VIZSGA
Az írásbeli érettségi vizsga 4 feladatlapból áll.
Olvasott szöveg értése
A vizsga első része azt méri, a vizsgázó képes-e a szövegek
gondolatmenetének lényegét megérteni, véleményeket,
érvelést nagy vonalakban követni és egyes részinformációkat
kiszűrni.
A feladatlap általában 4 autentikus vagy kismértékben
szerkesztett szöveget és 4 egymástól különböző feladatot
tartalmaz. A szövegek együttes terjedelme 1000–1200 szó, és
a feladatok összesen 25–30 kérdésből állnak.
A feladattípusok a megadott lehetőségeken belül évről évre
változhatnak. Ezek között jellemzően az alábbi feladatok
fordulnak elő:
• összegző mondatok egymáshoz rendelése
• párosítás, egymáshoz rendelés
• szövegből kiemelt hosszabb kifejezések, mondatrészek,
esetleg teljes mondatok szövegbe illesztése
• feleletválasztás
• igaz / hamis / nincs a szövegben állítások
• kérdésekre adott rövid válaszok
• hiányos mondatok kiegészítése.
Az olvasott szöveg értése feladatlap megoldására a vizsgán
60 perc áll rendelkezésre, és a helyes megoldásra összesen
33 pont szerezhető.
Az Oxford Exam Trainer minden fejezetében legalább
egy olvasott szövegértési feladat szerepel, és a kötetben
valamennyi jellemző feladattípus megjelenik.
Nyelvhelyesség
A vizsga második része azt méri, a vizsgázó képes-e
gyakran használt nyelvtani szerkezetek és lexikai egységek
felismerésére, kiegészítésére és létrehozására szövegszinten,
azaz rendelkezik-e azokkal a nyelvi ismeretekkel, amelyek
képessé teszik az önálló kommunikációra.
A feladatlap általában 3 rövid, autentikus vagy szerkesztett
szöveget és 3 egymástól különböző feladatot tartalmaz. A
szövegek együttes terjedelme 500–600 szó, és a feladatok
összesen 20–25 kérdésből állnak.
Négy feladattípus fordul elő általában a középszintű
nyelvhelyesség feladatlapon:
• szövegkiegészítés feleletválasztással
• önálló szövegkiegészítés
• szövegkiegészítés megadott szókészletből vagy
kifejezéskészletből
• szövegkiegészítés szóképzéssel.
A nyelvhelyesség feladatlap megoldására 30 perc fordítható,
és a helyes megoldásra összesen 18 pont szerezhető.
Az Oxford Exam Trainer valamennyi fejezetének
törzsanyagában két nyelvhelyességet mérő vizsgafeladat
szerepel, valamint egy harmadik feladattípus a fejezet
végén szereplő összegzésben is megjelenik.
A nyelvhelyességet gyakoroltató feladatokhoz kapcsolódó
szóanyag a fejezetek elején, valamint az egyes szövegértési
részekben; a nyelvtani anyag pedig a nyelvhelyesség rész
elején egy rövid ismétlés erejéig, valamint a kötet végén
szereplő, részletes ismertetést és gyakorlatokat is tartalmazó
nyelvtan mellékletben ( Grammar Reference) található.

Hallott szöveg értése SZÓBELI VIZSGA

A vizsga harmadik része azt méri, a vizsgázó képes-e szövegek
lényegét megérteni, gondolatmenetét nagy vonalakban
követni és egyes tényszerű információkat a szövegből kiszűrni
és megérteni.
A feladatlap általában 3 rögzített hangzó szövegből
(amelyben egy, kettő vagy több beszélő is szerepelhet), és
3 egymástól különböző feladatból áll. A szövegek együttes
terjedelme 6–9 perc, és a feladatok összesen 20–25
kérdésből állnak.
A feladattípusok a megadott lehetőségeken belül évről évre
változhatnak. Jellemzően az alábbi feladatok fordulnak elő a
vizsgákon:
• igaz / hamis / nincs a szövegben állítások
• párosítás, egymáshoz rendelés
• kérdésekre adott rövid válaszok
• hiányos mondatok kiegészítése
• ténybeli hibák azonosítása és kijavítása
• feleletválasztás.
A vizsgán a vizsgázó minden szöveget kétszer hallgathat meg,
a második meghallgatásnál megszakításokkal. A hallott szöveg
értése feladatlap megoldására 30 perc áll rendelkezésre, és
azon összesen 33 pontot lehet elérni.
Az Oxford Exam Trainer minden fejezetében két különböző
hallott szövegértési feladat szerepel, és a kötetben
valamennyi jellemző feladattípus megjelenik.
Íráskészség
Az írásbeli vizsga utolsó része azt méri, a vizsgázó képes-e
magát idegen nyelven írásban kifejezni, és a feladatokban
megadott kommunikációs célokat megvalósítani, képes-e
ismert, köznapi témáról részletesen írni és azokról véleményét
kifejteni, valamint hogy képes-e a szöveget megfelelő módon,
a szövegtípus sajátosságainak megfelelően felépíteni, tagolni
és megfogalmazni.
Az íráskészség feladatlap mindig két feladatból áll:
• interakciós / tranzakciós (80–100 szó terjedelmű) rövidebb
szöveg létrehozása, megadott segédanyagra reagálva,
három irányító szempont alapján, és
• leíró / véleménykifejtő (100–120 szó terjedelmű) hosszabb
szöveg létrehozása, segédanyagok és négy irányító
szempont alapján.
A feladathoz biztosított segédanyagok között előfordulhat
egy adott szituáció részletes leírása, rövidebb-hosszabb
szöveg (pl. felhívás vagy hirdetés, üzenet, levél vagy email,
blogbejegyzés vagy internetes hozzászólás), vagy ábra, kép,
grafikon vagy táblázat is.
A vizsgán a két szöveg megírására 60 perc fordítható, és a
feladatlapon maximum 33 pont érhető el. Az íráskészség
vizsgán egy- vagy kétnyelvű nyomtatott szótár használható!
Az Oxford Exam Trainer minden fejezetében egy íráskészség
feladat található, és a kötetben valamennyi jellemzően
előforduló feladattípus szerepel. A kötet végén az egyes
szövegtípusok jellemzőit ismertető mintaszöveg-
gyűjtemény (Writing Bank) található, a feladat megoldását
segítő tanácsokkal és hasznos kifejezésekkel.
Az írásbeli vizsga négy részét tehát 180 perc alatt kell
megoldani, és a maximálisan elérhető pontszám 117 pont.
A szóbeli érettségi vizsga tételeit az egyes iskolák tanárai
dolgozzák ki központi útmutató alapján. Az egyes tételek
vizsgázói feladatlapjain csak maga a második és harmadik
feladat szerepel. (A vizsgáztatói feladatlapra ezen felül a
vizsgázó számára nem látható további információk, kérdések
is kerülnek.)
A feladatok kidolgozásához felkészülési idő nincs, de a
második és harmadik feladat előtt körülbelül fél percnyi rövid
gondolkodási idő jár.
A szóbeli vizsga azt méri, a vizsgázó képes-e gondolatait
idegen nyelven szóban kifejezni, hogy milyen mértékben
képes mind önálló témakifejtésre, mind beszélgetésben való
aktív részvételre.
A vizsgafeladatokat megelőzően a vizsgáztató rövid,
legfeljebb egy perces terjedelmű bemelegítő beszélgetést
kezdeményez a vizsgázóval. A szóbeli feladatsor mindig
három fő részből áll.
• A társalgási feladatban a vizsgázó egy konkrét témához
kapcsolódó, szóban elhangzó kérdésekre válaszol (amelyek
a feladatlapon nem szerepelnek).
• A szerepjáték során a vizsgázó a mindennapi élet
helyzeteihez hasonló, reális, személyéhez és élethelyzetéhez
kapcsolódó szituációkban beszélget a beszélgetőtárs
szerepét játszó vizsgáztatóval. A feladat tartalmazza
a szituáció leírását, a szerepeket és az elérendő
kommunikációs célokat, és tartalmazhat képeket vagy rövid
szövegeket is.
• Az önálló témakifejtés feladatban a vizsgázónak általában
két egymáshoz valamilyen módon kapcsolódó kép és
megadott irányító szempontok alapján kell gondolatait,
véleményét összefüggően kifejtenie. A vizsgáztató szükség
esetén előre megírt segítő kérdéseket tehet fel. A feladatnak
nem része a képek tartalmának részletes leírása és aprólékos
összevetése.
A szóbeli vizsga összesen 15 percig tart. Összesen 33 pont
érhető el a három feladat megoldásával.
Az Oxford Exam Trainer minden fejezetének végén egy,
a fejezet témáihoz kapcsolódó teljes szóbeli feladatsor
szerepel – az órai vagy önálló gyakorlás céljaihoz
alkalmazott formában. A kötet végén található kifejezés-
gyűjtemény (Speaking Bank) az egyes kommunikációs
célokhoz kapcsolódó kifejezéseket sorolja fel.
Az érettségi vizsgára készen!
Az Oxford Exam Trainer legvégén egy teljes középszintű
érettségi vizsga minta-feladatsora található, amelyet a
tanultak összegzésére, próbavizsgaként használhatunk.
Eredményes felkészülést, sikeres vizsgát kívánunk!

EXAM STRATEGY
• Read the whole text to find out what it is generally about.
• Read each statement carefully to see what information
you are looking for in the text.
• A statement must match the sense of a paragraph.
You may find words or phrases from the text in a
statement, but it may not be the correct answer.
• Check that the remaining statements really don’t match
any paragraphs.
3 EXAM TASK Read the article about changing
your career. In which paragraph (1–5) can you find
the information (A–G)? One statement does not
match any of the paragraphs. There is an example
(0) at the beginning.
A It’s a job for very active people.
B It isn’t an easy way to see the world.
C It’s a highly competitive world.
D You can earn a lot of money doing very little.
E Do a dull job while you learn your skills.
F You need to be able to share your views.
G Be paid to find mistakes.
8 5 WORK
Ready for a change?
Fed up with your boring job? Want to do something
different? Take a look at these jobs and ;ind
out i; you want to change your career.
0 F I; you love ;ood, then being a ;ood critic is the job ;or
you! Imagine visiting restaurants, sampling dishes
and then writing articles about what you think o;
them. But although it sounds great, this isn’t an easy
option. You need to have a good background in ;ood
and nutrition and you need good communication
skills to write and present your reviews.
1 I; you’re ;earless and love sports like snowboarding
and skydiving, why not be an extreme sports coach?
It’s a dangerous job, but it will keep you ;it and give
you some excitement every day! In order to become a
pro;essional coach ;or extreme sports, you need to do
a training course. You also need to be an adventurous
kind o; person!
2 Would you like to be an actor? Then take a trip to
Hollywood. Get a part-time job, take some acting
lessons and see what happens. The part-time job
may be tedious, but afer all, Brad Pitt worked as a
chauffeur be;ore he became a star, and Johnny Depp
was a salesperson. Just make sure you go to a good
drama school and learn about all the aspects o;
;ilm-making.
3 Do you play computer games whenever you have
;ree time? Then why not become a computer games
tester? Testers are employed by development
companies and are paid to review and test the newest
games. Tempted? You need to have good computing
skills, as you’ll need to detect any kinds o; errors in
the games. You’ll also need a lot o; patience.

4 Work in pairs. Discuss the questions. 7 Look at these words from the article. Then use
each word twice to complete sentences 1–10.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to apply for the position of sales
assistant in your clothes shop as advertised on
your website.
I believe working in a shop will help me improve
my English and raise money for university fees.
Currently, I am a student at a secondary school
in Hungary, but I have already had some
experience in this kind of work. Last summer
I helped my uncle in his grocery shop in a
seaside resort. I operated a till and arranged
goods on the shelves. I believe I am a good
candidate for the position because I am sociable
and I enjoy working in a team.
There are a few things I would like to ask.
First, I would like to know if it is a part-time or a
full-time job. Could you also let me know
what the working hours are?
I look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Anna

How to Find a Job
Step 1
Complete your Curriculum Vitae. This is the document that
includes all your personal information, qualifications (e.g.
diplomas, degrees, etc.) and previous work experience. It
should also include the contact details of two people that
know you well at work or personally. These are your referees.
Step 2
Look at job adverts on the internet and find a job that you
are interested in. Download the application form, if there
is one. Then send it off with a covering letter which will
explain briefly who you are, where you saw the advert and
why you want to apply for the job.
Step 3
Wait to hear from the company to find out if they want
you to come for an interview. Then start preparing for it.
Step 4
When you are offered a job, decide carefully if you want to
accept it. Then sign the contract.
LISTENING 1 page 52
Hi, Terri. Err, I was wondering if we could get together this
evening. I’ve got some problems at work and I thought
you might know how to deal with them. It’s mostly our
new boss. It seems she really dislikes me, and I just don’t
know what to do about it. I mean, she praises people who
don’t do half the work I do, and she never says a good
word to me. I know you’ve dealt with something similar, so
… anyway, give me a call.
2 work with NEETS, which means people who are not in
It gets very busy, especially on Friday and Saturday nights,
and I end up rushing all over the place. I used to mix up
orders sometimes, which was a bit of a problem, but now
I don’t make many mistakes. Most people are friendly and
give me good tips. Occasionally you get someone who
complains all the time about the service, but then some
people just like to complain. You just learn to deal with it.
3 people we have helped have learnt the value of teamwork
I’m sure your listeners would agree that problems at
work aren’t only about the work itself. I’d say that nearly
everyone experiences personal problems in the workplace
at some point. The difficulty is that work isn’t only a place
where people work – it’s also a social environment, just not
one that you choose yourself. This means that you have to
deal with types of people that you wouldn’t normally have
much to do with. But there are several good ways to deal
with personal conflict in the workplace …
4
First, I’d like to thank all of you for being here. I know it
takes time out of your busy schedules, but I felt it was
important that we get together and share some updates
on the new training programme. As you know, we’re going
to use a new computer system soon, both for keeping
records and for doing our everyday work. I got to use it
myself the other day, and I think it’s great – clear, simple
and fast. But, of course we all need to learn how to use
it, so we’re scheduling a series of training sessions in the
coming months …
LISTENING 1 page 54
Presenter: Youth unemployment is a big issue across
Europe. Recent figures showing that seven out of ten
young people in the UK spend at least six months out
of work between leaving school and starting their first
job. Some young people can spend as much as eighteen
months looking for work. Joining me to discuss this is
Louisa Ward who works for a youth charity in the UK.
Louisa, tell us what you do?
Louisa: Well, we try to work with young people from all
backgrounds to help them find a job which suits them but
we focus on those who come from disadvantaged areas.
Those from wealthier families have more opportunities
to succeed, so they don’t need our help as much. But our
research suggests that less wealthy students, those who
don’t have much money, can really struggle to find work.
Presenter: I see, so you do most of your work in inner-city
areas?
Louisa: Yes, that’s right. We do have some agents in the
countryside but we don’t do much work in those areas.
Most of our work takes place in towns and cities. We
Education, Employment or Training. We try to work with
hard to reach people whose parents don’t have money for
the basic things in life, like food and clothes. We give them
chances that they might not otherwise get access to.
Presenter: What do you do to help them?
Louisa: We work with a number of different partners
including sports teams and businesses. So, some of the
and co-operation through rugby. For others, we have
found placements in large companies where they have
gained valuable work experience. These placements help
students get a feeling of self-worth.
Presenter: A feeling of self-worth? What do you mean
by that?
Louisa: Well, it shows them that they are important
members of the community. That what they do has an
effect on other people. They are part of something and they
grow in confidence. But that’s only one side of our work.
Actually, most of what we do is on a more personal level…

22 5 WORK

Presenter: I see, such as?

Louisa: Well, we give advice on writing CVs, interview skills,
dealing with work-related problems. You know, it can be
quite stressful if you’ve never worked before and suddenly
you have to be part of a team and have responsibilities.
Some people struggle to make friends or find it difficult to
respect the people in charge. We also work with younger
teenagers, encouraging them to stay in school and achieve
better grades.
Presenter: It sounds like you have your hands full.
Louisa: Yes, we are very busy, doing lots of different things,
but it is very rewarding. What we are doing is breaking the
cycle. We hope the kids of the people we are working with
today won’t face the same challenges their parents did.
Presenter: That’s great. Louisa Ward, thank you for joining me.
