5. Administration rules
During the Assessment cover all visual materials like, diagram, schemes, posters and maps
that can serve as prompts for the learners.
At the beginning of the Assessment read out the instructions and inform the learners about
the assessment duration. Remind learners that they are not allowed to talk with each other during
the Summative Assessment. After the instructions, make sure they have understood given
instructions and ask if they have any questions before the start of the assessment.
Ensure that the learners are working individually and not helping each other. During the
Summative Assessment learners should not have any access to additional recourses that can help
them, for example, dictionary, and calculator (excluding the cases when it is allowed in
specification)
Recommend learners to cross the wrong answers instead of using an eraser.
During the assessment you can answer learners’ questions, regarding the instructions and
the assessment duration. You should not spell, paraphrase or provide any information that could
give the learner an advantage.
If learners finish listening (reading) section earlier than 10 minutes they can feel free to
come to next section.
Tell the Learners to stop writing and put down their pens/pencils on the desks at the end of
the Summative Assessment.

All teachers use the same version of the mark scheme. During the moderation process it is
necessary to check learner sample papers with the marks awarded to ensure there are no
deviations from the standardized mark scheme.

Tasks for the Summative Assessment for the term 1
Listening
Task 1. Listen to the man talking about school.

Reading
Task 1. Read the text. Write True (T) or False (F) in front of each statement.
“Helping …”
If your friend has a problem, you probably try to help him or her. However, do you know
that animals also help each other?
In a film about animals, a zoologist explained that scientists were learning a lot about the
ways that animals behave. For example, he said that when he studied a group of dolphins, he saw
something unusual. Dolphins need air to survive, but one of the dolphins in the group was too
weak to swim to the top of the water. So, several dolphins quickly swam under him and pushed
him to the top of the water where he could get air. Then, they held him there until he was strong
enough to swim alone.
A scientist in Africa told another example of animals helping each other. The scientist
was watching a local elephant eating some leaves from a tree. Suddenly, another elephant
arrived. Animals often attack other animals that enter their territory and eat their food, so what
happened next surprised the scientist. The second elephant was hurt and could not get its own
food, so the first elephant pulled a small tree from the ground and put it into the weak elephant’s
mouth.
For that reason, there are some questions to answer. When animals help one another, does it
also improve their chances of survival or are they just being nice? These are just some of the
questions that scientists are still trying to answer.

Transcript
Author: School.
Most kids say they don't like school. They say their subjects are boring, or there's too much homework. In fact, school is one of the best times of a
person's life. Think about it.
The hours are short, usually just six hours a day, you have the opportunity to learn lots of really useful stuff. You get to do science experiments,
learn a musical instrument and play sports. On top of that, you get loads of holidays. Oh, I nearly forgot. You also get to see and play with your
friends five days a week.
What is there not to like? Okay, school lunches are not the best in the world, but you can bring your own lunch. And yes, exams are stressful, but if
you study you will do well in them. I'd love to go back to school. If I had another chance, I'd try my best in every subject.

Author: I love watching movies. At the cinema, on TV or on my computer. I'm a big movie fan and love
all the news of my favourite movie stars.
I like all kinds of movies - Hollywood blockbusters, black and white movies from the 50s, independent
movies... They're all good.
Recently I've got into watching foreign movies. I like the films that come out of Bollywood - they're very
different. The first film I saw at the movie theatre was Star Wars. I was amazed at the special effects.
Nowadays, so many movies have such good computer graphics that we forget how special the effects are.
One of my favourite ways of relaxing is to rent the latest DVD and sit on the sofa with a big bag of potato
chips. The sound has to be up to the max and the lights have to be off.

Martin’s vacation
Martin had a terrible day yesterday. It was the day of his vacation to Spain, but it was a
nightmare. He left the house at 10 o’clock in the morning and caught a taxi to the airport.
Martin went to the check-in with his luggage. When the man who worked for the airline
asked for his passport, Martin became very upset. Where was his passport? Martin realized he
didn’t have his passport with him. What a disaster!
He jumped back into the taxi and told the driver to take him home. The driver drove
quickly, and Martin arrived back at his house in twenty minutes.
He ran into the house and went into his bedroom. He found his passport on the bedside
table and left the house again. But the taxi wasn’t there! Where was the taxi!
4
Martin jumped up and down angrily. “I don’t believe it. The taxi left!” he shouted. He ran
down the street and looked for another taxi.
After a few minutes, Martin found another taxi and told the driver to take him to the
airport as quickly as possible. The traffic on the roads was very bad and, unfortunately, Martin’s
taxi arrived at the airport late. His plane left for Spain at 11.30 and Martin missed it. He was very
sad and went to speak to the airline. They promised to get him a seat on an evening flight and
Martin went home on another taxi to wait.

Obesity is a problem that is getting bigger and bigger around the world. It really hits rich countries.
When people have money, they buy a lot of the wrong food. They become lazy and eat fast food.
They also forget about exercise and sit in front of the TV instead. The worrying thing is that more
and more children are suffering from obesity. This is a big problem. The number of overweight kids
I see today is amazing. I think the reason is quite simple – junk food, video games and the Internet.
When I was growing up, I had a balanced diet. I also spent most of my free time outdoors. I spent
hours every day on my bike or playing football. Kids today hardly go outside. They are glued to one
kind of screen or another – TV, computer or games console.
