 NOTES

Despite having communication in simple English during traveling situations as one of the
goals of the course, I thought it would be appropriated to have another test just to assess
their speaking skills. Therefore, this test is only going to evaluate vocabulary, reading
and listening.

The questions only have one correct answer. The ones in which students have to write
the answers (questions 1 and 4), they don’t get points in case of wrong spelling, since
the words are accessible in the box for them to copy.
