EXAM STRATEGIES
T}re Success Workbook, provides practice with
exercise types fcund in exams including PET, KET,
fCE and Ttinity. These exercises are graded to
elementary level to help students familiarise
themselves with the exercise t;,pes. Page numbers
where these exercises appear are next to each task
type. Most exams consist of a listening
comprehension, a reading comprehension,
grarrunar exercises/Use of Engiish and (a) w'rithg
task(s). The Szr,cces s Workbook includes exercises
that will help you to prepare for all these. f'ollow
these to help you do particular task types.
Listening comprehension
General guidelines
Always
. ,"ud the instructions carefully before
Iisterung to a recording for the first time.
Tty to predict what kind of lrformalion you
mioht henr
. look at the questions and mark your ans\\ers
when listening lor the lirst 1ime.
. read through all the questions again before
the second lislening. in parlicular, Lhe
queslions you didn'L answer cluring lhe tirst
tistening.
Don't
. panic if you don't understand every4hing. You
don'l have to undersland the whole texl Lo
be able to llLrd the correct answers to a
question. Try Lo get the main idea ol a text
and work oul Lhe meaning of words you don't
know from the context.
. spend too much time LhirLking about
questions you ale nol able lo answer - you
can come back to those during your second
IisLening.
r leave any questions unanswered. If you are
nol sure - guess. You have a fifty percent
chance of getting it righi! [n class, ask your
teacher l"or the correcl answers. If they difler
a lot from yours, listen lo the recording once
more Lo analyse the reason for your mistake.
Tbue/False exercises (page 15, exercise 3)
. Remember that 1-ou uill hear the questions/
sentences in the order 1-ou hear them.
o When deciding lvhether a sentence is true or
false, take into account n-hat 1-ou actualiy hear
and not what you knou- or think.
r A sentence/question at the r-er1- end may refer to
a speaker's intention or the general context. In
general, it is important to refer to the rvhole
recording.
Multiple-choice exercises
(page 30, exercise 1)
. Remember that you wiil hear lhe questlonsi
sentences in the order you hear them.
r While listening for the first time, make noies of
suggested answers. Then compare them to the
choices you have been given and choose the
most similar.
. Be careful with answ-ers that sound exactl;i the
same as the information in the recorcling. The5.
are often incorrect. Pay special attention to
ills -'^J
s) n(')il) allu anton.)'ms.
--+.
r Sometimes the information needed to answer a
question is not directly given, you may have to
u.ork it out on lhe basis of what you have heard.
If you are not sure which answer is correct, try
to choose it by eliminating the incorrect answers.
Matching exercises (page 80, exercise 1)
. If you have to find out who a person is or where
a recording takes place, concentrate on typical
phrases which relate to the person or p1ace.
Sometimes one characteristic phrase will help
you choose the right answer.
r If an exercise is about matching a passage/text/
headline to a summarising sentence or a title, try
to summarise the main idea yourself and choose
one of the given answers on that basis.
. If an exercise is about deciding on the type of
text, pay special attention to expressions that
are characteristic to a particular type of a text.
Sentence or information ordering
(page 60, exercise 1)
. If you have to put events in chronological order,
llsten out for time expressions (o,nd tlten, nert,
Ji,naLLy, in the end ...).
. Ifyou have to put events in the order they
appear in the listening, concentrate on
understanding a sequence of events.
Understanding a logical connection between
them is not necessary to do this task.
o Use your general knowledge - it might help you
predict a logical sequence of events.
I
 Reading comprehension Multiple choice exercises
(page B, exercise 1)
. Identi{y the parts of the text that your questions
MI r
refer to.
Focus on the detail of a paragraph or sentence'
An incorrect answer may only differ from the
correct one in the tense that is used, slightly
different information or information that only
partly corresponds with the text.
. Eiiminate incorrect answers and then mark your
final answer.

Matching exercises (page 53, exercise 2)

. While matching headlines to a text, pay attention
to the main idea of a text. Always read all the
titles first and then match them to the relevant
parts of the text.
While matching questions to a text, try to find
the right place in the text where there is an
answer to a particular question.
Remember that this kind of exercise may include
(an) extra sentence(s), so you will have to
eliminate unnecessary items.

Gap-fill exercises (page 38, exercise 2)

# . Skim the text first to get its general meaning,
I' ignoring the gaps. Then read the sentences or
l
,,::,,tt::*. words which are needed to fill the gaps.

what is in the text both before and after the gap.

Writing
You may be required to write a short, practical
piece of writing such as a note, an email,
an invitation, an advertisement and,ior a longer,
practical piece of nriting, for example a formal or
informal letter, a story or a discursive text. The
Success Workbook will help you prepare for these
types of writing tasks. Remember that the exam
techniques that you learn even at elementary level
will help you pass exams successfully in the future.
Speaking
The Success Workbook will also prepare you for
oral exams. The techniques below will help you to
pass your exam successfully.
. Try to stick to the aim of the task. Always keep
the question in mind when answering.
. Do not panic if you cannot remember a word.
Use a word that has a similar meaning or give a
definition or description of the word.
o If you do not understand what an examiner has
said, ask hjm/trer to repeat him,4rerself. You can
also repeat the information you have been given
and, in this way, you can make sure that you
have understood it correctly.
o If you are not ready with your answers and need
time to think, use conversational fillers or
hesitation devices (weII, Let me thi,nk, erm, ... )
r Avoid using the same words and structures -
show that you have a varied vocabulary and can
use a range of grammar structures.
o If you are taking the exam with another person,
make sure you listen as well as speak - don't
dominate the conversation.

The singer Charlotte Church was born in Cardiff,

aunt on TV's Btg Big Talent Shotv but the
programme's producers asked the young girl to
sing too. A show business manager heard her
and got her a recording contract with Sony. Her
career starled with a CD of classical songs, Volce
of an Angel. and she quickly became world-
famous. She toured the world with her mother
and she sang for world leaders including
President Clinton and the Pope. Now, she is a
pop singer and there are often photographs in
the newspapers of her out on the town. She is a
lively young woman and despite her fame (and
selling more than ten million records!), she

 Why are typical teenagers
never tired at 1'1p.m. but
they hate getting up in the
morning? Are they lazy?
No, the good news is that
it's natural.
ln the US, a lot of high schools start at about 7.30 in the
morning. This means the students are at their desks after only
five or six hours' sleep. However, they need 9-1 0 hours
because their bodies and brains are still developing so they
are very tired. Tiredness means 20 per cent of high school
students fall asleep during their first two hours of school.

=veryone has a natural body clock which tells them when to
,vake up and fall asleep. In teenagers, the chemicalthat
:ontrols sleep, melatonin, is in their brains between
11.00p.m. and 8.00a.m. The result is that teenagers don't
'eel tired late in the evening but. when they get up before
3a.m., their brarn is telling them to sleep. This lack of sleep
:neans they are often unhappy, angry can't learn and get
cad marks.
Sleep scientists are researching the proolem. They say that it
is crazy to fight nature so the only answer is for schools to
start Iater. As one scientist said, 'At 7.30a.m. students are at
their desks but their brains are at home ln bed.' Luckily, some
head teachers listened to the new scientific advice and
changed their school hours. The resuits are very inieresting:
teachers and parents say students behave better, learn more,

 What ia climate c\anae?
The Earth's weather is always changing. In the past, natural events
caused these climatic changes but now scientists use the phrase
'climate change' to talk about changes which starled with the
growth of industry in the nineteenth century The changes people are
worried about now are the result of human behaviour -
not natural
changes in the atmosphere.

We all know about the 2003 heatwave in central Europe and Hunicane
Katrina which hit the USA in 2005. Scientists are studying these events
and other evidence of climate change to predict our future weather. A
very impofiant paft of their work is looking at the long-term effects of
climate change on our environment. For example, water is extremely
important for human life. ls rainfall going to increase? 0r lvill there be
more hot weather and less rain? Some people believe that water is so
impoftant that there will be wars about it in the future.

There are a lot of things we can do to slow down climate change. Instead of using coal, oil and gas, we will
need to get more of our energy from renewable sources such as the sun, wind and water. There are already
land and sea wind farms in Europe and in the next ten years governments are going to build more. We can also
be more environmentally-friendly in our own lives. For example, when you go to bed tonight, are you going to
turn off the TV and computer or leave them on standbv? This weekend, are you going to use public transport or
drive your car? There are a lot of things we can do at home to help save energy and reduce pollution.

Do you know about the Kyoto Protocol? The countries of the United Nations met in Kyoto, Japan in i g97 and
agreed to try to control climate change. In 2005, the Protocol, 0r agreement, became international law. The
-
countries which signed the agreement are going to reduce their greenhouse gases by 5.2ok before the end of
2012.Ihe only two industrial countries that didn t sign the agreement are the USA, the world's biggest polluter,
and Australia.

I
her talking to a yor.ng man about the tabloid newspapers and again
she_didn't listen to his argl-ments. Finally, sne lora the man he was
I 'si11y' so I turned off nqz radio.
I agree that Ms Turner j-s sometimes amusing but, on the other hand,

 Each year Hollywood and movie fans turn
their attention to the Academy Awards. The
awards are for different achievements such
as best director, best actor/actress, best film
editing. best original soundtrack and best
visual effects. However, you - like most
people - probably call the awards 'Oscars'.
The reason for this nickname is that an
Academy librarian, Margaret Herrick, looked
at the statue and said, 'lt looks like my Uncle
Oscar,' and the name stuck.

When the winners collect their Oscars, they make a speech. 1_'There's a lot to say,
but l'm not going to say it tonight.' or 'l want to thank ... everybody l've met in my
whole life.' Or, unfortunately,'_When Cher won best supporting actress for
Moonstruck, she thanked her hairdresser, make-up arlist and personal assistant but
she forgot to thank the other actors or the directorl

such as
Stonehenge. Others are less well known and we are going to look at a few of these here.
iir;,,f Saltaare. In the 19th century, many people lived and worked in terrible conditions. Sir Titus Salt owned mills where cotton
was made but he was different to other bosses. He built a complete village for his workers with pleasant houses ano green
spaces. This village is Saltaire and it is now a living museum where peopie still live and work.
Henderson lsland. This island is about as far from people as it is possible to get, lying halfwa,
between South America and Australia. Nobody lives here and the isiand is important-foiscientisrs
to see how animals and plants grow and live when they are left completely on their own.
(rt ':ffi, Blenheim Palace. This has been the home of the Churchill family since 1722. The land hao
:*rl been given to John Churchill by the government after he fought and won in a war. Sir Winsron
Churchill was born here. The palace is now open to visitors.
':::::,1:*: Ournam Gastle and Cathedral. Durham is a small city in the north of England with the third
oldest university in England after Oxford and Cambridge. The cathedral and casfle date back to
William the first, and were built in the late eleventh century.
4 St Kilda is a small island off the north west coast of Scotland. lt was home to a small population for about 2,000 years but
the last people left the island in 1930. St Kilda is also the most important sea bird colony in north west Europe.
6 Edinburgh old and new town. Edinburgh has been the capital of Scotland since 1437. The old town refers to the area on top
of the hill where the castle stands. There have been castles here for thousands of years but the oldest part of the present castle
dates back to the twelfth century. The new town was built in the 18th century and its most famous street is princes Streer.

Woman 1 I don't know when we're leaving. The plane is
delayed, so we're waiting to find out what time the flight ls
going to be. Right now we're going to sit in a restaurant and
eat lunch. We've got some money from the airline because
we're late.
I hope we're not too late because our hotel is a long way
from the airport and lhe children are tired.
Girl I'm going to go camping this year. I've got a new tent,
a rucksack and a nice, warm sleeping bag. My friends don't
want to come with me - they like sunbathing and relaxing
but I think that's a boring way to spend your time. I want to
walk in the mountains. I'm not sure where I'm going to go
yet Poland looks interesting, or maybe the P;,'renees.
Man 1 This is great! We're leaving in about an hour. I can
see the ferry and I'm waiting to drive on. There's a man
checking tickets and a passport control and then we can go.
I'm hungry now. When I get on the boat, i'm going to find a
seat in the restaurant next to a window and eat breakfast.

Woman 2 This is so exciting. This afternoon, we're going to
go to the travel agent's and book our holiday. We're going to
have a month in India. I can't believe it! The price includes
flights, hotels and travel in India and we're going to see
eve4,thilg - the Himalayas, the Taj Mahal, The Rlver Ganges.
I want to ride on an elephant in the jungle and see a tiger.
Man 2 I'm not going anywhere this year. I've got two weeks'
holiday in July but I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to
paint the house, work in the garden and relax. I like holidays
but when I come home I'm always more tired than before I
leave. I hate flying, and holidays in England are very
expensive. I might go cycling at the weekend but nothing else.
TEST2IUNITS3-4
Lecturer Good morning. Now, as you should remember, last
week we were looking at the works of Ernest Hemingway. Did
you all do your homework? Good. I'11 collect it in at the end
of the lesson. Now today, we're going to look at some of the
greatest writers of detective stories. Later I'11 tell you about
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who u,'rote the Sherlock Holmes
books but first I want to look at an American writer, Ra).mond
Chandler. Does anybody know him? ... No? Well, never mind.
He was born in 1888 and spent the first few years of his life
in Chicago but, when he was a child, his family moved to
England. He went to school at Dulwich College, that's an
expensive private school in south London, but he also
studied in F rance. He became a British cltizen but he
moved back to America in 1912.
During the First World War he was a soldier in the Canadian
army. After the war, he went to live in southern California
where he had many jobs. He worked as a journalist, teacher
and pilot. He also wrote books, of course and all his stories
were about Philip Marlowe. Marlowe was a private detective
in Los Angeles, a tough but very honest man. All of these
stories were also made into films, perhaps the best and
most famous is Ttrc Bi,g S\ee'p starring Humphrey Bogart
and Lauren Bacall.
He wrote his first story in The Black Mctsk magazine tn
1933 and wryote hls first book in 1939. That was The Big
Sleep. He only rnrote seven books but an eighth , Poodle
Springs, was unfinished and, finally, in 1989, a u,riter
named Robert B Parker finlshed it.
For this week's homework, I have got some of Chandler's
work for you to read and we will talk about it next lesson.
Here you are ...

catches the mice, look.
J A cat? In the kitchen?

one sink, dlrty fridges, cooked and uncooked meat in
the same frldge, dairy foods not put away in the fridge,
food on the floor, two workers tasting the soup and
putting the dirty spoon back into the soup ... I'm golng

place cleaner and better organised than now. Goodbye

P Good morning ancl w-elcome to Network South's
Monday morrung phone-in show. Today u.e're lalking
about relationships and we want you to telephone with
your probiems, advice, stories, happy or sad. Whatever
you want to talk about, jLrst pick up the phone and call
01616 328415, that's 01616 328115. And our first caller
is Jenny. Hi, Jenny.
J Yes, I just wanted to phone to say that my advice for
anyone who has problems r,vith relationships is to listen
to each other. It's very easy to think you are right but
there must be some reason lvhy the other person sees
things diflerently.
P Thank you, Jenny, that's a good point. I'm sure we all
agree. Now, Daria, you have a sad story, I believe.
D Yes. Weli, not very sad now. I was going out u-ith my
boyfriend for trvo years when he suddenly left me. We
were always happy, never argued, never hacl any
problems and I don't think he had another girlfriend.
He just suddenly finished the relationship and never
told me what was wrong.
P If Daria's ex-boyfriend is listening, can you telephone and
tell us why you left her! Stuart. What do you want to say.
S I've just split up with my girlfriend. She wanted to go
out all the time and she didn't like me playing computer
games uith m1r friends. You have to put a lot of effort
into having a girlfriend, thinking of what to wear, where
to go, what to say. It r,vas too much for me.
P I knor,v what you mean, Stuart! Now, here's some good
advice, flum Enri11, T thinkl Emilyl
E Yes. I just u'ant to say, that I've been married for 40
years and n-e're still very happy. I'11 tell you why. We
have always had two days a week u'hen we do what we
want. I go to my friends, my husband goes to the pub
or the football with his friends. We can come home
anytlrne u'e want. The other five days we're together.
That's what everybody should do.
P Good advice. Nou', here's a question from Ed.
Ed Yes. lve got a bit of a problem. I've done somet hing a
bit stupici, I r,r.on't tel1 you w-hat it was and my girlfriend
is very angrv ll'ith me. We haven't split up but I'm
u-orried that rve misht. I r,vant her back but I don't
knorv horv to tell her 'I'm sorry' so that she will believe
me. Aly ideas?
