This booklet contains a full set of photocopiable test material for use with Oxford Exchange 1. • one diagnostic test • ten end-of-unit tests

• three end-of-term tests • one end-of-year-test

Higher-level tests The higher-level tests evaluate your students' command of the language covered in Oxford Exchange through more challenging exercises than those contained in the test booklet. You can use them with a whole class where most students are coping well with the Oxford Exchange coursework, or to cater for more able students in mixed-ability groups.

CD-ROM The higher-level tests are also available on CD-ROM so that you can copy the files onto your computer and adapt them to suit the needs of your students.

Diagnostic test The diagnostic test can be used at the beginning of the school year. It is designed to cover language which students have already learnt in Primary, and will give a good indication of the level at which your students are beginning ESO. The test should take about 40 minutes.

End-of-unit tests There are ten end-of-unit tests designed to follow the Student’s Book units, and each of them should take 40 minutes to complete. The tests all contain a Vocabulary section (10 marks), and a Grammar section (20 marks), followed by Reading and Writing (5 marks each).

End-of-term and End-of-year tests The end-of-term and end-of-year tests should take about one hour and should be administered at the end of each term. They are divided into four sections: Vocabulary, Grammar, Reading and Writing, and are marked out of a total of 50. End-of-term test 1 is designed to be used after Unit 3, End-of-term test 2 after Unit 7, and End-of-term test 3 after Unit 10. The end-of-term tests are cumulative – that is, End-of-term test 2 covers language from terms one and two, while End-of-term test 3 covers language from all three terms. You may want to use End-of-term test 3 as a practice test in preparation for the final End-of-year test.

Test summary sheet There is a test summary sheet on page 5 of this booklet, which can be used to keep a record of students’ test results during the year.

Suggestions for using the tests • Warn students in advance that they will be

having a test and tell them what the test will be covering.

• Students need to develop procedures for revision, so encourage them to look back through their notebooks and to use the Grammar and Vocabulary pages at the back of the Student’s Book. You might also want to discuss the amount of time students should spend revising.

• Before students begin a test, spend a few minutes looking through it with the class and make sure that everyone understands how to do each type of activity.

• Students may need extra paper to carry out the writing tasks.

IAIN __________________________ Iain is from Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. ‘My favourite festival is Hogmanay – that’s our New Year celebrations. Every year there’s an enormous party in the streets, with modern music and dancing. I go with my friends. My friends usually dance, but I prefer to watch. People don’t wear special costumes, but at twelve o’clock we watch the fireworks – they’re always fantastic – and we listen to the bagpipes. They always play traditional music then. I don’t usually go to bed until about five or six o’clock in the morning, but I get up very late on New Year’s Day.’ HANK _______________________ Hank’s favourite festival is Thanksgiving. ‘It’s an American festival. We celebrate it every year on the last Thursday in November. All my family have dinner at my house. We eat special food (turkey and pumpkin pie are the traditional foods, but I’m a vegetarian so I never eat the turkey!) and relax or play games. We usually watch American football on TV. There’s an important match every year and, of course, we don’t go to school.’

it’s often sunny and windy, too. Ben: Is that a problem? Sarah: Well, we’re all wearing very warm

clothes and sunglasses, so it’s OK. Ben: Of course, there aren’t any hotels in

the Arctic. Where do you sleep? Sarah: We’ve got special tents and sleeping

bags. We need them! The temperature is -35ºC at night.

Ben: What other problems are there? Sarah: Well, there aren’t any shops so we’re

carrying all our food. My rucksack weighs about 50 kilos. That’s a lot. Also, there are some dangerous animals – polar bears are sometimes very aggressive. Apart from that, I’m having a fantastic time!

Dear Rachel,

How are things with you? I’m OK, but I’m sharing a bedroom with my brother at the moment because I’m going to decorate my room next week. I’m going to paint it light blue. It’s my favourite colour. I think I’m going to move my desk. I’m going to put it under the window because I want to see the garden when I’m working. I’m not going to buy any new posters because I haven’t got any money.

In August I’m going to go to Italy with my family. We’re going to stay in a hotel near the beach for a week and after that we’re going to travel to Rome, Pisa and Milan. We’re going to visit the museums and art galleries. We’re going to see the Coliseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and some other famous historic sites, too. I’m going to take a lot of photos! What about you?

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• My favourite film is A.I. (Artificial Intelligence). In the film an inventor created an incredible boy robot, David. David is different from other robots because he can love. He lived with some human parents because their son was in hospital in a coma. Soon he didn’t want to be a robot any more because he loved his mother. Then the son recovered from the coma. When the son was home again he was cruel because he didn’t like his robot brother. The family abandoned David, but he travelled all over America and looked for the Blue Fairy for many years. The Blue Fairy helped him. In the end he discovered that his mother really loved him. He didn’t become human, but he was happy.

• 1992 – appeared in a TV advert

• 1994 – appeared in the film Forrest Gump

• 1999 – starred in Sixth Sense

• 2001 – starred in A.I.

The story and the special effects were fantastic and the main actor, Haley Joel Osment, was excellent. I really enjoyed this film.

IN DECEMBER 1999 TWO FRIENDS, Andy and Mike, were on a small plane when they had an accident in the Andes mountains in Chile. They knew that to survive they had to cross the mountains. They had a map and some food, but they didn’t have a compass or a tent. The weather was terrible – it was very cold and windy, there was a lot of snow and the temperature was often –10ºC. They put on all their clothes and they wore sunglasses to protect their eyes. They only travelled during the day. They walked in the direction of the sun. At night they looked for protection and made a fire. They didn’t meet any people, but they saw some animals in the distance. After ten days they didn’t have any more food and they were exhausted, but they didn’t stop. Finally, after two more days they came to a road and soon they arrived in a small town. It was Christmas Day and their terrible experience was over!

new CD? This week’s star profile is Jamie Burns from the pop group Aquarius. We asked Jamie your questions and here are his answers: Did you always want to be a famous singer?

No. At school I wasn’t very good at any subjects, except Music and English. I wanted to be a writer, but then I learned to play the guitar and I discovered I was good at composing and writing songs. I decided to concentrate on my music and I started my professional career two years ago when we formed Aquarius.

Where did the name Aquarius come from? Well, there are seven people in the group and we’ve all got the same star sign – we’re all Aquarius!

What are your plans for the future? We’re going to go on tour next year. We’ve got concerts all over Britain and America, so it’s going to be exciting.

What are you working on now? We’re making a new CD. We’re going to record it next month.

Do you like doing concerts? Yes, it’s great fun. I like visiting different cities, but sometimes we stay in the hotel all day because we’re exhausted!

What are your interests? Well, I’m mad about motor racing and I like reading.

Have you got a girlfriend? Not at the moment. I moved to London a month ago and I don’t know many people there.

........................................................................ 6 Have they got any concerts in Spain

next year? ........................................................................ 7 Does Jamie like doing concerts? ........................................................................ 8 Why do they sometimes stay in the hotel

all day? ........................................................................ 9 Does Jamie like motor racing? ........................................................................ 10 Has he got a girlfriend? ........................................................................
