Even though they hve lredy wlked off with one jkpot, Rymond nd Brbr Wrgg still ply the gme, whih ould be good news for good uses ner their home in Sheffield. Speking on BBC Rdio s The Morning Show, Mrs Wrgg sid they hd first mde gifts to fmily nd friends before mking further dontions for hrity. Their most reent dontion ws 20,000 to fund teenge ner unit t Weston Prk Hospitl in Sheffield. They hve lso given 10,000 to py for hild-size MRI snner t Sheffield Children s Hospitl nd took 240 pupils from lol shool in deprived re to see Disney-on-ie show. Reding Comprehension 5 Bhelors who wnt to sty single were wrned not to buy home with their girlfriend yesterdy fter reserh showed tht women see property, not enggement, s the biggest bond. Trdition used to ditte tht womn s only desire ws to get ring on her finger, but survey published yesterdy showed tht buying home with her boyfriend is now seen s fr more signifint. The reserh, onduted by the Woolwih, found tht 34 per ent of women think joint deposit on property is the lerest signl for long-term reltionship. Just 13 per ent think tht getting engged is mking suh ler signl. The number of people mrrying hs fllen to fewer thn 250,000 yer, the lowest for more thn entury, ording to the Offie for Ntionl Sttistis.

10 90 Minutes Reding Comprehension / Lnguge Elements Reding Comprehension, Prt 2 Reding Comprehension Red the following text, then hoose the nswers to questions 6 10. Youngsters ren t illiterte, but they re not reding mny books If hildren re to pitlise on life s opportunities, they must be ble to red. Trditionlly, in both edution nd the wider ulture, litery mens books. Muh of wht is most preious in our ulturl storehouse lies between hrd overs nd shools hve ustomrily lid gret stress on enourging hildren to disover books. But printed books hve been vilble for only few enturies nd newer medi like the internet ould yet disple them from their pre-eminent ple in the ulture. Certinly the results from the ltest survey of teenge litery by the Orgnistion for Eonomi Co-opertion nd Development give out some surprising signls. This reserh, whih ompres levels of litery mong 15-yer-olds ross 43 ountries, shows tht Britin s seondry-shool students spend less time reding books thn those of lmost every other ountry. This sounds lrming, but nother sttisti from the sme survey is more ressuring. British teengers do well in interntionl litery tests, oming ninth out of 43 ountries, omfortbly mong the top performing qurter. But if our teengers re not reding books, where re they getting their skills? Andres Sheiher, hed of nlysis in the OECD s edution division, believes teens re spending more time browsing through mgzines, e-mil nd the internet, nd tht this is not prtiulr problem. Wht mtters is hving diversity of different reding mterils, he sid. E-mil is prt of ommunition in the modern world nd is therefore vlid wy of spending your reding time. So, does it mtter if hildren ren t reding books? Frnis Spufford, uthor of the The Child Tht Books Built, is pssiontely onvined tht it does. There is differene between tehnil litery, whih is the bility to deode written lnguge, nd the rest of wht the written word is pble of, to reh its emotionl heights nd sound its emotionl depths nd inherit ll of the things tht re oded into the written words, he sid. There re more odes there thn just the lphbet. And books re more thn just nother tehnology for delivering writing in; they re other worlds, sometimes worlds tht reflet our own, sometimes worlds tht hllenge our own, sometimes worlds tht provide n espe from our own. But they ontin some of the most rih nd densely imgined things of whih humns re pble, nd unless you lern to slow down nd let books do their work on you, you re missing something enormous. Spufford s point is ehoed by Genevieve Clrk, who mnges the Ntionl Reding Cmpign. She sid, One wy of putting it is tht they exerise the musles of the imgintion. They open ll sorts of doors, they enourge people to see life through other people s eyes. So, yes, books will lwys remin speil nd we would lwys enourge people to relise tht books n fit into their life. Contrry to wht the OECD reserh suggests, Clrk mintins tht books re still populr mong young people. Look t Hrry Potter, she sid. Teengers re still reding, nd reding very brodly. We ve got plenty of evidene from ll sorts of things, for instne the BBC Big Red where the top 100 books were voted for by the publi. A third of them were hildren s books. But plenty of inditors suggest otherwise, nd if it is ler tht books re importnt it is less ler how we persude teengers of this. Spufford sid, Prt of it is perhps to do with the right hildren not finding the right book, beuse tht is proess whih depends to remrkble extent on luk, the sort of luky lightning strikes where the right kid finds the right pge t the right time. It s hrd to see how tht ould be systemtised. On the other hnd it my lso be tht the wy we re tehing reding nd writing in shools doesn t tully enourge hildren to see books s soure of plesure, whih is very importnt. Clrk sid tht hildren s existing interest in other kinds of reding ould tully serve s wy in. I think tehers, librrins, nyone who s involved with promoting reding, espeilly to those who think tht reding is boring or just not ool, need to think quite brodly bout how they enourge hildren into reding, she sid. If they re pssiontely interested in dne or fishing or omputers, there might be mgzines nd websites tht interest them, but there re probbly books s well. Wht we try to do is enourge young people to see books s prt of the mix.

Speking exmintions rried out with two ndidtes tke pproximtely 20 minutes, bout 15 of whih re needed for the exm onverstion itself. The remining five minutes re used by the exminers for ssessment purposes. Individul exmintions re signifintly shorter. The very first prt, Soil Contts, is not mrked nd is ment s wrm-up only. The time llowed for exmining is divided into three prts: Prt 1 (Presenttion), whih should tke bout four minutes, Prt 2 (Disussion) nd Prt 3 (Tsk), eh of whih should tke bout five minutes. Prepring for the exmintion All ndidtes hve the opportunity to prepre individully for the three tsks of the orl exmintion / speking by using the tsk sheets. There must be n invigiltor in the preprtion room in order to ensure tht the ndidtes do not spek to eh other nd tht they do not use ny eletroni devies suh s mobile phones. (Instrutions 15 nd 16). However, ditionries re llowed during the preprtion phse. The ndidtes re llowed to tke notes during this time, whih they re llowed to use during the orl exmintion. Therefore, the exmintion enter should provide stmped pper in the preprtion room. The ndidtes re not llowed to mke mrks on the tsk sheets. Wht do the exminers do? The exminers mke sure ll time restritions re dhered to. They provide trnsition from one setion to nother nd ensure tht the ndidtes re eh given dequte time to spek. The exminers re sked to keep the mount of speking tht they do to minimum. They should only intervene when the onverstion flters, omes to hlt or is dominted by one person. In the first senrio, they should ttempt to revive the onverstion by using short utterne or question to restimulte the onverstion. In the seond senrio, they re sked to spek diretly to the less tive prtiipnt in order to reintegrte them in the onverstion. It is theoretilly possible tht both exminers intervene in order to revive fltering onverstion. However, it is reommended tht one exminer tkes the role of the interloutor nd the other the role of the ssessor. These roles should be ontinued throughout the exm onverstion. If ndidte is being tested individully, one of the exminers should tke the role of the onverstionl prtner. The exminers reord their mrks on the Sore Sheet M10 during the exmintion. Eh exminer evlutes the ndidtes performnes individully. Eh test prt is to be ssessed using the four evlution riteri for orl expression, whih mens tht eh exminer needs to mke twelve ssessments per ndidte. After the ndidtes hve left the room, the exminers ompre their ssessments. This exhnge helps the exminers to re-evlute their observtions nd to reh onsensus. Then the results re entered onto pge four of the Answer Sheet S30.

42 Informtion Additionl detils bout the orl exmintion In ll three prts of the orl exmintion, the ndidtes should strive for nturl onverstion. The exminers hve more of moderting role nd less of guiding role. The desired ourse of the onverstion should be supported by the orret seting pln. The ndidtes should be ble to see one nother lerly in order void the impulse to ontinuously look t the exminers. If the exminers re fored to intervene, they should be reful how they do this. For exmple, open questions suh s Wht do you men? or Could you explin? or restting spets tht the ndidtes hve lredy mentioned during the onverstion re very useful strtegies to omplish this. The dditionl topis whih hve been mentioned by the ndidtes in Prt 1 (Soil Contts), n be brought up gin if the onverstion omes to hlt or if the utternes seem to hve been memorized in dvne. The ndidtes re llowed to use notes tht they hve reted in the preprtion time, however, they should not red them diretly from the pper. If this ours, it is the responsibility of the exminer to point out to the ndidtes tht the tsks re intended to enourge free speking. PLEASE REFER TO PAGE 38 FOR SCORING

(45) Listening Comprehension, Prt 2 Interviewer: British motorists trvelling on the ontinent re dnger to themselves nd their Europen neighbours, tht s ording to reserh published tody. Apprently more thn hlf of ll British motorists heding ross the Chnnel will this summer unwittingly brek the lw within one mile of strting their journeys if you n believe tht. Some of the problems enountered by Brits on the rods brod re due to lk of knowledge of foreign speed limits nd drinking nd driving restritions s well s n inbility to red non-english rod signs. To tlk bout this tonight, we hve Steve Norris, formerly Minister of Trnsport for London. Steve Norris, do you think this is right? Steve Norris: Yeh, I m frid I do. I men they get this sense of shool s out, you know, when motorists get over to the other side of the Chnnel, off they go, foot down, we re going to t just like ll these ontinentls, nd, you know, it s quite obvious tht drivers relly do speed up on Frenh rods in prtiulr, they kind of sense tht the Frenh re lot less bout rod sfety thn we do nd tully you see some pretty dngerous driving beuse often these Brits hve only ever driven on the other side of the rod the lst time they were on holidy. So they relly do represent quite thret, I men this reserh is sying: Be very reful, it s not s simple s it looks. I: However, I ws tlking to Frenh journlist just the other dy. And he ws telling me tht the Frenh think British drivers re more ourteous, more prudent, more phlegmti nd more disiplined. I don t reognise tht desription of us here, I must sy. S.N.: No, well the interesting thing is, Jne, if you wnt to be proud of Britin, one of the things we do relly, relly well is rod sfety. If you look ross Europe the sttistis re relly stggering, we re bsolutely the best in Europe, even better thn Sndinvin ountries. I: Is tht beuse of us or beuse of the mers nd the speed limits nd everything else? S.N.: Well, it s us in the sense tht it s never been politil footbll, you know, with both Lbour nd Conservtive governments, who ve lwys been very serious bout rod sfety. We ve lwys tken our very rowded rod network very seriously. But the point I m foussing on is, when British motorists get over to the other side, they ve got steering wheels on the wrong side of the r for the rod, they strt driving s fst if not fster thn Frenh drivers who re muh more ustomed to the rods, nd of ourse the result of tht is very, very dngerous indeed. So, I think the rel lesson is tht it s not funny. Just be very, very sensible when you go brod, prtiulrly if you re not used to driving on the other side of the rod. I: But I think the problem is tht one they go to Frne, the British hve tendeny to llow themselves lots of wine, you know, wine is hep nd they drink with lunh whih they never do here, nd then they drive. Tht s one problem, surely? S.N.: Well, yes, you re right. It s interesting the point bout drinking nd driving, beuse there is rel differene in this ountry. The penlties here ren t the most strit in Europe, but interestingly enough, we hd mpign for dedes tht sid: If you drink nd drive, not only re you breking the lw, but you re being nti-soil. Now, tht ws the differene. We tully engrined in people the ide tht, you know, drinking nd driving is not funny, it s not something you bost bout to your friends, nd tht s something tht perhps other ountries in Europe re wking up to now; tht they ve got to tke it s seriously, not just in terms of penlties but in terms of sying it isn t eptble. It my be prt of our ulture to drink but not when you re driving. I: Steve, the point bout us being phlegmti nd ourteous nd so on in our own ountry. A lot of people my not reognise tht beuse we hve terrible rod rge problem here, don t we?

46 Informtion S.N.: Funnily enough, I tully think tht s very generous desription of us to sy tht we re lwys phlegmti. I tully see lot worse exmples of rod rge in this ountry thn you do seem to see elsewhere in the world; nd I think tht s quite worrying. But it s kind of problem of yob ulture generlly. I think it s n issue who you re looking t, tht sort of relly ggressive ttitude tht you don t find only in rs, you find it lso just wlking long the street. I: Tht ws relly interesting. Thnk you very muh, Steve. Listening Comprehension, Prt 3 56. You ring servie number nd her the following.
