EXAM STRATEGIES
The Szccess Workbook, provides practice u'rth
esercise types found in exams including PET, KET,
FCE and Trinity. These exercises are graded to
elementary level to help students famrliarrse
themselves with the exercise t5,pes. Page numbers
u-here these exercises appear are next to each task
trpe. Mosl exams consist of a listening
comprehension, a reading comprehension,
grammar exercises/Use of English and (a) r.lriting
task(s). The Success Workbook inciudes exercises
that wi11help you to prepare for all these. Follow
these to help you do particular task t1pes.
Listening comprehension
General guidelinss
Always
. . Be careful with answers that sound exactly the
read the inslrucl ions carefully before
list-enLng to a recorcling for the first trne.
Tly to predict what kind of information you
mioht harr
. . Sometimes the information needed to answer a
look aL Lhe questions and mark your answers
when listening for the l'irst time.
. read Lhrough all the queslions again before
the second listening, in parlicular, the
questions you didn't answer during the first
irslerunp.
Don't
. panic if you don't understand every'1hing. You
don't have to understand the whole text to
be able to lind the correct answers lo a
question. Tfy to gel the main idea of a text
and work out the meaning of words you don't
know lrom the contexl.
. spend Loo much time Lhinking aboul
queslions you are nol able to answer - you
can come back to those during your second
Isterung.
. leave any questions unanswered. If you are
not surc - guess. You have a fifty percent
chance of getting it right! In class, ask your
teacher for the correct answers. Il they differ
a lot from yours, listen to the recording once
more to analyse the reason for your mistake.
Thue/False exercises (page22, exercise 2)
. Remember that you will hear the questions/
sentences in the order you hear them.
o When deciding whether a sentence is true or
false, take into account what you actualiy hear
and not what you know or think.
o A sentence/question at the very end may refer to
a speaker's intention or the generai context. In
oeneral it is imnnrtant to refer to the whole
DLr LL r ur,
recordmg.
Multiple-choice exercises
(page 37, exercise 1)
. Remember that you will hear the questions/
sentences in the order you hear them.
. While listening for the first time, make notes of
suggested answers. Then compare them to the
choices you have been given and choose the
most similar.
same as the information in the recording. They
are often incorrect. Pay special attention to
s)monyrns and anton5.ans.
question is not drrectly given, you may have to
work il out on the 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 51, exercise 1)
o If you have to find out who a person is or where
a recording lakes place, concentrate on typical
phrases which relate to the person or place.
Sometimes one characteristrc phrase will help
you choose the right answer.
. 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 t),pe of
text, pay special attention to expressions that
are characteristic to a particular tlpe of a text.
Sentence or information ordering
(page 93, exercise 3)
o If you have to put events in chronological order,
listen out for time expressions (and then, nert,
JCnaIIy, in the end ...).
. If you have to put events in the order they

underslanding a sequence of evenls.
Understanding a logical connection betu'een
them is not necessary to do this task.
. Use your general knowledge - it might help 1'ou
predict a logical sequence of events.
B
 Reading comprehension
General guidelines
Always
o t€atl the inslruclions before doing Lhe lask.
The lask will affect the way you read
tha iavl
. Lry 1o work out what kind of text it is - it
may give you some ideas of what to expect.
. read key informarion firsL. A title helps to
decide on a general idea of a text and the
first senlence o[ each paragraph often
summarises the whole paragraph.
. underline parts of the text relevanL Lo the
questions (single words, phrases, sentences,
paragraphs)
Don't
. try to understand every single word of a text.
You don't have to know all Lhe words Lo
answer the questions. You may be able to
guess the meanirg of new words uslng
different techniques {guessing from the
context, guessing a word based on its
grarnmatical form, simiiarifi,' of the word in
your own language).
o leave any questions unanswered, if you are
nol sure - guess! Always check if you have
answered all of the questions.
. spend loo much time on one specific
exercise - your time in the exam is limited.
Thue/False exereises (page 15, exercise 2)
. Skim the text first to get a general idea of where
the information is.
. Different sentences nell require different reading
strategies. For example, you may need to focus
on just one phrase or you may need to interpret
the meaning of a whole text.
. If you don't find informati.on confirming that a
particular sentence is true, mark it as false.
4
Multiple choiee exercises
(page 9, exercise 3)
. Identify the parts of the text that your questions
refer to.
o Focus on the detail of a paragraph or sentence.
An incorrect answer may only differ from the
correct one in lhe tense that is used, slightly
different information or information that only
partly corresponds with the text.
r Eliminate incorrect answers and then mark your
final answer.
Matching exercises (page 42, exercise 3)
r 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
lhe risht nl:ce in the text where there is an
answer lo a parlicular queslion.
. Remember that this kind of exercise may include
(an) extra sentence(s), so you will have to
ehminate unnecessary items.
Gap-fill exercises (page 70, exercise 2)
. Skim the text first to get its general meaning,
ionorinB the sans Then read the sentences or
words which are needed to frll the gaps.
r When you select your answers, pa)- attention to
what is in the text both before and after the gap.
Sentence or information ordering
(page 92, exercise 3)
. While doing this kind of exercise, try to flnd
sentences or paragraphs which have to be
placed aL lhe beginnhg. Look ou1 lor
expressions typically used when rntroducing a
topic or a character.
. Focus on linking words (then,fCnally,nert ...).
These words will give you a clue to the order.
o You may not need to study a whole paragraph.
Focus on sentences/words that will help you link
sentences/paragraphs.
. Make sure the last paragraph,/sentence
summarises the whole text or provides a logical
conclusion.
Writing
You may be required to write a short, practical
piece of writing such as a note, an email,
an invitation, an advertisement and/or a longer,
practical piece of rnriting, for example a formal or
inJormal letter, a story or a discursive text. The
Success Workbook will help you prepare for these
tlpes 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.
o 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.
. If you do not understand what an examiner has
said, ask him/her to repeat him/herself. You can
also repeat the information you have been given
and, in this way, you can make sure that you
have understood it correctly.
. If you are not ready with your answers and need
time to think, use conversational fillers or
hesitation devices (uell, let me th,ink, 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.

Speaker 1 The thing I remember was my first day at school
I wasn't sad at all. I wanted to go to school. I was very happy.
I went with my mum. I wanted to run but she stopped me.
At the gates, when I said goodbye, I could see her trying to
hide her eyes. She didn't want me to see her cry
Speaker 2 I alwavs remember one Christmas. I was ill and
couldn't eat any dinner. I was very sad. I was 111 for about
two weeks and my grandfather bought me a very expensive
model aeroplane. I loved aeroplanes. It was great. It could
fly. I had it for years. He was great, my grandfather.
Speaker 3 I remember holidays in France. We went every
year. We always did the same things. We stayed in the same
town, we visited the same places, u'e bought our food from
the same shop every year. But every year it was wonderful.
I loved it and now I always take my children to the same
place.
Speaker 4 I remember when I fell off my bike. I hurt my teg
and couldn't walk. I didn't know what to do. I remember a
car stopped and a woman got out. She was very friendly
and took me home. She gave me some chocolate in the car
and a week later she telephoned my parents to ask how I
was. She took the bike in the car as well.
Speaker 5 I remember when my brother went to university.
I was only ten, he was nineteen. We only had a small house
and we always slept in the same bedroom. Now I had my
owrr room. It was great. Well, I was a bit lonely at first but
after a week or two I was happy. I moved my brother's
things into a cupboard and put all my books and CDs on the
shelves and my posters on the wall.
Speaker 6 Well, it's a long time ago. When the war started,
that's the Second World War, I was five. I lived near London
and in 1940 I went to live with a family ln a village. Lots of
children left London. Some weren't happy but the family I
went to were lovely. They had a daughter my age and we
were like sisters. We still are. I loved mv four vears there. I
didn't want to go home.

P - presenter, C - Mr Clive Jessup, J - Joel
P Good evening and welcome to our weekly radio phone-in
show The World Toclay. This evening we are asking: Do
our young people look worse than in the past? Here in the
studio we have Mr Clive Jessup, a clothes shop owner
and Joel Fisher, a young actor and musician. You can ring
us from 9 o'clock on 0146 21331. My first question is to
Mr Jessup. What do you think of young people's fashions?
C Well, what I can see in my shop is that young people
don't want to buy suits these days. In my shop, in the
past, we had customers of all ages, with lots of young
people among them, who wanted something nice to wear
on a Saturday evening and they bought suits, shirts and
ties. Now nobody wants them. Look at young Joel here,
he's wearing the uniform of the young - blue jeans, an
old T-shirt and a pair of trainers.
105
 P Joel, what do you say to Mr Jessup? Do you sometimes
wear a suil?
J No, not really. I wore one for my sister's wedding. It was
my father's. He's got iots ol suits. I haven't got any.
Mr Jessup doesn't understand that my clothes are
lmportant to me. They tell you something. A suit says:
'I want to look like my parents.' My clothes say: 'I don't
want to look like my parents.' You can say a lot with
clothes. The T-shirt and trainers, for example, tell you
what music I like.
P Yes. vorrr tra.iners also look a bit expensive. Do you
spend a lot on clothes?
J Oh, no, not at all. You don't have to buy expensive
clothes to say something. On the contrary, I buy most of
my clothes in street markets and they are really cheap.
But they have a lot of character and they really say
something. Not like the clothes in big stores. I agree with
Mr Jessup there - when you buy clothes in big stores
they are all the same. If you want to say something with
your clothes, you have to look somewhere else.
P Mr Jessup. What do you say about that?
C I still think that young people today have no style. And
that you cannot say that a T-shlrt or trainers can be
cfvlich A onnri cilifi is something that ...
J Oh come on ...
P All right. Let's hear what our listeners have to say about
that. Telephone now to tell us what you think or ask Joel
or Mr Jessup a queslion. The number, once again, is ...
M Why? Don't you think everything lvill get better? I do.
C Really? All this pollutlon and global warming and you
aren't worried about what will happen?
M No, I think scientists will flnd a way to clean the pollution
and recycle all the waste. What do you think, Beata?
B Well, I don't know really. Some of the people think that
the world will get worse and some think it will get better.
They've both got some good ideas.
M Well, they can't both be right. In my opinion, things lvill
get very bad in the next few years, there will be terrible
storms and lots of peopie will die and then governments
will have to do somethhg. It's obvious. Don't worry,
Carole!
C But I think that by the time everyone realises that the
problem is really bad, it will be too late. trverything will
be destroyed and we won't be able to do anything.
M The thing is, I mean, look at 50 years ago. Nobody could
imagine mobile phones or computers or email or CDs or
videos. Well, we can't imagine what scientists will invent
in the next 50 years. There will be robots cleaning the
worldl
B That's possible I guess. Or there wrll be a war and we'lI
all die! The thing is, we don't know. I'm going to try to
forget about lt and enjoy my iife.
C Oh, Beata. I'm not. I'm going to do something to he1p.
I've joined Greenpeace and I'm going to protest against
pollution. Ard I'm never going to buy a car!

TEST6 I UNITS 17-T2

P-presenter,J-Jack
P Welcome back to the programme. So, at half time
between Liverpool United and Manchester Tov'n, the
score is 3 1 to Manchester. In a few minutes rve are golng
to see the goals again but first, I $-ant to talk to Jack
Sinclair, the England manager. An exciting game, Jack.
J Yes, Manchester have played very rvell. They-'ve already
scored three goals and T think the5 re going to score
more in the second half. Liverpool have looked very
tired. They have played three games this r'veek and you
can see that this match is difficult for them
P What can Liverpool do?
J They must score in the first five minutes of the second
half to have any chance in this match. The problem is
thev haven't done much yet.
P They've scored one goal. They could score more.
J Mmm. I think they were lucky. The Manchester players
are faster and better. I think the manager should change
two players. The number 4, Smith, is too smail. They
need a taller, stronger man at the back. Maybe Donald.
The number 10, Fietcher, is having a very bad match. He
can't run, he can't klck, he can't do anything. Why is he
plaflng? Why hasn't the manager taken him off yet?
P You don't like Fletcher!
J No. But not just today. I've never liked him. I've never
seen him play well. I think Liverpool should sell him. He
might be OK at a smaller club.
P He's played 50 games for Liverpool and he's scored 7
goals. He's only 21 and he's already played for Northern
Ireland 17 times.
J That's Northern Ireland. They haven't got many players
to choose from. They're not a big country like England.
P They beat England last year and fletcher scored, I think!
Well, the teams are going to come out for the second half
soon so let's look at the goals from the first half ...
