Its important to note that the book contains materials for practiceit is not «a course book. The book aims to help pupils ‘activate language taught previously, and to practise using it in similar situations that will crise in the exam. ‘The material has been revised to take into ‘account the new GESE syllabus that came into effect from February |, 2010. ‘As these are oral exams, the focus is on speaking ‘nd listening. Writing tasks are strictly limited ‘ond are there only to help students complete ‘a speaking task, or to remember language. There are eight lessons. Each lesson covers o subject for conversation from the exam syllabus. Lessons begin with o task to introduce the languoge or vocabulary item, which is then talked ‘about by students. series of linked exercises help students to: © improve their accuracy; ‘© use the appropriate vocabulary for the task; and © practise pronunciation, Listening tasks help students understand the ‘exam questions they will hear, as well as helping ‘them to practise pronunciation. ‘A Remember box summarizes what has been practised in the lesson and acts as a revision aid for students. ‘Typical questions and answers from the exam ‘are presented at the end of each lesson. You can find out more about the exam on page 24 To students Practise and you will feel confident in the exam. Remember to smile. Look at the examiner when you are speaking, ‘Answer the questions as fully os you can Do not worry if you make a mistake Hf you do not understand a question, ask the examiner to repeat it. Say: 'm sorry, I don't understand or Please repeat the question Enjoy the exam.Lesson title Pd eR My name's What's your name? How ald ore you In How are you?
