EXAM TASK
1 B (The club meets regularly for members to talk about films
together, which Jack wants. There’s an organised trip every month,
which he likes. This trip is often to a musical and he enjoys films
with songs in them.)
2 H (The club prefers dramas, and these are serious and not
musicals or comedies which Beth doesn’t like. Club members like
to research the facts behind films to find out more about them,
and Beth wants to do this, too. Members make recommendations
about films, which Beth wants.)
3 C (The club prefers unusual and fascinating films which aren’t
blockbusters, made by small independent companies. Andy
prefers this kind of film. He wants to listen to talks by actors
and directors and the club organises these. Members can write
reviews of films on the club website, and he wants to do this.)
4 D (Carrie loves films about nature and animals and the club
shows these. She’s also interested in the technical side of
film-making, and the club explores the problems and solutions of
making films. She wants to take part in an online forum, and club
members can chat on part of the club site.)
5 F (The club shows films about the future and life on other
planets (science fiction) which Josh loves. Members make

B is right because he says it’s not a bad thing.
C is wrong because the writer doesn’t say he regrets the lack of
evidence, just that this is the case.
D is wrong because the writer is not worried, he just says that it
happens.
A is right because the writer says ‘Clearly, if teachers use
technology correctly, especially in the classroom, it can only
improve a child’s ability to learn.’
The writer is neither positive nor negative, he accepts that there
are advantages and disadvantages to young children using tablets
and therefore C is the correct answer. He doesn’t say that he thinks
people should talk about the problem more (A) and he thinks
they can be useful in schools (B). He doesn’t mention people who
criticise young children who use tablets (D).

Question 1
Hi Sam,
I’m looking forward to coming to see you, too – it’ll be great!
I really enjoyed going to the theatre last time so it would be fun to
go again. Could you get the tickets, please? There aren’t any films
I want to see at the moment.
I’m not keen on going to the shopping centre because I can do
that anywhere and there isn’t anything I need to buy. I would
rather go for a cycle ride in the countryside with you if the
weather’s good – it’s so pretty where you live. Is that possible?
Thanks – and see you soon!

Question 2
I use a lot of technology because I have a mobile phone, a tablet
and a laptop, as well as a desktop computer. The one I use most,
though, is my mobile phone. I like it because it is smaller and
lighter than my other devices and I can carry it everywhere in my
pocket.
I don’t like using my laptop so much because the screen is smaller
than my desktop and it is heavy to carry around.
I would not be able to live without technology because I use it to
contact my friends and to organise my social life.
Question 3
As soon as Peter met Harry in town he knew that something
exciting was going to happen. He could see that his friend had
some news to tell him. Harry was looking very happy.
He told Peter that he had managed to get two tickets for the big
football match that afternoon. Peter was pleased because it was
a very important game and he had thought he would not be able
to see it. They went together to the stadium and found their seats.
The game was very exciting and their team scored the winning
goal in the very last minute!

SPEAKING
Example answers
Part 1 Phase 2
How do you travel to work or school every day? (Why?)
I usually go to work on the bus because it stops outside my office.
It’s very easy.
Did you do anything interesting yesterday? (Why? / Why not?)
Actually, I went to a museum yesterday and it was very interesting.
I saw lots of things from ancient Egypt.
Which day of the week do you like best? (Why?)
My favourite day of the week is Friday. It’s the end of the working
week and the next day is Saturday when I can be free and enjoy
myself!
Do you prefer watching films at home or at the cinema? (Why?)
I like watching films in both places. If it’s an action film, then the
cinema is best because the screen is bigger, but at home you can
stop the film and talk about it if you want to.
What do you enjoy doing with friends? (Why?)
I like going shopping with my friends because we spend time
together and have a snack in town as well.
Do you enjoy cooking? (Why? / Why not?)
No, I’m a very bad cook! I’d like to learn to be better.
Tell us something about your best friend.
My best friend is called Sue, and we’ve been friends for many
years. She’s very good at helping me when I need advice!
Do you have any hobbies you really enjoy? (Why do/don’t you
enjoy it/them?)
I really enjoy collecting posters from films and I have hundreds of
them. I put some of them up on my bedroom walls.
Part 2
Candidate A
I can see two friends who are spending an afternoon together in
the countryside. In the middle of the photograph there is a lake
with lots of trees around it and there’s a house on the left of the
picture. The house has a red roof and it looks very pretty. The
weather is sunny. The two friends are both riding horses. One
of the horses is white and the other one is grey. The friends are
wearing riding clothes – they’re wearing trousers and jackets,
and they’re both wearing helmets. The horses are standing still in
the photograph – I think the friends are talking to each other and
having a break. They’re having a good time in the fresh air.
140
Z02 FMLA ETB1 WKey 20144.indd 140
Candidate B
In the photograph I can see four people sitting round a table
and they’re studying together. On the table there are books
and a laptop and the people are talking. They are all young.
The woman on the right has long black hair and she’s wearing a
yellow top. The man sitting next to her is wearing a white T-shirt
with a brown shirt over it. He’s got short hair and glasses. The
man on the left has dark hair. He’s wearing a shirt and jeans. The
woman next to him is standing up and she’s wearing a yellow and
black checked shirt and jeans. She has long hair. I think they’re
all in a library because I can see lots of books on shelves in the
background there.
Part 3
M: So we must think about the best thing for the tennis club
to do to celebrate its anniversary. What do you think about the
picnic? That’s a nice idea because everyone can talk to each other
and enjoy themselves.
F: I agree, but it isn’t very special. I have a picnic quite often with
my family. The club needs something more unusual. Do you think
the concert is a good idea?
M: Yes, it might be good but maybe it’ll be difficult to find music
that everyone will like. I prefer the idea of having fireworks –
a big fireworks display would be more special than a picnic and
fireworks are always fun to watch. They’re exciting, too!
F: That’s a good point. What about the big screen? That might
be fun and different.
M: The problem is that if people are watching the screen then
they won’t talk to each other. I don’t like that idea. I think the shop
is a better idea because people can buy a souvenir so they’ll
remember the celebration later on.
F: Yes, you’re right. Maybe they should do two things – the
fireworks display and the shop.
M: That’s a good suggestion. I don’t think the tennis tournament
is a good plan. It might take a long time, and not everyone will
take part. It’s also not very different from what people do in the
club all the time.
F: Yes, I agree – so let’s choose the shop and the fireworks.
Part 4
Are there many sports clubs where you live? (Why? / Why not?)
Yes, there’s a good tennis club about ten minutes from my house.
In fact, my sister plays there and she’s very good. I go there
sometimes to play with her.
Have you ever belonged to any kind of sports club or gym?
(Why? / Why not?)
I belong to a local gym because I like to keep fit. I go there twice
a week. There’s also a swimming pool there. I like swimming after
I’ve done exercise in the gym.
What’s your favourite sport? (Why?)
My favourite sport is football. It’s a great game and it’s very
exciting! My friends like it, too.
Do you prefer watching sport or playing it? (Why?)
I like playing sport but I’m not very good at anything really. I love
watching football on television every Saturday with my friends.
Is it important for everyone to do sport? (Why? / Why not?)
I think it’s very important because it’s necessary to keep fit and
healthy. Also if you play a team sport like football, you can learn a
lot about getting on with other people. It’s fun, too, even if you’re
not very good!
