以下是样卷：

Task 1: Read Aloud

You’ll be allowed one minute to read over a short text silently, then one minute to record yourself reading the text aloud.

Example:

Day of the Dead

The Day of the Dead is maybe the most famous Mexican tradition in the world.

The holiday involves gathering with friends and family to remember the people

who have died. In Mexican culture, death is seen as a natural part of the

human cycle. Mexicans believe that dead people should be remembered with

joy, not with sadness. It is also believed that during this holiday, the spirits of

those who have passed have permission to come and visit us in the physical

world.. Altars are made to honor the dead people. Their spirits can find their

favorite food and drinks and people bring musicians to the cemetery, so the

spirits can enjoy their favorite music.

You will be scored on pronunciation, of course, but also your level of natural intonation and speed.

Task 2: Picture Narration

You will be shown a series of six pictures. You’ll need to tell the story the pictures tell. You’ll have one minute to prepare and one minute to record your story.

Example:

The six images below show what Matt does every day. First, look at the pictures and prepare your sentences. Then, you will be told when to record your story. You will have one minute to prepare. Then you will have one minute to tell Matt’s routine as shown in the pictures.

For this part, what counts is whether your story is complete, relevant, and includes enough details. You need to speak fluently and smoothly with accurate pronunciation and intonation. The grammar and vocabulary you use need to be appropriate and varied.

Task 3: Non-academic Listen-Speak

Next, you’ll hear a teacher or students talking about something to do with school, then you’ll need to talk about it. You can take notes as you listen to the recording. You’ll get 45 seconds to prepare and one minute to speak.

Example transcript excerpt:

                M- As part of this semester’s grade, you must turn in a science project. You can

choose any of the subjects we have seen so far. Projects must include a formal

presentation and a demonstration. For example, last year, one student

researched active volcanoes around the world. And then, she created an actual

volcano, which would ‘erupt’ by mixing some ingredients like vinegar and

baking soda.

Presentations must be made using slides or posters. If you use slides, I want

you to print them and give me a paper copy.

[…]

Prompt: You are having a meeting with a classmate. You decided to work with him for

the science project. You need to remind him what the teacher said. Be sure to

mention:

– The deadline to turn in the project

– The project elements (presentation, demonstration)

– The conditions that the teacher set

Similar to Task 2, your speech needs to be fluent and well structured with appropriate vocabulary and grammar.

Task 4: Academic Listen-Speak

This task is similar to Task 3, but the topic will be academic-related. You’ll have 45 seconds to prepare and one minute to speak.

Example transcript excerpt:

W- Recycling is not complicated once you learn how to use the different waste bins.

Paper must be separated from other waste. If you throw paper away, it must

be torn, not crumpled. The reason is simple: crumpled paper loses its value

during recycling. It must be dry to avoid having accidents while transporting it.

Glass has its own bin. You are not allowed to throw away plant pots or broken

porcelain dishes in this bin. Glass bottles must be thrown in the bin without

the plastic or metallic cap, and they must be cleaned.

Cans and metallic caps are materials that can be easily recycled. Actually, they

are the most valuable materials. Like bottles, cans must be thrown once they

have been rinsed or cleaned.

[…]

Prompt: Talk about the recycling process. How does the waste sorting work? Try to give

as many examples as possible.

– Glass

– Paper

– Plastic

– Organic

Scoring for this section is identical to that for Task 3 above.
