PART 1

Dear Sir/ Madam/ Whom it may concern I had been searching for a job when I discovered the advertisement in the local newspaper, in which you were offering a school trip. I am a student at King’s College, and I am mad about travelling. I adore to visit new places; I have always wanted to go to Norway and visit the breathtaking sceneries from that country. During the visit, we can go to the Oslo Museum, take a guided tour to visit the visit, try the gastronomy with the famous dish made of fresh fish and visit the Norwegian fjords. In Norway people can speak very well English so, it’s a great opportunity to practice English. In the end, I think I will manage with the challenges this trip may offer. yours sincerely, Emma

EJEMPLO:

Hi Helga, I've been meaning to write to you for ages now so don't worry! How did your exams go? When will you know your results? I'm sure you did brilliantly as always! As for me, I have joined a swimming team for three months by the end of next week so I'm feeling more settled in. At first I felt like I had no idea what I was doing but now I realise it's normal to feel like that. There was a lot to learn – there still is actually – and I soon had to get used to the idea that I can't know everything. I used to work late a lot and at weekends and I didn't have time, so now that I have I decided to try a new activity! I really love it but I'm slowly getting into a normal routine. Moreover, I feel more relaxed and healthier. We really need a good catch up! I can't believe we haven't seen each other since Carl's wedding. How does next month sound? Anyway, I'd better get back to work. Can't wait to see you! Love, Emma

Resultados

Cuando los examinadores corrigen un Writing tienen en cuenta los siguientes criterios:

1. Si has contestado al enunciado planteado
2. Las expresiones gramaticales que has utilizado
3. La cantidad y variedad del vocabulario que has empleado.
4. La estructura del texto (si es un ensayo, una carta, un artículo, etc.)

A cada uno de estos criterios le otorgan 3 puntos hasta un máximo de 12 puntos en total. Ahora vamos a ver cómo te dan la nota de los diferentes módulos. Como decíamos al principio este examen tiene dos módulos:

1. Written Exam (Listening, Reading, Writing)
2. Spoken Exam (Speaking)
3. Al igual que puedes presentarte al examen por separado, tu nota también es por separado. Quiere decir que podrías suspender un módulo y aprobar otro.

Thanks!
