Bevezető Az Oxford Exam Trainer és az érettségi vizsga

Olvasott szöveg értése

A 2017. tavaszi vizsgaidőszakra átdolgozott érettségi követelmények szerint megváltozott az idegen nyelvi vizsga nyelvi szintje, a vizsga felépítésének egy része, és a témakörök is kibővültek a tizedik, Gazdaság témakörrel.

A vizsga első része azt méri, a vizsgázó képes-e a szövegek gondolatmenetének lényegét megérteni, véleményeket, érvelést nagy vonalakban követni és egyes részinformációkat kiszűrni. A feladatlap általában 4 autentikus vagy kismértékben szerkesztett szöveget és 4 egymástól különböző feladatot tartalmaz. A szövegek együttes terjedelme 1000–1200 szó, és a feladatok összesen 25–30 kérdésből állnak. A feladattípusok a megadott lehetőségeken belül évről évre változhatnak. Ezek között jellemzően az alábbi feladatok fordulnak elő: • összegző mondatok egymáshoz rendelése • párosítás, egymáshoz rendelés • szövegből kiemelt hosszabb kifejezések, mondatrészek, esetleg teljes mondatok szövegbe illesztése • feleletválasztás • igaz / hamis / nincs a szövegben állítások • kérdésekre adott rövid válaszok • hiányos mondatok kiegészítése. Az olvasott szöveg értése feladatlap megoldására a vizsgán 60 perc áll rendelkezésre, és a helyes megoldásra összesen 33 pont szerezhető.

Az Oxford Exam Trainer, amely a középszintű angol nyelvi vizsgára készít fel, a Közös Európai Referenciakeret szerint B1 szintnek felel meg, és ezeknek a megváltozott körülményeknek kíván eleget tenni.

A B1 szint A tanuló B1 szinten megérti a fontosabb információkat olyan egyszerű, hétköznapi szövegekben, amelyek gyakori élethelyzetekhez (pl. iskola, szabadidő, munka) kapcsolódnak. Képes külföldiekkel kommunikálni mindennapi helyzetekben. Egyszerű, összefüggő szöveget tud alkotni olyan témákban, amelyeket ismer, vagy amelyek érdeklődési körébe tartoznak. Be tud számolni eseményekről, élményeiről, érzelmeiről és törekvéseiről. Rövid magyarázatot tud fűzni eseményekhez, jelenségekhez, indokolni tud különböző álláspontokat és terveket. (az Oktatási Hivatal meghatározása alapján)

Témakörök A könyv 12 fejezete az idegen nyelvi érettségi vizsgák mind a tíz témakörét járja körül: • személyes vonatkozások, család (1. fejezet) • ember és társadalom (2. fejezet) • környezetünk (3. és 12. fejezetek) • az iskola (4. fejezet) • a munka világa (5. fejezet) • életmód (7. fejezet) • szabadidő, művelődés, szórakozás (9. és 10. fejezetek) • utazás, turizmus (8. fejezet) • tudomány és technika (11. fejezet) • gazdaság (6. fejezet). A fejezetek egyes részei a témakörök más és más elemeit tárják fel.

Az Oxford Exam Trainer minden fejezete a témakör szókincsének átismétlésével és begyakorlásával kezdődik. A kötet legvégén fejezetenként (azaz a fentiek szerint érettségi témakörönként) csoportosított, kétnyelvű szószedet (Wordlist) található.

A vizsga szerkezete A középszintű (B1) idegen nyelvi érettségi vizsga írásbeli és szóbeli részből áll. A sikeres érettségi vizsga feltétele, hogy a vizsgázó mind az írásbeli, mind a szóbeli részben az elérhető pontszám legalább 12%-át megszerezze.

ÍRÁSBELI VIZSGA Az írásbeli érettségi vizsga 4 feladatlapból áll.

Az Oxford Exam Trainer minden fejezetében legalább egy olvasott szövegértési feladat szerepel, és a kötetben valamennyi jellemző feladattípus megjelenik.

Nyelvhelyesség A vizsga második része azt méri, a vizsgázó képes-e gyakran használt nyelvtani szerkezetek és lexikai egységek felismerésére, kiegészítésére és létrehozására szövegszinten, azaz rendelkezik-e azokkal a nyelvi ismeretekkel, amelyek képessé teszik az önálló kommunikációra. A feladatlap általában 3 rövid, autentikus vagy szerkesztett szöveget és 3 egymástól különböző feladatot tartalmaz. A szövegek együttes terjedelme 500–600 szó, és a feladatok összesen 20–25 kérdésből állnak. Négy feladattípus fordul elő általában a középszintű nyelvhelyesség feladatlapon: • szövegkiegészítés feleletválasztással • önálló szövegkiegészítés • szövegkiegészítés megadott szókészletből vagy kifejezéskészletből • szövegkiegészítés szóképzéssel. A nyelvhelyesség feladatlap megoldására 30 perc fordítható, és a helyes megoldásra összesen 18 pont szerezhető. Az Oxford Exam Trainer valamennyi fejezetének törzsanyagában két nyelvhelyességet mérő vizsgafeladat szerepel, valamint egy harmadik feladattípus a fejezet végén szereplő összegzésben is megjelenik. A nyelvhelyességet gyakoroltató feladatokhoz kapcsolódó szóanyag a fejezetek elején, valamint az egyes szövegértési részekben; a nyelvtani anyag pedig a nyelvhelyesség rész elején egy rövid ismétlés erejéig, valamint a kötet végén szereplő, részletes ismertetést és gyakorlatokat is tartalmazó nyelvtan mellékletben (Grammar Reference) található.

Hallott szöveg értése

SZÓBELI VIZSGA

A vizsga harmadik része azt méri, a vizsgázó képes-e szövegek lényegét megérteni, gondolatmenetét nagy vonalakban követni és egyes tényszerű információkat a szövegből kiszűrni és megérteni. A feladatlap általában 3 rögzített hangzó szövegből (amelyben egy, kettő vagy több beszélő is szerepelhet), és 3 egymástól különböző feladatból áll. A szövegek együttes terjedelme 6–9 perc, és a feladatok összesen 20–25 kérdésből állnak. A feladattípusok a megadott lehetőségeken belül évről évre változhatnak. Jellemzően az alábbi feladatok fordulnak elő a vizsgákon: • igaz / hamis / nincs a szövegben állítások • párosítás, egymáshoz rendelés • kérdésekre adott rövid válaszok • hiányos mondatok kiegészítése • ténybeli hibák azonosítása és kijavítása • feleletválasztás. A vizsgán a vizsgázó minden szöveget kétszer hallgathat meg, a második meghallgatásnál megszakításokkal. A hallott szöveg értése feladatlap megoldására 30 perc áll rendelkezésre, és azon összesen 33 pontot lehet elérni.

A szóbeli érettségi vizsga tételeit az egyes iskolák tanárai dolgozzák ki központi útmutató alapján. Az egyes tételek vizsgázói feladatlapjain csak maga a második és harmadik feladat szerepel. (A vizsgáztatói feladatlapra ezen felül a vizsgázó számára nem látható további információk, kérdések is kerülnek.) A feladatok kidolgozásához felkészülési idő nincs, de a második és harmadik feladat előtt körülbelül fél percnyi rövid gondolkodási idő jár. A szóbeli vizsga azt méri, a vizsgázó képes-e gondolatait idegen nyelven szóban kifejezni, hogy milyen mértékben képes mind önálló témakifejtésre, mind beszélgetésben való aktív részvételre. A vizsgafeladatokat megelőzően a vizsgáztató rövid, legfeljebb egy perces terjedelmű bemelegítő beszélgetést kezdeményez a vizsgázóval. A szóbeli feladatsor mindig három fő részből áll. • A társalgási feladatban a vizsgázó egy konkrét témához kapcsolódó, szóban elhangzó kérdésekre válaszol (amelyek a feladatlapon nem szerepelnek). • A szerepjáték során a vizsgázó a mindennapi élet helyzeteihez hasonló, reális, személyéhez és élethelyzetéhez kapcsolódó szituációkban beszélget a beszélgetőtárs szerepét játszó vizsgáztatóval. A feladat tartalmazza a szituáció leírását, a szerepeket és az elérendő kommunikációs célokat, és tartalmazhat képeket vagy rövid szövegeket is. • Az önálló témakifejtés feladatban a vizsgázónak általában két egymáshoz valamilyen módon kapcsolódó kép és megadott irányító szempontok alapján kell gondolatait, véleményét összefüggően kifejtenie. A vizsgáztató szükség esetén előre megírt segítő kérdéseket tehet fel. A feladatnak nem része a képek tartalmának részletes leírása és aprólékos összevetése.

Az Oxford Exam Trainer minden fejezetében két különböző hallott szövegértési feladat szerepel, és a kötetben valamennyi jellemző feladattípus megjelenik.

Íráskészség Az írásbeli vizsga utolsó része azt méri, a vizsgázó képes-e magát idegen nyelven írásban kifejezni, és a feladatokban megadott kommunikációs célokat megvalósítani, képes-e ismert, köznapi témáról részletesen írni és azokról véleményét kifejteni, valamint hogy képes-e a szöveget megfelelő módon, a szövegtípus sajátosságainak megfelelően felépíteni, tagolni és megfogalmazni. Az íráskészség feladatlap mindig két feladatból áll: • interakciós / tranzakciós (80–100 szó terjedelmű) rövidebb szöveg létrehozása, megadott segédanyagra reagálva, három irányító szempont alapján, és • leíró / véleménykifejtő (100–120 szó terjedelmű) hosszabb szöveg létrehozása, segédanyagok és négy irányító szempont alapján. A feladathoz biztosított segédanyagok között előfordulhat egy adott szituáció részletes leírása, rövidebb-hosszabb szöveg (pl. felhívás vagy hirdetés, üzenet, levél vagy email, blogbejegyzés vagy internetes hozzászólás), vagy ábra, kép, grafikon vagy táblázat is. A vizsgán a két szöveg megírására 60 perc fordítható, és a feladatlapon maximum 33 pont érhető el. Az íráskészség vizsgán egy- vagy kétnyelvű nyomtatott szótár használható! Az Oxford Exam Trainer minden fejezetében egy íráskészség feladat található, és a kötetben valamennyi jellemzően előforduló feladattípus szerepel. A kötet végén az egyes szövegtípusok jellemzőit ismertető mintaszöveggyűjtemény (Writing Bank) található, a feladat megoldását segítő tanácsokkal és hasznos kifejezésekkel. Az írásbeli vizsga négy részét tehát 180 perc alatt kell megoldani, és a maximálisan elérhető pontszám 117 pont.


A szóbeli vizsga összesen 15 percig tart. Összesen 33 pont érhető el a három feladat megoldásával. Az Oxford Exam Trainer minden fejezetének végén egy, a fejezet témáihoz kapcsolódó teljes szóbeli feladatsor szerepel – az órai vagy önálló gyakorlás céljaihoz alkalmazott formában. A kötet végén található kifejezésgyűjtemény (Speaking Bank) az egyes kommunikációs célokhoz kapcsolódó kifejezéseket sorolja fel.

Az érettségi vizsgára készen! Az Oxford Exam Trainer legvégén egy teljes középszintű érettségi vizsga minta-feladatsora található, amelyet a tanultak összegzésére, próbavizsgaként használhatunk. Eredményes felkészülést, sikeres vizsgát kívánunk! 2017. szeptember

• Read the whole text to find out what it is generally about. • Read each statement carefully to see what information

0 F If you love food, then being a food critic is the job for you! Imagine visiting restaurants, sampling dishes and then writing articles about what you think of them. But although it sounds great, this isn’t an easy option. You need to have a good background in food and nutrition and you need good communication skills to write and present your reviews. 1

If you’re fearless and love sports like snowboarding and skydiving, why not be an extreme sports coach? It’s a dangerous job, but it will keep you fit and give you some excitement every day! In order to become a professional coach for extreme sports, you need to do a training course. You also need to be an adventurous kind of person!

2

Would you like to be an actor? Then take a trip to Hollywood. Get a part-time job, take some acting lessons and see what happens. The part-time job may be tedious, but after all, Brad Pitt worked as a chauffeur before he became a star, and Johnny Depp was a salesperson. Just make sure you go to a good drama school and learn about all the aspects of film-making.

3

Do you play computer games whenever you have free time? Then why not become a computer games tester? Testers are employed by development companies and are paid to review and test the newest games. Tempted? You need to have good computing skills, as you’ll need to detect any kinds of errors in the games. You’ll also need a lot of patience.

you are looking for in the text.

• A statement must match the sense of a paragraph. You may find words or phrases from the text in a statement, but it may not be the correct answer.

• Check that the remaining statements really don’t match any paragraphs.

It’s a job for very active people. It isn’t an easy way to see the world. It’s a highly competitive world. You can earn a lot of money doing very little. Do a dull job while you learn your skills. You need to be able to share your views. Be paid to find mistakes. WORK

the present perfect. Then, when we speak about the details of these events, we use the past simple. Ann has left her job at the bank. She didn’t like her boss. ▸ Other differences in using these tenses are presented in the table below. Perfect tenses

Past simple

We use the present perfect when we speak about experiences and activities without specifying when they happened. In sentences in this tense we often use the adverbs ever, never, just, yet and already, once/twice. Have you ever been to Spain? I’ve never been to Spain. Carrie has stayed at this hotel twice.

We use the past simple when we speak about activities which happened at a specific moment in the past. We often use words and phrases such as ago, last week/year, in 2009, yesterday and when I was eight with this tense. We also use the past simple in questions with when. When did Lee go to Spain? Lee went to Spain last year.

We use the present perfect and present perfect continuous when we speak about finished or unfinished activities or situations which have a visible effect now. We often combine these tenses with since and for, as well as how long. He’s been waiting for us for two hours. I’ve lived in Germany all my life.

We use the past simple when we speak about activities or situations which were finished in the past. He came here two hours ago. I lived in Germany from 2002 to 2006.

How to Find a Job Step 1 Complete your Curriculum Vitae. This is the document that includes all your personal information, qualifications (e.g. diplomas, degrees, etc.) and previous work experience. It should also include the contact details of two people that know you well at work or personally. These are your referees. Step 2 Look at job adverts on the internet and find a job that you are interested in. Download the application form, if there is one. Then send it off with a covering letter which will explain briefly who you are, where you saw the advert and why you want to apply for the job. Step 3 Wait to hear from the company to find out if they want you to come for an interview. Then start preparing for it. Step 4 When you are offered a job, decide carefully if you want to accept it. Then sign the contract. L ISTEN IN G 1 page 52

Hi, Terri. Err, I was wondering if we could get together this evening. I’ve got some problems at work and I thought you might know how to deal with them. It’s mostly our new boss. It seems she really dislikes me, and I just don’t know what to do about it. I mean, she praises people who don’t do half the work I do, and she never says a good word to me. I know you’ve dealt with something similar, so … anyway, give me a call. 2 It gets very busy, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, and I end up rushing all over the place. I used to mix up orders sometimes, which was a bit of a problem, but now I don’t make many mistakes. Most people are friendly and give me good tips. Occasionally you get someone who complains all the time about the service, but then some people just like to complain. You just learn to deal with it. 3 I’m sure your listeners would agree that problems at work aren’t only about the work itself. I’d say that nearly everyone experiences personal problems in the workplace at some point. The difficulty is that work isn’t only a place where people work – it’s also a social environment, just not one that you choose yourself. This means that you have to deal with types of people that you wouldn’t normally have much to do with. But there are several good ways to deal with personal conflict in the workplace …

4 First, I’d like to thank all of you for being here. I know it takes time out of your busy schedules, but I felt it was important that we get together and share some updates on the new training programme. As you know, we’re going to use a new computer system soon, both for keeping records and for doing our everyday work. I got to use it myself the other day, and I think it’s great – clear, simple and fast. But, of course we all need to learn how to use it, so we’re scheduling a series of training sessions in the coming months … LI S T E N I N G 1 page 54

Presenter: Youth unemployment is a big issue across Europe. Recent figures showing that seven out of ten young people in the UK spend at least six months out of work between leaving school and starting their first job. Some young people can spend as much as eighteen months looking for work. Joining me to discuss this is Louisa Ward who works for a youth charity in the UK. Louisa, tell us what you do? Louisa: Well, we try to work with young people from all backgrounds to help them find a job which suits them but we focus on those who come from disadvantaged areas. Those from wealthier families have more opportunities to succeed, so they don’t need our help as much. But our research suggests that less wealthy students, those who don’t have much money, can really struggle to find work. Presenter: I see, so you do most of your work in inner-city areas? Louisa: Yes, that’s right. We do have some agents in the countryside but we don’t do much work in those areas. Most of our work takes place in towns and cities. We work with NEETS, which means people who are not in Education, Employment or Training. We try to work with hard to reach people whose parents don’t have money for the basic things in life, like food and clothes. We give them chances that they might not otherwise get access to. Presenter: What do you do to help them? Louisa: We work with a number of different partners including sports teams and businesses. So, some of the people we have helped have learnt the value of teamwork and co-operation through rugby. For others, we have found placements in large companies where they have gained valuable work experience. These placements help students get a feeling of self-worth. Presenter: A feeling of self-worth? What do you mean by that? Louisa: Well, it shows them that they are important members of the community. That what they do has an effect on other people. They are part of something and they grow in confidence. But that’s only one side of our work. Actually, most of what we do is on a more personal level…

Presenter: I see, such as? Louisa: Well, we give advice on writing CVs, interview skills, dealing with work-related problems. You know, it can be quite stressful if you’ve never worked before and suddenly you have to be part of a team and have responsibilities. Some people struggle to make friends or find it difficult to respect the people in charge. We also work with younger teenagers, encouraging them to stay in school and achieve better grades. Presenter: It sounds like you have your hands full. Louisa: Yes, we are very busy, doing lots of different things, but it is very rewarding. What we are doing is breaking the cycle. We hope the kids of the people we are working with today won’t face the same challenges their parents did. Presenter: That’s great. Louisa Ward, thank you for joining me.
