5. Administration rules
During the Assessment cover all visual materials like, diagram, schemes, posters and
maps that can serve as prompts for the learners.
At the beginning of the Assessment read out the instructions and inform the learners
about the assessment duration. Remind learners that they are not allowed to talk with each other
during the Summative Assessment. After the instructions, make sure they have understood given
instructions and ask if they have any questions before the start of the assessment.
Ensure that the learners are working individually and not helping each other. During the
Summative Assessment learners should not have any access to additional resources that can help
them, for example, dictionaries (excluding the cases when it is allowed in specification).
Recommend learners to cross the wrong answers instead of using an eraser.
During the assessment you can answer learners’ questions, regarding the instructions and
the assessment duration. You should not spell, paraphrase or provide any information that could
give the learner an advantage.
In case of finishing Listening section before than 10 minutes, feel free to come to
Reading section.
Always tell the learners that they have 15 and 5 minutes left before the end of the
Summative Assessment.
Tell the learners to stop writing and put down their pens/pencils on the desks at the end of
the Summative Assessment.
6. Moderation and marking
All teachers use the same version of the mark scheme. During the moderation process it
is necessary to check learner sample papers with the marks awarded to ensure there are no
deviations from the standardized mark scheme.

Reading
Task. Read the article about mobile phones and do the tasks.
Mobile Fever
Why are we so addicted to mobile phones? There are now over forty million people in
Britain with mobiles and if the present trend continues, every man, woman and child in Britain
will soon have one – or two, or three!
They can be expensive and are possibly bad for us. You can spend a lot of money if you
use your mobile a lot. According to some scientists, if we go on using mobiles, we’ll cook our
brains. Some people even say that radiation from mobiles causes cancer.
Teenagers are among the biggest users of mobiles, and ‘texting’ is creating a new
language full of abbreviations such as ‘How RU?’ in Japan, Surveys show teenagers are reading
less and mobile use is affecting the marks of secondary school learners. A big problem in Britain
is crime. Last year half a million British teenagers were victims of mobile phone theft.
As technology improves, mobiles can do more and more. If you have one of the new
multimedia mobiles, you can log on the net, pay for things, play games, interact with TV
programs and take photos to send to your friends.
Read the text again and answer the questions.
Example: Is this text about addiction to mobile phones?
A) No, it is not
B) Yes, it is
C) No information
D) Neither A nor B

Task. Read the article.
Holidays in Space
The World Tourism Organization says that space will soon be a popular place to go on
holiday – possibly by 2020. One Japanese company is getting ready. They are planning a space
holiday centre. It will look like a bicycle wheel and have a hotel for 100 people and a theme
park. It will travel round the Earth at a height of 300 km. The company hopes the centre will be
ready in 2017. The company chairman says that flying to the centre will probably be quicker
than flying from Hong Kong to Singapore. When they are on board of the centre, the tourists will
take short trips to the Moon or go for walks in space.
An American hotel group is also thinking of building a hotel, called the Lunar Hotel. This
will be on the Ьoon. Most of the hotel will be under the ground so it won’t become too hot or too
cold. The rooms will look just like they do on Earth. The guests will eat normal food for lunch.
The cooks will just push a button to mix dried food with water to become an instant meal!
