Transcript for listening task
- Mom do you think it's going to be rainy tonight?
- Yes, sweetie. I think it will because there is thunder and lightning.
- What do you think, honey?
- Well, I guess so, because it was foggy this morning and it's humid.
- I think we should watch the world weather forecast.
- That's a great idea.
- Good evening. Welcome to the world weather forecast. Let's take a look at the weather now. It is cold and snowy today. In northern Canada people are staying in their homes for a
long winter day. While in South America the weather is hot and sunny. Everybody is enjoying their summer holidays. In some parts of Europe the temperature is cool. It will be very windy. It's like fall but today in Asia the weather is cloudy and warm. Everybody wants spring. Tonight in America the weather is overcast and rain is possible. And that's the world weather forecast for tonight. Brian Landers reporting.

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 recourses that can help them, for example, dictionary (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.
Always tell the learners that they have 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.
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 standardised mark scheme.

Transcript for listening task
How did all the planets get there? How is it only our planet has life? Will we ever travel to other planets? I often think about these questions. I think our planet is the best. It looks so beautiful from space with its mixture of blue and green. The other planets look too strange to me. Mercury is just a red, hot ball, pretty much the same as Mars. Saturn looks like a real planet. Its rings give it an extra-special look. The other planets don’t look that interesting. I don’t really know much about Venus, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter. When I was at school, we learnt that Pluto was a planet. However now it is not. Scientists have decided there are now only eight planets in our solar system and not nine. I wonder why they dropped Pluto.
