knowledge of key grammar and vocabulary from beginner to pre-
intermediate levels
A reading comprehension with 10 graded questions
•
•
Part Three – 20 minutes
An optional writing task that assesses students’ ability to
•
produce the language
Interpreting scores
These tables act as a guideline for teachers when choosing
which level of Connections or New Adventures is suitable for
their students. Parts two and three are included separately so
that teachers who choose not to include these tasks in the test
can still make an accurate assessment of their students’ abilities.
Where there is a discrepancy in the level attained in the different
parts of the test, a student’s score for grammar and vocabulary
should take precedence. Alternatively, a teacher may wish to
conduct an additional oral interview to con rm the result.
Students whose scores fall on the borderlines should be placed
in the lower level and monitored closely at the start of the course.
It is always preferable to move students up a level than to move
them down one.

Students using Connections
Introduction
The placement test is intended to help teachers decide which
level of Connections or New Adventures , Starter, Elementary or
Pre-Intermediate, is the most suitable for their students. It should
be given at the beginning of the school year.
The placement test has been developed after consultation with
Polish teachers and is designed to assess students’ knowledge of
the key language as well as their receptive and productive skills.
This will enable teachers to have a greater understanding of what
level their students are at.

but I wasn’t very good!

The Perfect Job?
Many students have dreams about what job they would like to
do in the future. How about you? Would you like to be a doctor
or a lawyer? Maybe an actor or a writer? Well, there is a job in
Australia at the moment that people are calling ‘the perfect
job!’ It’s on a tropical island with clear blue skies and golden
beaches and for twelve hours work a month, for half a year, you
can earn £70,000!
In Australia, they are looking for someone to stay on Hamilton
Island. This is a tropical island in the Great Barrier Reef. The
person will live in a beautiful three bedroom villa with a
swimming pool and the house is free! The job isn’t very
di cult. It’s ‘caretaker’ of the island. Usually a caretaker looks
after buildings for the people who live there, but this caretaker
will look after the island. There isn’t a lot to do. He or she has to
feed some fi sh and collect the letters from the people on the
island – a bit like a postman!
There is another part of the job too. The ‘caretaker’ has to visit
lots of little islands in the area and learn all about them. Then
he has to write about them on a blog and make videos. The
Australians want more tourists to visit the area. That is the
really important part of the job.
So, what are the qualifi cations for this wonderful job? Well, they
want someone who likes living in warm temperatures. This
person must sail, swim and like taking photographs! And he
must like animals and exploring new places. It sounds perfect
to me!
