2 Jenny Quintana This Test Booklet contains: ● an Entry test ● tests for each File, in A and B versions Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pronunciation Reading and Writing Listening and Speaking ● an extended End-of-course test, in A and B versions ● a Key New ENGLISH FILE Pre-intermediate Test Booklet In this test booklet you’ll find: • an Entry test • a test for each File of New English File Pre-intermediate • an End-of-course test The Entry test The Entry test is an optional test which covers some of the key Grammar and Vocabulary points from New English File Pre-intermediate. If you feel your class are at quite a low level, look out for the Extra support ideas in the Teacher’s Book. If they are stronger, look out for the Extra challenge ideas. The A and B tests There are two versions (A and B) of each File test and the End-of-course test, except the Speaking tests, which are designed for students to do in pairs. To prevent students from copying each other, make sure that a student with an A test is sitting next to a student with a B test. The two tests cover exactly the same material, but the questions have been changed and reorganized to make it almost impossible for students to copy answers. If copying isn’t a problem with your class, you can just use the A tests. The skills tests include KET-type exercises which reflect the format of the KET exam. Listening tests All the Listening tests re-use listenings from the Student’s Book. Some students may remember the contexts of the listenings, but they are very unlikely to remember the detail, and the listening exercises are KET-type tasks which are different from the tasks that students have already done. The Listening numbers are indicated in the Answer key. Answer key The Answer key for the tests starts on page 72. 1.19 Introduction New English File Pre-intermediate photocopiable © Oxford University Press 2005 2 All the Tests consist of: • Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pronunciation • Reading and Writing • Listening and Speaking • Total score If you do the Grammar, Vocabulary, and Pronunciation test but not Reading, Writing, Listening, or Speaking, double your students’ marks to give a total score out of 100, e.g. Grammar, Vocabulary, Pronunciation mark Total score out of If you do the Grammar, Vocabulary, Pronunciation test and Reading and Writing, but not Listening or Speaking, double your students’ Reading and Writing marks to give a percentage, e.g. Grammar, Vocabulary, Pronunciation mark Reading and Writing mark 18/25 = Total score out of These tests may be photocopied freely for classroom use.

Looking for love Looking for Love is an agency that finds partners for single people of any age. Read about Lisa. My name’s Lisa. I’m 25 years old and I’m from Manchester. I’m single and I’m looking for love. I’m a journalist on a local newspaper, which means I write stories about local issues and sometimes I interview politicians. I like my job, but I’d like to work on a national newspaper one day. That’s because I want to have the opportunity to work abroad. I have a small group of friends who I’ve known for years. I even went to school with some of them! I’m not really extrovert but I do like going out and having fun. We usually go out to parties, nightclubs, and restaurants. I also like cooking and I make great pasta! My ideal night in is a good meal, a glass of wine, and a DVD. I like thrillers much more than I like romantic comedies! I’m not very sporty, but I like to keep fit. I stopped smoking last year and now I go running twice a week and I sometimes go to the gym at weekends. I eat lots of fruit and vegetables and I try not to have red meat or too much coffee. At work, I drink water or tea. I prefer men who are interested in serious issues because I like talking about politics and what’s happening in the world. However, I also like men with a good sense of humour. These characteristics are more important to me than physical appearance. Please contact Looking for Love if you think you’re the kind of person I’m looking for! Example: Lisa is _____.
