Lesson 32
Final Assessment (Final test)
The format of this assessment is similar to the CA1 (Midterm Test), which you took in the middle of the course. However, in this Final Test there is one more part which focuses on written production, so
you will be required to write a text in appropriate style with no reference to dictionaries or other materials. The choices for the written production are based on the topics and language structure
practised during the course through the Communicative Writing tasks.
The estimated time for this Final Test is 100 minutes and it is divided in four parts:
Listening = 10 marks
Reading = 10 marks
Language in use (grammar and vocabulary) = 10 marks
Communicative writing = 10 marks
Total = 40 marks*
*In the Progress Report (Relatrio de Aproveitamento) the total of 40 marks is converted to 30 marks.

Lucy Bell is a senior instructor at Body & Soul in Wrexham, Wales. The centre
offers an array of options to the local community, ranging from field sports such as
football, volleyball and rugby to physical activities focused on mental and physical
health, such as yoga, meditation and tai chi. In addition to working with most of
the field sports currently being offered at the centre, she is also part of the
administrative team, managing the allocation of instructors and delivering training
sessions.
She went to Torquay Girls Grammar School where she obtained A levels in
English, German, French and economics (waiting for the results). She also
obtained her GCSEs (maths, English, science, history, geography, computer
studies, economics, art, French and German) in the same institution.
She has recently implemented a special recreational programme for the elderly in
the community. The programme, which is under her supervision and
management, has been well-accepted and has increased the number of students
aged between 50 - 60 years in 12%.
She is confident, self-motivated and has excellent organisational and interpersonal

skills. She is also very communicative, which is facilitated by the fact that she is
fluent in three foreign languages (French, Italian and German).
These characteristics have made her the President of School Debating Society and
member of a group which raises money for UNICEF through sponsored activities
and jumble sales.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to complain about the purchase of a XYZ-1000 microwave oven that I
bought on 3rd May at the cost of $300. The salesperson convinced me to pay the
suggested price, which included a 60-day money-back trial offer. However, the $300
was immediately charged to my Visa International.
I would like to inform you that this product did not perform satisfactorily, and after a
week I decided to return it to your company. One of your representatives promised
she would cancel all the charges, including the shipping and handling ones. However, I
received the credit card statement but no credit has been applied.
I called the customer service and urged to have this sum credited to my account. To
my disappointment, the attendant criticised me for returning the product and
recommended going to the retail shop and talk to the manager in person. It is not my
responsibility to pay for your company's lack of quality.
I would like a quick solution for my problem and the amount credited to my account
immediately so that I may remain a customer of your company in the future.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Jenson Staten

Communicative Writing 3 Reporting the result of a meeting
Introduction
The aim of this report is to describe the discussion carried out last Friday (15.05.2013) with Claire
Thompson, our business consultant. It is based on information made available by her team via
market research, and on views expressed by local people who were interviewed.
Type of business
Claires team conducted market research in order to assess the viability of an internet caf in the
region. Although there are two small cafs with reasonably priced home-made snacks in the area, an
internet caf would be a good option, in the words of some local people who were interviewed.
Location
West Street is a hectic area where lots of other businesses are already located. There is an array of
businesses ranging from pubs to bookshops there. This is mainly due to the fact that West Street is
quite close to the biggest university campus in the city and also because it has a good reputation for
its theatres. However, direct competition may be fierce because of two well-established cafs which
are popular with the local community. All things considered, the location seems to be a good choice
in general terms since there are no internet cafs in the area as mentioned previously.
Start-up costs
The start-up costs for the caf will total to 5,000 as expected, considering the refurbishment of the
premises, the purchase of the furniture and the computers. Nevertheless, Claire pointed out that
future investments may be necessary if expansion is in the plans. Claire also recommended including
all the extra expenses in the business plan as an appendix.
Conclusion
The proposal of a caf in the chosen area seems to be a viable option due to the characteristics of
the business demonstrated in this report. What is more, the location is convenient for university
students, who are likely to form the biggest part of the clientele. The start-up costs are under
control, but it is highly advisable to maintain funds for unexpected events.

Communicative Writing 4 Writing a review of a voyeuristic TV show or

documentary
Last nights TV The lost tribe of the Amazon
The documentary The lost tribe of the Amazon was screened last night on national television
as the latest episode in the popular series Disappearing Planet made by Birdsview Productions,
which aims to record parts of our natural world before they disappear. Previous episodes have
dealt with issues such as the melting of the polar ice caps and the extinction of the white
rhino.
The lost tribe of the Amazon tells the story of one of the few remaining tribes still untouched
by western civilisation. The idea is to show that peoples like this are in danger from the logging
industry, which is creeping ever further into the heart of the worlds largest rainforest. We are
shown the unspoilt beauty of this part of the upper Amazon and the simple way of life that
these people follow: hunting, fishing and gathering the fruits of the forest.
The documentary is beautifully filmed and well researched, but it is unconventional in that it
tells this story from a distance. Most of the filming is done from a nearby hillside, some from a
helicopter. The human subjects do not talk to the camera; all we hear is the commentators
voice and the sounds of the forest. The filmmakers themselves claim that the tribe itself was
unaware that their lives were being watched and recorded. But we, the viewers, only have
their word for this. And whether they knew it or not, I still felt uncomfortable watching: it
seemed voyeuristic.
The documentary-makers job is to inform its audience. In this sense, the Birdsview team have
done a good job. But they also have a responsibility to get the permission of their subjects
first. And knowing that this was not the case with The lost tribe of the Amazon I cannot give it
my approval.
1 = Description of the background or aims of the programme
2 = Description of the plot or content
3 = Description of the qualities of the programme + Authors feelings about it
4 = Recommendation to other viewers

on the whole
to sum up
Examples:
She spends a lot of money on clothes. She is also fond of buying expensive jewellery. In
short, she is extremely extravagant.
The car is not new but it is in good condition. The price too is very reasonable. On the
whole, I think it is quite a good bargain.
The film has a very unusual plot, with plenty of action. Both the acting and photography.
To sum up, this is a film you should not miss.

Examples:
He tried to open one of the small windows. At first it remained firmly closed but, in the
end, after a great deal of effort, he managed to open it a few inches.
... and the fire has finally been brought under control. Several men are still missing.
Meanwhile the causes of the explosion are still being investigated.
*That is, indicating temporal relationships. This is a very open-ended group of devices, as the
number of bracketed item shows. For example, instead of at the same time, we may have: at that
time/at that moment.
O) Result
accordingly
as a result
consequently
for that reason

hence
the (consequence) of that is...
then
therefore
thus
Examples:
Most people were opposes to the scheme on the grounds that it was too expensive.
Accordingly, it is now being re-examined to see if costs can be reduced.
Seven inches of snow fell during the night, blocking most main roads. As a result, traffic
conditions have been chaotic.
that is (to say)

to put it more (simply)
Examples:
Towards the end of the party he got up and danced on the table. In other words, he
made a complete fool of himself.
Most people felt that the project was not worthwhile in proportion to the amount of
time it would take to complete it and equally the financial expenditure involved. To put
it more simply, it was a waste of time and money.
Q) Replacement
Again
Alternatively
(better) still
on the other hand
the alternative is...
Examples:
It is very likely that we shall go by car, even though it is a long drive, because we shall
need some means of transport while we are there. Alternatively, we might fly out and
hire a car when we arrive.
If things get any worse, we might have to arrange apublic meeting to discuss the matter.
Better still, we could even organise a demonstration.
R) Transition
As far as... is concerned
As for...
Incidentally
now
to turn to...
with (reference) to...
Examples:
We can leave most of the details of the proposal until the next meeting. Now, as far as
money is concerned, this needs careful consideration.
In the end, he decided to sell his car. This, incidentally, proved to be a mistake.
In order to make your text more cohesive and better to read, you also use of synonyms
to avoid repetition.
Examples:
These cars were first made in 1972. When they were first produced, they were not very
popular.
If you have any thoughts on the subject, please let me know. I will be interested to hear
your ideas.

Unit 8, Listening, Exercises 1 and 2 [track 31]

1 In itself its not that stimulating a job, and I was never
going to follow a career in it. But I met some really
interesting people. Usually I was just ferrying equipment
from one place to another and fetching things from the
nearest town, because the film location was out in the
country, miles from anywhere. But I also got to take some
of the actors to and from the set where they were
shooting back to the hotel. The best was Dustin Hoffman.
He was a really nice guy very funny and not at all self
important. As a summer job, I couldnt have asked for
anything better.
2 Its my sister-in-laws business and I knew from her how
stressful it can get. Its someone elses big day and you
cant afford to make any mistakes: everything has to be
just right. Sometimes people can get a little too involved. I
remember on one occasion the bride coming to the
reception hall about two hours before the ceremony to
check that all the tables were laid out as she wanted. But
she didnt like the way that the flowers at the centre of
each table had been done and she stood over us for an
hour while we re-arranged them.
3 It was a perfect job for me because I love animals anyway
Im going to study veterinary science at college next
year. Ive known the lady who runs the business for years
because we sold her some rabbits when I was about 12.
(We kept rabbits at home and they were always
reproducing.) Whats interesting about it is that its more
than just selling pet food a lot of times people come in
to ask you for advice about animal care and I really enjoy
that aspect of it. Also, when customers come in to buy a
pet, you feel quite a lot of responsibility to make sure they
know what theyre letting themselves in for and that the
pet is going to be properly looked after.
4 I think the right term for this kind of work is a Mcjob

monotonous, badly-paid, with few career prospects, but
do you know what? I really enjoyed it. The food we were
serving was pretty awful, but because it was cheap,
standardised fast food, the customers kept coming. So we
were really busy on our feet most of the time and I think
what happens in that situation is that as a team you kind
of pull together and support each other through whats a
fairly unpleasant experience. The rest of the staff were
fantastic and I made some really good friends we often
used to go out together after the evening shift.
5 All my friends from university thought I was mad when I
took this job, but Id read an article that said that people in
trades like this electricians, plasterers, roofers and so on
actually make more money than people following socalled professional careers like accountancy or law. And
since Ive always liked physically demanding work and
Im quite good with my hands, I thought Id give it a go. In
fact I didnt learn as much as Id hoped to: it was all fairly
mechanical stuff cutting lengths of pipe, installing water
tanks and often working in really cramped and hot
conditions in peoples attics. I only lasted two months and
then I quit.
Unit 8, Pronunciation, Exercise 2 [track 32]

1 She is quite ambitious actually.
2 A lot of people ask you if you can advise them.
3 The interview didnt go at all as I expected it to.
4 I applied for a job as a porter in a hotel.
5 I ordered a tomato and cheese sandwich.
6 I go out of the office every two hours to get some
fresh air.

H = Headmistress, NT = New teacher
H: So, Stephen. How are things going?
NT: Not bad. It was a bit of a shock at first, teaching the top
class.
H: What do you mean by a shock?
NT: Well, at training college we focused on teaching
Grade 1 literacy and numeracy.
H: In other words, basic reading and arithmetic.
NT: Yes, and the top class here is quite advanced.
H: I see. So, are you saying that its too difficult?
NT: Sorry, Im not with you.
H: I mean, perhaps you should stick to lower levels.
NT: Oh no, its OK. It was just a bit of a surprise at first.
1 Two loaves of bread for the price of one. Wow! Thats a
good deal ... Or is it? The trouble with most regular
supermarkets buy one, get one free food offers is that
often that second item goes bad before you have a chance
to use it. How many times have you had to throw away a
loaf of bread or a carton of milk because its past its use-by
date? So, here at Lucky Shopper Supermarkets, on
selected items, you can buy one item of food and get a
voucher to claim the second item of food free any time
within one week. This way you will save money and at the
same time prevent unnecessary waste. So get down to
your local Lucky Shopper and take advantage of our
unique buy one, get one free offers! Lucky Shopper
arent you the lucky one?

2 Filmfifty is the new way to enjoy your favourite films at

home. We are now the biggest online film rental service in
the country. At the moment you have two options: your
local rental store or mail rental companies. Lets face it,
the local rental store isnt great. They probably dont have
the film you want because others got there first. If they
do, they will rent it to you for 24 hours and charge you
another day if you fail to return it on time. The mail rental
company is a little more flexible, but who wants to wait
two days to get their film in the post? You want to watch
it now. Thats where Filmfifty comes in. Subscribe for a
year and then choose one film a week to watch. Well
send it direct to your computer to download, where it will
remain active for one week. No waiting, no
disappointment and no extra charges. This month were
offering customers a free two-week trial. Just go on to our
website at filmfifty.com and sign up. Filmfifty less hassle,
more film.

BA = Business adviser, E = Entrepreneur
BA Good morning. So, how can I help?
E Well, Ive got an idea for a mobile coffee shop and I want
to know how I go about getting a street trading licence.
BA Well, Id recommend going to the City Council. Is it just
one site you want to operate at?
E Not really. I want to move around. The station in the
morning, the main shopping street at lunchtime, and so
on. Is there a possibility of getting a multi-site licence?
BA Mmm. Thats tricky. I think you ought to try applying for
a single licence to begin with. But actually the first thing
you should do is go and talk to the Council about your
plans.
E So, are you advising me to be completely open with them
from the start?
BA Yes, theyre very friendly. But before going there, make
sure you have all the details. My advice would be to
write a clear business plan and take it to them.
E Thank you. Thats very helpful.

I = Interviewer, R = Reviewer
I So, you watched a re-run of The Oprah Show. Any
surprises or was it pretty much what you expected?
R It wasnt the regular show, actually. It was her What
would you do? series that I saw. Its a series of staged
situations, where actors play out a scene in front of
passers-by to see how people react. Basically the
passers-by are faced with a kind of moral dilemma
should they intervene in some way or not?
I What kind of situations?
R Well, the first was a classic teenage bullying situation.
It was in a public park and there were four girls and
three of them are teasing the other one and being
mean to her, saying things like, Youre such a loser and
Its no wonder nobody likes you. Meanwhile, the girl
whos being bullied is getting more and more
visibly upset.
I And what do the passers-by do? Does anyone step in?
R Practically all of the men just keep on walking, but
most of the women do stop and give the three mean
girls a piece of their mind. When they were interviewed
afterwards about it, the women who intervened mostly
said it was either because they empathised (they
remember being in the same situation themselves when
they were young) or that they felt worried for the girls
physical safety. Quite a few thought that it was going to
come to blows pretty soon.
I And what did it make you think about how you would
have reacted?
R Yeah, well, thats where it becomes interesting ...from
a psychological point of view ... and I guess thats the
value of a programme like this. You could just say it was
voyeuristic, but of course it makes you think about the
right thing to do. I hope I would have told the mean girls
to back off
I And what was the other situation?
22

R Yeah ... I dont know about this one. It was more

sensational somehow, like it was trying to get a
reaction from the audience. What happens is you see
a well-dressed woman walking near the station during
a busy commuter time and suddenly she collapses you
imagine from a stroke or something. Within seconds
people are around her, covering her with a coat to keep
her warm, calling for an ambulance. Then they do the
same thing with an older man, badly dressed, a bit dirty
could be a homeless guy. About 70 people go past
before anyone stops to do anything. Some even just step
over him ...
I Mmm, but perhaps people are afraid ... He could be
mentally ill or a drunk ...
R Yes, I know. Thats why it seemed a slightly unfair
experiment. But then, when you think about it, thats not
really an excuse for doing nothing ...
I So, overall would you watch the show again?
R I might. I think it has a serious point to it. And if it helps
people to be more aware of their moral duty to help
others in difficulty, then I think thats a very positive
thing

TA = Travel agent, C = Customer
TA Hi. Can I help you?
C Yes. Were looking for a beach holiday this summer
for two weeks in July.
TA OK. Did you have anywhere particular in mind?
C Well, definitely somewhere hot. We were thinking of
Spain, but we dont want to go anywhere too crowded.
Wed prefer to give the big resorts a miss.
TA And have you got a budget? I mean, is money an issue
for you?
C Well, we just wanted to get an idea of the price of
things first.
TA I see. Well, there are some fantastic deals on Spanish
resorts at the moment.
C Are they package holidays with everything included?
TA Thats right. Ill show you some examples.
C Could we look at some villas instead?
TA Yes, of course. How many of you are there?
C Were a family of four. Two adults and two children, 12
and 14.
