Paul’s class at school are studying castles in history. So last week their history
teacher, Mr Park, took them to visit an old castle on a hill next to the sea.
They went by bus and stopped at the bottom of the hill.
Mr Park pointed to the castle at the top of the hill and said, ‘There is no road
up there so we have to walk.’
The children were tired and thirsty when they arrived at the castle. But Mr
Park had juice for all of them. It was very interesting because Mr Park
showed them all the different parts of the castle and explained its history.

On the way down the hill Paul’s friends said, ‘Let’s have a race.’ So Paul and
his friends started to run.
‘Stop running!’ shouted Mr Park. But the boys ran faster and faster and then A2 Fly
Paul fell over and hurt his leg. It wasn’t broken, but he couldn’t walk very
well.
Mr Park saw a farmer on his horse in a field. He went to speak to him and
the farmer let Paul ride his big brown horse down the hill to the bus.
‘Sorry we didn’t listen to you on the hill,’ Paul said to Mr Park, ‘but we
listened in the castle. It was great! Can we come again?’

Summary of procedures
The usher introduces the child to the examiner. The examiner asks the child what
his/her name and surname is and how old he/she is.
1. The examiner shows the child the candidate’s copy of the Find the
Differences picture. The child is initially shown the examiner’s copy as well,
but then encouraged to look at the candidate’s copy only. The examiner then
makes a series of statements about the examiner’s picture and the child has
to respond by making statements showing how the candidate’s picture is
different, e.g. (examiner) ‘In my picture, the man is pointing at a cloud on the
map.’ (child) ‘In my picture, he’s pointing at the sun.’
2. The examiner shows the child the candidate’s copy of the Information
Exchange. The child is initially shown the examiner’s copy as well, but then is
encouraged to look at the candidate’s copy only. The examiner first asks the
child questions related to the information the child has, e.g. ‘What’s the
name of Robert’s favourite restaurant?’ and the child answers. The child then
asks the examiner questions,
e.g. ‘What’s the name of Sarah’s favourite restaurant?’ and the examiner
answers.
3. The examiner tells the child the name of the story and describes the first
picture,
e.g. ‘These pictures tell a story. It’s called “The Brave Teacher”. Just look at
the pictures first. (Pause) Nick and Anna are looking out of the classroom
window. The teacher isn’t happy because they’re not doing their work.’ The
examiner then asks the child to continue telling the story. The title of the
story and the name of the main character(s) are shown with the pictures in
the candidate booklet.
4. The examiner asks questions about a topic, e.g. ‘Now let’s talk about some
different months of the year. What’s the best month at school?’
