27、band scale. In addition to the score for overall language ability, IELTS provides a score in the form of a profile for each of the four skills (Listening,Reading, Writing and Speaking). These score scores are recorded on the Test Report Form first language and date of birth. Each Overall statement w
28、hich gives a summary of the Engl5 are also reported on a nine-band scale. All along with details of the candidates nationality, 3and Score corresponds to a descriptive sh language ability of a candidate classified atthat level. The nine bands and their descriptive statements are as follows:9 Expert
29、User- Has fully operational command of the language: appropriate, accurate and fluent with complete understanding.8 Very Good User- Has fully operational command of the language with only occasional unsystematic inaccuracies and inappropriacies. Misunderstandings may occur in unfamiliar situations.
30、Handles complex detailed argumentation well.7 Good User- Has operational command of the language, though with occasional inaccuracies, inappropriacies and misunderstandings in some situations. Generally handles complex language well and understands detailed reasoning.6 Competent User- Has generally
31、effective command of the language despite some inaccuracies, inappropriacies and misunderstandings. Can use and understand fairly complex language, particularly in familiar situations.5 Modest User - Has partial command of the language, coping with overall meaning in most situations, though is likel
32、y to make many mistakes. Should be able to handle basic communication in own field.4 Limited User Basic competence is limited to familiar situations. Has frequent problems in understanding and expression. Is not ab/e to use complex language.3 Extremely Limited User- Conveys and understands only gene
33、ral meaning in very familiar situations. Frequent breakdowns in communication occur.2 Intermittent User- No real communication is possible except for the most basic informationusing isolated words or short formulae in familiar situations and to meet immediate needs. Has great difficulty understandin
34、g spoken and written English.1 Non User- Essentially has no ability to use the language beyond possibly a few isolated words.0 Did not attempt the test - No assessable information provided.MARKING THE PRACTICE TESTSListening and ReadingThe Answer Keys are on pages 118-125.Each question in the Listen
35、ing and Reading tests is worth one mark. Questions which require letter/ Roman numeral answersor Roman numerals, you should write onlyFor questions where the answers are lettersthe number of answers required. For example, if the answer is a single letter or numeral you should write only one answer.
36、If you have written more letters or numerals than are required, the answer must be marked wrong.Questions which require answers in the form of words or numbers Answers may be written in upper or lower case. Words in brackets are optional - they are correct, but not necessary. Alternative answers are
37、 separated by a slash (/). If you are asked to write an answer using a Certain number of words and/or (a) number(s), you will be penalised if you exceed this. For example, if a question specifies an answer using N MORE THAN THREE VvORDS and the correct answer is black leather coat1, the answer oat o
38、f black leather5 is incorrect in questions where you are expected to complete a gap, you should only transfer the necessary missing word(s) onto the answer sheet. For example, to complete in the where the correct answer is ,morning,) the answer in the morning, would be incorrect All answers require
39、correct spelling (including words in brackets). Both US and UK spelling are acceptable and are included in the Answer Key. All standard alternatives for numbers, dates and currencies are acceptable. All standard abbreviations are acceptable. You will find additional notes about individual answers in
40、 the Answer Key.WritingThe sample answers are on pages 126-135. It is not possible for you to give yourself a markfor the Writing tasks. We have provided sampl answers (written by candidates), showingtheir score and the examiners comments. These sample answers will give you an insightinto what is re
41、quired for the Writing test.HOW SHOULD YOU INTERPRET YOUR SCORES?At the end of each Listening and Reading Answer Key you will find a chart which will help you assess whether, on the basis of your Practice Test results, you are ready to take the ELTS test.In interpreting your score, there are a numbe
42、r of points you should bear in mind. Your performance in the real lELTS test will be reported in two ways: there will be a Band Score from 1 to 9 for each of the components and an Overall 巳and Score from 1 to 9, which is the average of your scores in the four components. However, institutions consid
43、ering your application are advised to look at both th0 Overall Band Score and the Bands for each component in order to determine whethanyou have the language skills needed for a particular course of study. For example, if your Course involves a lot of reading and writing, but no lectures, listening
44、skills might be less irtiportant and a score of 5 in Listening might be acceptable if the Overall Band Score was 7. However, for a course which has lots of lectures and spoken instructions, a score of 5 in Listening might be unacceptable even though the Overall Band Score was 7.Once you have marked
45、your tests, you should have some idea of whether your listening and reading skills are good enough for you to try the lELTS test, if you did well enough in one component, but not in others, you will have to decide for yourself whether you are ready to take the test.The Practice Tests have been check
46、ed to ensure that they are of approximately the same level of difficulty as the real lELTS test However, we cannot guarantee that your score in the Practice Tests will be reflected in the real lELTS test. The Practice Tests can only give you an idea of your possible future performance and it is ulti
47、mately up to you to make decisions based on your score.Different institutions accept different lELTS scores for different types of courses. We have based our recommendations on the average scores which the majority of institutions accept The institution to which you are applying may, of course, requ
48、ire a higher or lower score than most other institutions.Further informationFor more information about lELTS or any other Cambridge English Language Assessment examination, write to:Cambridge English Language Assessment1 Hills RoadCambridgeCB12EUUnited Kingdom https:/support.cambridgeengIish.orghttp:/www.ielts.orgSECTION 2 Questions 13-20ListeningTest 1SECTION 1 Questions 1-10Complete the table below.Write ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.COOKERY CLA
