Передмова

     Даний  посібник містить тестові завдання для учнів 5-6 класів, які розроблені відповідно до тем, пропонованих чинною програмою загальноосвітніх навчальних закладів з іноземних мов.

   Завдання створені  у форматі міні-ЗНО, і це не випадково. Адже зміст завдань для здійснення контролю за знаннями учнів повинен враховувати головну мету навчання іноземної мови – формування в учнів комунікативної компетенції. Саме вищезазначений формат, на нашу думку,  дозволить вчителю неупереджено та незалежно оцінити рівень знань  учнів.

     Об'єктами контролю є читання і письмо як види мовленнєвої діяльності, а також лексичний і граматичний аспекти іншомовної комунікації (використання мови).

     Завдання для визначення рівня сформованості іншомовної компетенції в читанні орієнтуються на різні його стратегії: з розумінням основної інформації (ознайомлювальне читання), повної інформації (вивчаюче читання) та пошук окремих фактів (вибіркове читання) – Tasks 1-2.

     Контроль лексичної та граматичної компетенції (використання мови) передбачає визначення рівня сформованості мовних навичок: здатності самостійно добирати лексичні одиниці та граматичні явища відповідно до комунікативних потреб спілкування у межах сформульованих завдань – Tasks 3-4.

     Завдання для визначення рівня сформованості навичок письма зорієнтовані на виконання комунікативно-творчих видів діяльності: написання повідомлення, електронних листів, листів-вітаннь, запрошень на основі вивчених тем – Task 5.

 

Критерії оцінювання

     На виконання всіх завдань кожного із тестів міні-ЗНО ми пропонуємо відвести 60 хвилин або розподілити виконання завдань на 2 академічні години.

     У завданнях на встановлення відповідності – Task 1 – учням пропонується підібрати заголовки до текстів або частин текстів із поданих варіантів. Завдання вважається виконаним, якщо учень встановив правильну відповідність і позначив правильний варіант у бланку відповідей.

    Тест містить 5 завдань цієї форми (від №1 до №5 ), виконання яких буде оцінено в 0 або 1 бал.

    У завданнях з вибором однієї правильної відповіді – Task2 – до кожного завдання подано чотири варіанти відповіді, з яких лише один є правильним. Завдання вважається виконаним, якщо учень вибрав і позначив правильну відповідь у бланку відповідей.

     До тесту включено 5 завдань з вибором однієї правильної відповіді (від №6 до №10), що теж оцінюються в 0 або 1  бал.

     Завдання на заповнення пропусків у тексті – Tasks 3-4 –   пропонують доповнити речення в тексті словами  чи словосполученнями із поданих варіантів. Завдання вважається виконаним, якщо учасник тестування обрав і позначив правильний варіант відповіді у бланку відповідей .

     Тест містить 10 завдань цієї форми (від №11 до №20), що оцінюватимуться як і попередні завдання.

     Завдання з розгорнутою відповіддю передбачає створення учнем на бланку власного висловлювання у письмовій формі відповідно до запропонованої комунікативної ситуації. Це завдання оцінюється від 0 до 12 балів.

    Таким чином, максимально можлива набрана кількість балів за виконання  тестових завдань складає 32 бали.

FIFTH FORM

TIME FOR SCHOOL

 

 

Task 1

Read the texts below. Match choices (A-G). There are two choices you do not need to use. Write your answers on the separate answer sheet.

1.____________

It's seven o'clock in the morning. It's time to get up. Mother Hen says to her four little children, "Get up! Get up! Get up! It's time to go to school". The children don't want to get up, but they do. "Good chicken!" says Mother Hen. "Now do your morning exercises", "Very good", says Mother Hen. "Look at the clock. Do you know the time?" "Yes, we do", say four little chickens. "So, what's the time?" "It's eight o'clock". Mother Hen says, "It's time to go to school, isn't it?" "Oh, yes!" say four little chickens. They take their schoolbags, say "Good­bye" to their mother and go to school.

2.___________

At lessons of History pupils read and speak about the life of people in the past. At   Math   lessons   we   use   numbers   and   calculations. Lessons of PE are very popular because we play different sports there. Lessons of Biology are interesting because pupils learn about a human body, animals and plants. Lessons of  IT are useful because pupils learn how to use the computer. At Craft lessons we make different things and cook. I like to paint and to draw and I'm crazy about our Art lessons.

3.___________

Summerhill School in England is a private school, and  it’s very different from most other schools. There is a timetable, but students don’t have to the lessons. They sometimes play football instead! There is a meeting every week for all the children and teachers at the school, and they vote to decide the school rules there. The teachers and students all have to follow the rules. Does the head teacher have to follow the rules? Yes, she does!

4.__________

Carol :	Good morning! I’m Carol Gray! Who are you?
Peter:	Good morning! I’m Peter James and this is my new friend Veronica Caleb.
Carol:	Hi, Veronica! How are you?
Veronica:	I’m fine, thanks! And you?
Carol :	I’m OK. How old are you?
Peter:	I’m fourteen years old. Veronica is fourteen too. We are students.
Carol :	I’m fifteen! Nice to meet you!
Peter:	Nice to meet you too!

5.____________

     I go to Louis Armstrong Middle School in Queens, New York. It’s an old school, but I like it very much. There are about a thousand students and 130 teachers. We start lessons at 8:00 and finish at 2:30.

     The school is divided into three 4-storey buildings. The classrooms have old furniture, but they all have an interactive board, which make lessons much more interesting. The gymnasiums are well equipped, but there aren’t enough showers and the water is cold. The library has a huge amount of old books and I hate the smell of it. The canteen is big and clean and the food is quite good. The students’ room is too small so we spend a lot of time in the playground, my favourite place.

 

 

1. First day at school
2. A kind mother
3. School subjects
4. Unusual school
5. Studying at old school in America
6. Boring school

TIME FOR HOME

 

 

Task 1

Read the texts below. Match choices (A-G). There are three choices you do not need to use. Write your answers on the separate answer sheet.

EATING OUT IN UKRAINE

1.______ Ukrainians like going on picnics in summer and in spring. They can choose some nice place in the forest and enjoy the fresh air and scenic views. People take sandwiches, crisps, fruit, cakes and drinks. And, of course, it’s a ritual to cook a shashlyk (barbecue). But a sudden downpour can spoil the meal. So, if you have the dacha, it’s better to organize everything there.

2.______ Ukrainians don’t often visit restaurants because of the high prices, so then eat there on special occasions only. Some places have their own speciality like French or Indian cuisine, while others focus on the traditional Ukrainian menu.

3. ______Fast food restaurants are popular with young people as the atmosphere is informal, the service is quick and the prices are reasonable. Food includes hamburgars, pizzas, salads, French fries and fizzy drinks. Some people, however, find places like “McDonalds” too noisy and the food too greasy.

There are a lot of cafes and restaurants with national Ukrainian cuisine.

4._____ Their names are easy to remember. “Velyka lozhka”, “Puzata khata”, “Domashnya kukhnya”. They serve dishes that you normally eat at home: borshch, fried fish, chops, holubtsi (cabage roles), potato, buckwheat porridge, mlyntsi (pancakes) and varenyky stiffed with cottage cheese or cabbage. As these places are not very expensive many people visit for a lunch break.

 

A. Outdoor  activities

B.  Indian meal

C. Dislikes of restaurants

D. Young people’s favourite places

E. National cuisine

F. Popular restaurants

G. English restaurants

Task 1

Read the texts below. Match choices (A-G). There are two choices you do not need to use. Write your answers on the separate answer sheet.

1._________________

Dear Vicky,

I’m from Ukraine. Now I am on holiday in Yalta with my family. I am having a very good time. I love swimming in the sea. My brother likes playing on the beach. But our mum doesn’t like the beach. She is lying in the sun. She is wearing sunglasses. At the moment she is read­ing her favourite book. Our dad doesn’t like the sea. Now he is swim­ming in the swimming pool.

I hope you are fine.

Best wishes, Asya

2.________________

    It was a fine Saturday morning in May. Finley was in the garden cleaning his bike when he saw someone starting in front of him. It was an old man in a grey suit. He was smiling, and he was holding a bou­quet of flowers.

   “Good morning, young man”, the old gentleman said kindly. “Is Helen Miles at home?” “I’m sorry, sir”, said Finley, “but there’s no one called Helen Miles in this house. Are you sure you have come to the right address?”

“Oh, well, maybe I came to the wrong house”, said the old man, he walked towards the end of the garden.

“Sir, you’re going the wrong way!” said Finley.

3.______________

    The big problem is water pollution. Do you like swim­ming in the sea or drinking a cool gas water on a hot day? These simple pleasures may soon become a thing of past. Factories are polluting our rivers and lakes with danger­ous chemicals. Oil tankers are releasing black oil into our oceans. Consequently, sea life is threatened with extinction.

   Air pollution is another important issue. The cars and plants are giving off dangerous fumes. In the last few years, more and more people have developed allergies and brea­thing problems. If we don’t do something now, our cities will become impossible to live in.

 

4.____________

   Responsibility for pollution control rests with local and central government. Pollution control restricts emissions to air, water and land plus recycling of wastes. This is seen as a duty of any local government, not to mention centralized authorities.

 

5.______________

    In Scotland and Northern Ireland there will be heavy rain and maybe some snow during the afternoon, and on the hills temperatures will drop to below freezing, minus four or five. Over much of Scotland it will be cloudy, and windy, too, as the cold front moves in over the Atlantic. Northern Ireland can expect the same, but the rain will end: before evening comes. But again, very cold, with temperatures close to minus two or three. And that’s all from me.

 

A. Pollution Control

B. Emissions to air, water and land

C. Weather forecasts

D. Problems of the planet

Task 2

Read the text below. Choose the correct variant (A,B,C,D). Write your answers on the separate answer sheet.

Climate

Climate is the weather a certain place has over a long period of time. Climate influences plants, animals and people in different parts of the world. Ukraine is the largest country in Europe. It stretches from the mountains in the West to the steppes in the East, and from the marshes in the North to the sea in the South. Ukraine has picturesque scenery and a temperate conti­nental climate. It has cold winters with snow and warm summers. The temperature is between +25°С and -8°С. But the climate has recently changed. The world is be­coming hotter. Winters have become warmer. There is little snow in January and February. It is so because of the “greenhouse” effect. It works like this: sunlight gives us heat. Some of the heat warms the atmosphere, and some of the heat goes back into space. Nowadays the air is getting warmer because the heat can’t go back into space. That’s why winter and summer tempera­tures in some places are higher.

These climatic changes are dangerous for our planet. Earth is millions years old, much older than people. We know many of its secrets, but there is still much to learn yet.

 

6. Ukraine is the largest country in...

           A. Asia                              C. Africa

           B. Europe                               D. America

9.... gives us heat.

          A. sunlight                               C.  stars

          B. moon                             D. planet

10.The climatic changes are ... for our planet.

         A. good                                   C.  necessary

        B. dangerous                            D. important

Task 1

1._________________

My name is Oleh. I am eleven years old. l live in Ukraine in a small town not far from Lviv. I want to tell you a few words about my family. My family is not very large. I have got a mother, a father, a sister and a₍ grandmother. There are five of us in the family. My mother is a doctor. Her name is Anna. She is good-look- ing and kind. My father is a vet. His name is Victor. He is tall and sporty. He loves animals very much. My sister’s name is Olesya. She is five. She doesn’t go to school yet. Olesya likes drawing nature. My Gran­ny’s name is Anastasiya. She is a very kind and loving person. She takes care of all our family. We have got a pet. It is a big brown dog. His name is Dick. We are a friendly and happy family.

 

2.________________

   As they gathered around the table Mrs March said with a particularly happy face, “I’ve got a treat for you after supper”.

   A quick bright smile went round like a streak of sunshine. Beth clapped her hands, regardless of the biscuit she held, and Jo tossed up her napkin, crying, “A letter! A letter! A letter from Father!”

   “Yes, a nice long letter. He is well, and thinks he shall get through the cold season better than we feared. He sends all sorts of loving wishes for Christmas and an especial mes­sage to you, girls”, said Mrs March patting her pocket as if she had a treasure there...

3._________________

   ...They all drew to the fire, Mother in the big chair with Beth at her feet, Meg and Amy perched on either arm of the chair, and Jo leaning on the back, where no one would see any sign of emotion if the letter should happen to be touching. Very few letters were written in those hard times that were not touching, especially those which Father sent home. In this one little was said of the hardships of life, the dangers faced at war, or the homesickness. It was a cheerful, hopeful letter, full of lively descriptions of camp life, marches, and military news, and only at the end did the writer’s heart overflow with fatherly love and longing for the little girls at home.

4.__________________

Most of people in Ukraine work five days a week but some students work six days. As for my family, we have two days off. These are Saturday and Sunday. I like these days very much. We are not in a hurry in the morning and  can sleep longer than usual on these days.

If the weather is warm and sunny, we can play sports on the playground, walk in the park or go to the ci­nema. Sometimes my family and me go on a picnic to the forest. It is fantastic! When the weather is bad my friends come to my place. We listen to music, watch films, play table games or computer games.

In the evening, we usually read books or watch TV. Before going to bed I pack my school bag and get ready for my working day. I enjoy our days off very much because I have a real rest.

5.__________________

Task 1

Read the texts below. Match choices (A-G). There are two choices you do not need to use. Write your answers on the separate answer sheet.

1.___________

Dear Sir,

I’m writing to protest about the appearance of most schoolchildren nowadays. I find the way they dress quite appalling.

When I was at school, children had to wear uniform and looked neat and tidy. Nowadays, however, a lot of schools do not make their pupils wear uniform at all. They are allowed to wear clothes of their own choice which are often unpleasant and ridiculous. The boys seem to prefer having long hair — often unwashed and messy; the girls wear far too much make-up.

I would suggest that we should return to the standards of the past.

With all due respect,

John Smith

2.___________

     Look around your own classroom. Are there any desks? Is there a noticeboard? The answer is probably yes. Schools in large cities in India are the same. But outside the cities, they’re often very different. The children go to a small school in India. Their classroom is outside. There isn’t a noticeboard. There is a desk for the teacher, but there aren’t any desks for the children. In fact there aren’t any chairs – the children sit on the floor. But there are some books – and a lot of motivation!

3.___________

      In England, children start secondary school at the age of 11. In the first two years of secondary school, all the students study the same 12 subjects. They are: English, Maths, Science, Design and Technology, Information and Communication Technology, History, Geography, a Foreign language, Art and Design, Music, Citizenship and PE. When students are 14, they can choose the subjects that they like, but some subjects are still compulsory.

 

4.____________

Hello, I’m Carmen! I come from Spain, but recently I moved to London and started studying in a private school there.

 First, I couldn’t find the school. It is located in an isolated place, so it was very difficult to get there. But I like my new school; the teachers are kind and attentive. The school building is in excellent conditions. And I made some new friends in my classroom.

 And after school, I get the same orders at home. My mother keeps telling me: “get up, don’t be late, and make your bed”.

 Some things never change!

     I go to Hugh Roe O’Donnell Elementary School. It’s a small nice school in Boston, Massachusetts. There are only 15 teachers and about 250 students. Lessons start at 9:25 and finish at 3:25.

     Hugh Roe O’Donnell School is a relatively new school and the facilities are modern and attractive. The classrooms and the labs are big and well equipped (smart boards, video projectors...), the library has thousands  of  books and DVDs, the canteen is spacious and tidy  and the students’ room has lots of games, computers and magazines. There is also a gymnasium with showers and a big playground, my favourite place.  I love my school!

PRIMARY SCHOOL IN ENGLAND

In Great Britain school begins at the age of five. Many boys and girls usually leave school at the age of sixteen.

At half past twelve or at one o’clock they usually have lunch — meat, pudding, juice, an apple or a cake. They often sit on the carpet on the floor and listen to their teacher. English pupils often play outdoors.

English pupils have classes five days a week. Classes are usually over at four o’clock. Schools in England have not names, not numbers.

Shopping

When we want to buy something, we go to a shop. There are many kinds of shops in every town or city, but most of them have a food supermarket store, men's and women's clothing stores, grocery, a bakery and a butchery.

We like to do our shopping at big department stores and supermarkets. They sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenient.

 Shopping has common elements wherever it takes place. A buyer look for a seller who is offering something the buyer wants or needs at a price the buyer can afford to pay. Sellers often advertise their wares in newspapers, on the radio or TV, on posters etc. Sellers use a variety of tactics to induce buyers to purchase from them at a price which leaves some profit.

Shopping is a part of our daily life. And we have to deal with it whether we like it or not. There are people who hate going shopping. So they make a list of what they need and run through stores buying the needed things. Sometimes they even don't care about price. And there are people who go from store looking for goods of better quality and lower price. Those don't worry about the time they spend shopping.

But there is a very good service called Postal Market. It really helps you to save your time and get goods of high quality. You just have to look through a catalogue, choose the things you like, order them and wait a little to get them.

One day a traveler in Africa went for a walk. When he was far from home, he saw a lion. The lion saw him at the same time and began to go after him. When the traveler walked quickly, the lion walked quickly, too. When he stopped, the lion also stopped. The man thought, «The lion is going to jump at me when it is dark. І cannot run away, so I must think of something.» He looked round and saw a large stone. It was near a river which the lion could not see. The man came to the stone and sat behind it. Then he took a stick, put his coat and his hat on it and put the stick out above the stone.

Soon the lion came nearer. He saw the coat and the hat and jumped at them. He jumped straight over the place where the man sat and fell into the river.

It was his last jump, and the traveler went home.

port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It spoke

Our Holiday in New Zealand

Last year my husband Mike and I decided to visit New Zealand. We wanted to tour the city but we both hate long car journeys. The travel agent suggested a 13-day coach trip. It was a good price, so we booked it with our plane tickets. We made a good choice. The coach journey passed quickly and our driver told us about each place. We learnt a lot from him.

We flew from London to Christchurch and had a free day there be­fore the coach trip started. We weren’t at all tired so we walked around the city from morning till night. It has good museums, many restau­rants and lovely shops.

The best place we visited on the trip was Queenstown. You can choose to do almost anything, from sailing to climbing. We had three days there but it wasn’t enough. All the hotels were good. My favourite one was the Puka Park Lodge. It was on a hill above a beach and there were trees eve­rywhere. We woke up and listened to the birds signing. Now when we’re eating breakfast at home and we hear the noise of traffic, we think about those beautiful mornings in New Zealand!

Висновки

Добірка тестових завдань, яку пропонує посібник, допоможе вчителеві об’єктивно оцінити знання, вміння та навички, здобуті учнями протягом навчального року, а форма проведення тестування у форматі ЗНО спонукатиме їх до ефективної роботи на уроках, створюватиме атмосферу активності та бажання вивчати англійську мову.

Власний досвід авторів посібника доводить, що такі тестові роботи допомагають всебічному виявленню учнівських досягнень у навчанні. Самих же п’ятикласників та шестикласників  пропозиція “здавати ЗНО” зовсім не злякає, а, навпаки,спонукатиме до наполегливої праці для здобуття кращих результатів.
