ECL - Practice Examination Book 1 [antikvár]

Preface The book you are holding in your hand is the revised edition of the 2008 practice examination book for level CI. This edition is made up-to-date and follows the changes in task types that took place since the compilation of the first edition. 2010 Edition contains colour pictures, located in the Appendix. Also the pictures for Practice test 1 and 5 have been updated and questions helping to describe them have been added. Our teaching experience has shown that a very good understanding of the test not only greatly increases your chance of passing the test first time, but also passing it with a very good result. Realistic practice test material used prior to the test, such as shown in this book, will prepare you for the actual test. If you should have problems understanding the information shown in this book, your teacher/tutor will be only too pleased to help you. Each practice test contains realistic tasks of the type you would find in a real ECL examination. There are many ways of using these practice examinations.

Notice the keywords that have been used to give the correct answers. You should not read the tapescript as you listen to the recording. In a real exam, you will not have access to the tapescript. If you wish to work through the practice examinations as if they were real tests, then you will find answer sheets for each practice exam. A complete answer key is provided, along with the tapescripts of the recordings. You will find it very useful to read these where you have answered questions incorrectly. However, you may need the help of a tutor/teacher to organise the test in the same way as a real examination is conducted. Above all, you should not read any of the answer sheets, pre-read any of the texts or look at any of the pictures before attempting a test. These practice tests are designed to
