テストの内容(21) Speaking（補足）

各パートごとの総合的な評価は、interlocutorのほうが行うようです。
One examiner, the interlocutor, conducts the test and gives a global assessment of each candidate’s performance. The other, the assessor, does not take any part in the interaction but focuses solely on listening to, and making an assessment of, each candidate’s oral proficiency.

各パートで期待されることは以下のようです。

PART 1 Interview
This part tests the candidates’ ability to use social and interactional language.
The questions which are asked relate to the candidates’ own lives and focus on areas such as work, leisure time and future plans. Candidates are expected to respond to the interlocutor’s questions, and to listen to what their partner has to say.
ここは、英語で会話ができることを示すだけでよさそうな感じです。

PART 2 Long turn
This part tests the candidates’ ability to produce an extended piece of discourse.
Candidates are expected to point out similarities and differences between the photographs and then move on to deal with the question, answering it with reference to both photographs. Candidates have the opportunity to show their ability to organise their thoughts and ideas, and express themselves coherently with appropriate language. The listening candidate is also asked to comment (for about 30 seconds) after their partner’s long turn.
ここでは、写真を比較することが重要なようです。

PART 3 Collaborative task
This part tests the candidates’ ability to engage in a discussion and to work towards a negotiated outcome of the task set.
They are given a discussion question, together with five written prompts designed to help candidates by providing ideas for their discussion. Candidates are expected to answer the question by exploring the different prompts. Candidates can choose which prompts to discuss and are not expected to discuss all five prompts in the time available but should continue their discussion until asked to stop by the interlocutor.
Candidates are expected to express and justify their opinions and speculate in order to have a conversation which answers the discussion question. The interlocutor will then ask candidates a second question designed to encourage them to summarise their discussion and to work towards a negotiated decision. Candidates are not penalised if they fail to reach a negotiated decision. They are assessed on their ability to hold a conversation, to turn-take appropriately, and to use the language of negotiation and collaboration while doing this.
The task is opinion based and there is no right or wrong answer. The task gives candidates the opportunity to show their range of language and their ability to invite the opinions and ideas of their partner. Candidates are expected to share the interaction in this way and to initiate and respond appropriately.
ここでは、（どんな相手であっても）英語で議論することができるという能力を見せられることが、大事なようです。討議が中途半端でも、結論がでなくても、失点されることはなさそうです。

PART 4 Discussion
This part tests the candidates’ ability to engage in a discussion based on the topic of the collaborative task in Part 3.
This part of the test gives candidates an opportunity to show that they are capable of discussing issues in more depth than in the earlier parts of the test.
より深い議論ができることを示すことが大事なようです。

語学のテストなので、意見の内容ではなく、、適切な表現力、会話や討議の能力、言葉の正確さ・多様さ、などの「形式」が重要なようです。

テストの内容(20) Speaking（配点）

Speakingは60点の構成。

以下の要素ごとに10点ずつ。40点。
The assessor gives 0–5 marks for each of the following criteria:
Grammar and Vocabulary
Discourse Management

Marks for each of these criteria are doubled.

各Partの点が、5点ずつで20点。
The interlocutor gives a mark of 0–5 for Global Achievement. This mark is then multiplied by four.
Examiners may award half marks. Marks for all criteria are then combined, meaning there are 60 marks available in the Speaking test.

テストの内容(19) Speaking（全般）

Speakingテストは、他の受験生と一緒に、２名の試験官の前でテストを受けるということです。

In the test, one examiner (the interlocutor) will speak to you and your partner whilst the other (the assessor) will just listen and won’t talk or interact with you. The interlocutor will use your first name. To ensure that the test is fair for all candidates, the
interlocutor follows a script to help guide you through the test. Therefore, conversation during the test may not always feel normal or natural. You will take the Speaking test with another candidate (or sometimes two other candidates) and both you and your partner will be given an equal opportunity to speak. The test will have set time limits. If the interlocutor interrupts you, don’t worry. This shows you have spoken enough within that part of the test.

http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/exams/what-to-expect-on-exam-day/speaking-tests/

全部で14分。４つのパート。

Part 1: Interview (2 minutes)
A conversation between the interlocutor and each candidate (spoken questions).
The examiner asks questions and you may have to give information about your interests, studies, career, etc.

Part 2: Long turn (1 minute / 30seconds)
An individual ‘long turn’ for each candidate, followed by a response from the second candidate (visual and written stimuli with spoken instructions).
The examiner gives you two photographs and asks you to talk about them. You have to speak for 1 minute without interruption and the interlocutor then asks the other candidate to comment on your photographs for about 30 seconds.
The other candidate receives a different set of photographs and you have to listen and comment when they have finished speaking. The question you have to answer about your photographs is written at the top of the page to remind you what you should talk about.

Part 3: Collaborative task (3 minutes: a 2-minute discussion followed by a 1-minute decision-making task)
A two-way conversation between the candidates (written stimuli, with spoken instructions).
Conversation with the other candidate. The examiner gives you some material and a task to do. You have to talk with the other candidate and make a decision.

Part 4: Discussion (4 minutes)
A two-way conversation between the candidates (written stimuli, with spoken instructions).
Further discussion with the other candidate, guided by questions from the examiner, about the topics or issues raised in the task in Part 3.

なお、受験生が3人の組に入った場合は、20分ということ。
three candidates are tested together, the test format, test material and procedure will remain unchanged, but the timing will be longer: 20 minutes instead of 14.


受験経験者の話を聞くと、一緒の組になる受験生の当たり外れは少なからずありそうです。
What if the two candidates have very different personalities, e.g. one is very shy and one is very outgoing?
Examiners are trained to manage this situation and ensure that everyone has an equal chance to show their abilities during the test. However, you must try to make the best use of the time to show the examiners your language skills without dominating your partner.
日本でFirstを受験する人は、英国または英連邦の国に語学留学に行ってきた人が多いようなのですが、スキルレベルがかなり異なるようです。難しい人に当たってしまった場合は、相手に引っ張られないように、上手に試験官とコミュニケーションしないと無駄に失点してしまいます。

テストの内容(18) Listening - Part4

Part4: Multiple choice

１つのインタビューを聞いて、8つの問題について、3つの選択肢から選ぶ問題。

問題用紙のインストラクション
—————
You will hear......
For questions 24 – 30, choose the best answer (A, B or C).
—————

In this part you will usually hear an interview. There are seven questions. Each question has three options. You must chose the correct option. The questions follow the order of the information in the interview You will hear the recording twice and you have one minute to read through the questions before the listen.

最初に1分問題と選択肢を読む時間が与えられるようです。またしてもReading力の問題。
繰り返しが、すぐ繰り返されるのか、少しインターバルがあるかで、違ってきそうです。

質問の意味と選択肢の意味を考えて、発言した内容とマッチさせるのに、整理する力が必要そうです。
Listeningセクション最後の5分の時間の使い道も含めて、落ち着いて問題を解けるようにならないとです。

Listeningは、できるだけ失点したくないのですが。
そういう思いが強いと、焦って間違ったりするので、欲を出さず、出題形式に慣れておきたいと思います。
受験した人たちの話を聞くと、自宅で練習問題を解くよりも、本番のほうがスピードが速く、音が割れたり外の雑音が入って聞き取りにくく、難易度が高いということのようですし。
それよりなにより。各パートのところで書いてきたように、読解力・Reading力がなによりもキーなのですから。

テストの内容(17) Listening - Part3

Part3: Multiple matching

５つの関連する発言について、８つの選択肢からマッチングさせる問題。

問題用紙のインストラクション
—————
You will hear five short extracts in which.....
For questions 19 – 23, choose from the list (A – H) what each speaker.....
Use the letters only once. There are three extra letters which you do not need to use.
—————

In this part you hear five short extracts which are al related each other in some way. It may be that the speakers are all talking about the same subject or experiences. Another possible link may be feeling or job. You need to match each of the five extracts to one of eight options. You hear the extracts twice, and it is very important that you take the opportunity to check your answers carefully during the second listening. One mistake could affect two answers.


これも、最初に選択肢を読み解くReading力と、落ち着いて問題を解くのがキーでしょうか。
ひっかけの選択肢が混ざっていると思いますし。発言もわざと紛らわしいことを言うのだと思います。
One mistake could affect two answersで、組み合わせを間違うと大きく失点する可能性は確かにありますね。

テストの内容(16) Listening - Part2

Part2: Sentence completion

記述式の穴埋め問題。

問題用紙のインストラクション
—————
You will hear....
For questions 9 – 18, complete the sentences with a word or short phrase.
—————

In this part you will hear a monologue, such as a talk or a lecture. The task is complete a set of sentences. You have 45 seconds to read the questions for this part. Use the time before the recording to starts to predict what you might hear, underlining key words and phrases.

教科書のExam Advice:
Write down the actual words that you hear - don't waste time trying to rephrase the information.
Don't include extra information - you only need to write one, two or three words at most.
Don't panic if you miss question at the first listening - listen out for the answer at the second listening.

最初に45秒問題を読む時間があり、空欄に埋めるのは単語か短いフレーズ。（多くても３語）聞いたまま記入。
どこにも書いてないですが、問題は話す順番に出てくるのではないかなと思います。

これも最初の 45秒で問題を把握するReading力がキーのように思います。
繰り返しは、すぐに繰り返されるのか、少しインターバルがあるのかで違ってくるように思います。（今の所、情報不明）
あとはスペル。

テストの内容(15) Listening - Part1

Part1: Short extracts

全8問。３つの選択肢から解答を選ぶ問題。

問題用紙のインストラクション
—————
You will hear people talking in eight different situations. For questions 1 – 8, choose the best answer
(A, B or C).
—————

In this part you will hear eight unconnected short recordings of about 30 seconds each. There will be either one or two speakers. Each recording is repeated.

You should make the best use of the time available. During the pause before each recording stars, read through each question and think about what to listen out for.

１問ずつ内容がバラバラ。モノローグか会話のいずれか。同じ問題が続けてリピートされるようです。
また、各問題の合間に、少し時間があるみたいです。

教科書のExam Advice:
Chose your answers at the first listening.
Check your answers at the second listening.
Keep calm and make a guess if necessary.

ここは確実に点数を稼ぎたいところですが。
2回繰り返されると、逆にひっかけの選択肢で迷いが出そうなのが落とし穴かも。
ListeingというよりReadingですね。選択肢を短時間で選別するのがポイントだと思います。

時間配分と、繰り返し聞けることから、TOEICに比べるとかなり親切な？感じも受けますが、どうもPart2の難易度が高そうな感じです。

テストの内容(13) Writing - Part2

Part 2 Candidates choose one task from a choice of three questions.

Part3は3つの問題から選択する問題。

問題用紙のインストラクション
—————
Write an answer to one of the questions 2 - 4 in this part. Write your answer in 140 -190 words in an appropriate style on separate answer sheet. Put the question number in the box at the top of the answer sheet.
—————

次のいずれかから出題されるようです。
—————
Article:
Usually written for an English-language magazine of news letter and the reader is assumed to have similar interests to the writer. The main purpose is to interest and engage the reader, so there should be some opinion or comment.

Email/Letter:
Written in response to the situation outlined in the question. Letters and emails will require a response which is consistently appropriate in register and tone for the specified target reader. Candidates can expect to be asked to write letters or emails to, for example, English-speaking friend or colleague, a potential employer, a collage principal or a magazine editor.

Essay:
Always written for the teacher. It should answer the question given by addressing both content points and providing a new content point of the writer's own. The essay should be well organised, with an introduction and an appropriate conclusion and should be written in appropriate register and tone.

Report:
Usually written for a superior (e.g. teacher) or peer group (e.g. members of English club). Candidates are expected to give some factual information and make suggestions or recommendations. A report should be clearly organised and may include headings.

Review:
Usually written for an English-Language magazine, newspapers or website. The main purpose is to describe and express a personal opinion about something which the writer has experienced (e.g. a film, a holiday, a product, a website) and to give the reader a clear impression of what the item discussed is like. Description and explanation are key functions for the task, and a review will normally include a recommendation to the reader.
—————

（以下は、かなり憶測が入っているのでご注意ください。）
Sample問題では、ReviewとArticleとカジュアルEmailですが、First for Schools向け？と思うような内容。
Firstを受験した人たちなどからの伝聞を基に推測すると、最近はカジュアルなEmailは出題されなくなってきている傾向があるようです。また、ただの憶測ですが、小論文はPart1で必須なので、そんなに出題されないのではと思います。
個人的には、Reportが書きやすいのですが、あまり出題されていない感じです。
ReviewやArticleは、問題のテーマに依存するというか、想像力というか創造(創作)力が働かないと何を書いていいか全く思いつかないです。
シチュエーションがはっきりしている、正式な手紙を選択するのが無難な感じがします。
とはいえ、的を絞ってしまうと、外れた時のダメージが大きいので、いずれの形式にも対応しておくのが安心感があり確実です。
Part1、Part2共に、Writingはアイディアというか発想が試験の50%を決定するという感じがします。

テストの内容(12) Writing - Part1

テストの内容(11) Writing（配点）

配点は、以下の4つの要素ごとに0〜5点に採点基準がありそうです。2つパートがあるので満点で、40点。
—————
How are extended responses in Writing assessed?
Examiners mark tasks using assessment scales developed with explicit reference to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The scales, which are used across the Cambridge English General and Business English Writing tests, are made up of four subscales:
• Content - focuses on how well the candidate has fulfilled the task – if they have done what they were asked to do.
• Communicative achievement - focuses on how appropriate the writing is for the task and whether the candidate has used the appropriate register.
• Organisation - focuses on the way the candidate puts together the piece of writing: in other words, whether it is logical and ordered.
• Language - focuses on vocabulary and grammar. This includes the range of language as well as how accurate it is.

Each response is marked from 0 to 5 on each of the four subscales, and these scores are combined to give a final mark for the Writing paper.
—————

それでは、各要素の採点基準。
Content
—————
5点
All content is relevant to the task. Target reader is fully informed.
3点
Minor irrelevances and/or omissions may be present. Target reader is on the whole informed.

—————

4点と2点はそれぞれ上下の中間、0点は1点に満たない場合につけられるようです。
Languageは5点満点は厳しいと思うので、OrganisationやCommunicative achievementを習得しないと。

訂正：テストの内容(9) Reading and Use of English (まとめ)

Reading and Use of Englishについて、ようやく概要がわかりました。

Part7: Multiple matching 10問 10点 Reading

Use of English: 28点　合格可能ライン18点以上
Reading: 42点　合格可能ライン24点以上

上記の合格可能ラインは、あくまでも、目安です。（合格可能ラインについて、訂正・補足しました。）

英語学校の先生向けの情報から見つけたもので、受験の目安に使う点数。
http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/images/225858-converting-cambridge-english-first-and-first-for-schools-practice-test-scores.pdf

In the live exams, each of the skills and Use of English are equally weighted, and a candidate’s overall score is calculated by adding all of the individual scores together and dividing by five (and then rounding to the nearest whole number)

28点しかない、Use of Englishの1点の重みが・・。やはり私は苦手のUse of Englishが課題です。

Students who achieve only slightly higher than the Cambridge English Scale score for a given level on a practice test may not achieve that level in the live exam, and we recommend that they continue working to improve so that they reach the desired level.

Reading、Listening、Use of Englishは、問題集の自己採点で合格可能ラインをかなり余裕で上回っておかないと、自己採点できないWritingやSpeakingも含めた本番の不確定さを補えないので、そもそも受験すべきではないのかもしれません。

テストの内容(8) Reading and Use of English - Part7

Part7: Multiple matching

これもReadingの問題。

問題用紙のインストラクション
—————
You are going to read .....
For questions 43 - 52, chose the sections (A - D/E) The sections may be chosen more than once.
Mark your answers on the separate answer sheet.
—————

10の質問に対して、いくつか（4-6くらい？）あるテキスト（１つのテキストが4-6のセクションに分かれている問題もあり）から選択するという問題。

This part focuses on your ability to find specific information in a set of texts, or in one text that has been divided into sections.
For this task, you will often need to locate words and phrases in the text(s) that reflect the meaning of the wording used in the questions. Sometimes more than one text will cover the same subject, so you need to decide which one matches the questions wording.

質問に当てはまるテキストが複数あるときがあります。そういうときは、wordingで区別しないとなのですね。

Don't tempted to choose a text simply because it has the same wording as in the question. This may lead you to an incorrect answer.
といっても。wordingだけで決めるとひっかかるということです。

教科書のExam Adviceの進め方:
Skim the texts for their general meaning.
Read through the questions careful, underlining any key words and phrases.
Scan the texts for the specific information you need, rather than reading them in detail.
Don't spend too much time looking for an answer. Leave any challenging questions until the end and go on to the next ones. When you've finished, go back and look again at any questions you left unanswered.
Aim to spend around 15 minutes on this task - even though Par7 questions are only 'single wighted', whereas the questions in Parts 5 and 6 count double.

テキストはあまり詳細まで読まず、問題は注意深く読む、ということのようです。
この問題も15分くらいかけたほうがようようですが。他のパートも含めてどう時間配分するかを考えないとです。

テストの内容(7) Reading and Use of English - Part6

Part6: Gapped text.

これもReadingの問題。文章の6つの穴に、7つの選択肢から選択する問題。

問題用紙のインストラクション
—————
You are going to read .....
Six sentences have been removed from the .... Chose from the sentences A - G the one which fits each gap (37 - 42). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.
Mark your answers on the separate answer sheet.
—————

There are fewer questions in this part than in Part7, but as in Part5, each question is 'double-weighted', that is, it is worth two marks instead of one. Part 6 is difficult task and you must allow enough time for it.

時間配分アドバイス:
Read the text quickly, in order to get an idea of what it is about. (2 minutes)
Underline key words in the text to predict what each gap might contain. Look for lining and reference words too.(4 minutes)
Scan the missing sentences for matching information and note down likely answers.(4 minutes)
Read through the whole text with your answer in place to check that it all makes sense. (3 minutes)
Make sure that the extra sentence does not fit anywhere.(2 minutes)

選択肢を選ぶときのアドバイス:
Check the words around the gap carefully. The missing word(s) may be forming part of an idiom, fixed phrase or collocation.
Check that the completed paragraph makes sense in the passage as a whole. The missing sentence must fit the overall context.


確かに、この問題が一番時間がかかると思います。
上記のアドバイスにあるように、75分のうち16分を使うくらいの設定なのでしょうか。Part5と違って、１問落とすと2点失ってしまいます。
問題をたくさん解いて、短時間で解くスキルを習得しておかないとです。
