Introduction
More than ever, teachers need to possess a range of resources that will invest the
assessment of their students work with greater validity and reliability. The present set
of tests is designed to offer teachers opportunities to use resources that prepare
students both for internal and external assessment.
These books of tests have two goals. They aim to aid teachers along the long
trail of assessment by providing resources they can use to assess their students
at different stages of learning and, at the same time, help prepare students to face
the external assessment challenge they will encounter, namely the PET for Schools Test.
With this in mind, a wide range of tests have been created. First and foremost,
a selection of three placement tests has been created in order to determine where
each learner stands and what their specific learning needs are.
Then three progress tests per unit can be used to assess the students development;
each one can be edited in order to create two different versions of the same test or even
to adapt the test to the specific group each teacher is working with. The tests herein
include a variety of items and a level of difficulty appropriate for 9th graders. These
tests are based on the same texts but are graded in terms of difficulty with the purpose
of suiting three levels of proficiency, thereby catering for all abilities in the classroom.
There is also a Mock PET Test for each unit, so that teachers can thoroughly prepare
their students for the questions they will encounter in the PET test.
We believe the tests in these brochures can also be viewed as an opportunity for
formative assessment, which will foster reflection and discussion about teaching and
learning between teachers and students. What is more, they can be re-used or edited
in order to re-assess particular areas of weakness.
We hope all the materials will prove useful and helpful.

A guide to Portugals Alentejo region,

home of Europes finest beaches
Its 7 pm on a warm Saturday night in June and I am in Zambujeira do Mar, a seaside

resort on the Alentejo coast. To travel here is to step back in time 40 or 50 years. Life
is very slow and the landscape is very quiet. But that quietness ends suddenly at the
Atlantic Ocean, and the drama begins. Protected by the South West Alentejo and
5 Costa Vicentina national park, the 100 km of coastline from Porto Covo in the Alentejo
to Burgau in the Algarve is the most beautiful in Europe. And yet few people seem to
know about it.
These beaches are a good two hours drive from either Faro or Lisbon airports
and there is no beachside accommodation, but there are some beautiful, independent
10 guesthouses in this area, although they are hidden in the backroads.
Our base was Herdade da Nespereira, a beautiful area of land covered in trees and wild
flowers, 13 km inland from Zambujeira. Stepping out of the house in the morning to greet
our neighbours wild horses on one side, donkeys on the other with nothing but bird-
song filling the air, I felt a sense of adventure you normally only get with wild camping.
15 When people first arrive, they feel a little anxious, wondering what theyre going
to do the whole time, Sarah Gredley, the English owner of Nespereira, told me. But
it doesnt usually take them long to realise that the whole point of being here is to slow
down, to enjoy nature.

Summer programme
For an athlete now into his third decade of international
competition, windsurfer Joo Rodrigues is proof that age
really is no barrier to success.
A native of Madeira, Rodrigues was approaching the
5 age of 40 when, on June 14 2012, he fulfilled a life-long
dream of entering the Guinness Book of World Records.
He broke the record for the longest non-stop ocean
crossing by a windsurfer when he sailed across the
open Atlantic Ocean between Madeira and the smaller
10 island of Selvagem Grande, covering the 296-kilometre
distance in just over 10 hours.
He has always been proud of his roots and even Born: 01/11/1971
more so when it was announced that his home town Place of birth: Santa Cruz,
of Funchal would host the European Windsurfing Madeira
15 Championships in February 2012, and that Rodrigues Event: Windsurfing
himself would be the ambassador for the event. Previous Olympics: 5
Rodrigues actually made his Olympic debut way back Previous medals: 0
rd
at Barcelona 1992, where he finished 23 . He finished
seventh in Atlanta (1996), 18th in Sydney (2000) and
20 sixth in Athens (2004).
He finished 11th at the Olympic regatta in Qingdao, China, and has continued to
represent his country since then. He now has over 120 appearances at international
level to his name and has come a long way from the early days, when he first started
windsurfing at the age of nine and raced in his first competitions at 11.
25 When youre surrounded by water, it is obvious to windsurf, he once said about
why he took up the sport. Windsurfing is simply part of his life.

10 Ive always wanted to do: to dance at school. In fact, Im
going to attend two different schools!
In the morning Im going to attend a normal school. Ill have to study all the
subjects that pupils in year 9 have to. Since Im doing year 9, this should be no surprise.
The difference is that while my colleagues will stay on at school to do their Physical
15 Education and Computer Studies lessons, I am going to study subjects which are
directly related to Dance, at the local Dance School.
While I continue with school work, I can also work on different artistic activities
related to Dance, as a complement to my education. More importantly, I can use this
experience in a professional way in the future. I believe this is a great benefit for all of us
20 who feel a special love for Dance. Its also possible for pupils to take up Music, Drama
and Art, depending on their area of preference. The school has two main objectives:
to offer a good education with regard to different artistic areas and, at the same time,
help prepare students to take up a career in any of these areas, or simply develop their
interest and appreciation of the Performing Arts.

The greatest film role ever cast

The Portuguese actor Diogo Morgado plays the part of Jesus in the Son of
God. He is the latest film actor to play the role. Mr Morgado is not so dark
as historians might wish, but he could play the part of a strong or a gentle
character, one of the producers said.
5 Diogo Morgado, who is very similar to Brad Pitt, plays the lead role.
The best story is the story that gets to the most people. If the message of
Jesus was love, hope and compassion, and I can bring that to more people
by being a more appealing Jesus, I am happy with that, Mr Morgado said.
It took the producers a while to find Mr Morgado. They were just weeks
10 from filming, and they still didnt know who was going to play the role.
We wanted an actor who was strong and charismatic, but who could also
be a carpenter, Ms Downey, one the producers, said.
Mr Burnett, the other producer, said the intention was to create a story
that was true to the Gospels but that also showed the courage and terror
15 of the time Jesus lived in.

If the message of Jesus was love, hope and compassion, and I can
bring that to more people by being a more appealing Jesus, I am

10 The films main producers, Mark Burnett, and his wife, the actress
Roma Downey, worked together to make the hugely successful 2013 History channel mini-series
The Bible. It took the producers a while to find Mr Morgado. The Bible was just weeks from
filming, and they still hadnt filled the role. We wanted an actor who was strong and charismatic,
but who could also be a carpenter, Ms Downey said. Diogo is tall and well-built. He has a strong
15 presence.
The idea for the film came up during filming of The Bible. As they were reviewing some scenes,
Mr Burnett said that he and Ms Downey realised how incredible this Jesus footage was looking
with Diogo, so in the end casting for the film was easy.
Mr Burnett said the intent was to create a story that was true to the Gospels but that also
20 captured the courage and terror of the era.

11 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is an example of a great production.
12 Not all the musicals get a good review.
Some of the West Ends best musicals

Mamma Mia!
Mamma Mia! is energetic, funny and entertaining and appeals to all ages. No doubt one of
the reasons the show is a success is because it does not try to be anything other than popular
entertainment, and the production has the confidence to recognise this fact and does not take
itself too seriously. For example, songs, such as Chiquitita, Take a chance on me, Does your
mother know are ingeniously slipped into the story line, and the audience bursts into favourable
applause each time it happens.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

The mysterious Willy Wonka is opening his Chocolate Factory for just one day, and for
Charlie Bucket it promises to be a mouth-watering chance to feast his eyes on sweets beyond
his wildest imagination. Mendess hugely inventive production is magical. Overall, Charlie and
the Chocolate Factory is terrific fun, amazing in many respects, and a production approaching
monumental proportions.
The Lion King

The Lion King, Disneys award-winning Broadway musical has come to the West End with
over 40 actors, singers and dancers performing a spectacular show at the beautiful Lyceum
Theatre. The musical, which opened in November 1997, has won 24 major awards including the
1998 Tony Award for best musical and the show has been sold-out for every performance since

Enid Blytons Famous Five

Enid Mary Blyton was born on 11th August 1897 and died on 28th November 1968. She was
an English childrens writer whose books have been among the worlds bestsellers since the
1930s, selling more than 600 million copies. Blytons books are still enormously popular, and
have been translated into almost 90 languages.
In 1942, Blyton published the first novel in the Famous Five series, Five on a Treasure Island,
with illustrations by Eileen Soper. Its popularity resulted in twenty-one books between then
and 1963, and the characters of Julian, Dick, Anne, George (Georgina) and Timmy the dog
became popular names in Britain. Blyton based the character of Georgina, an energetic girl
she described as short-haired, freckled, bold and daring, hot-tempered and loyal, on herself.
The stories always take place in the childrens school holidays after they have returned from
their respective boarding schools. Each time they meet they get caught up in an adventure.
In some books the children go camping in the countryside, on a hike or holiday together
elsewhere.

milk and milk powder products. It forced me to be interested in food,
says Tree. As a vegetarian Id got lazy. And I couldnt just switch to
vegan cheese on potatoes, because its like plastic.

lots of unhealthy food, making meals and saving animals lives. It would be nice if everyone

Compulsive disorders
Addiction to video games and the internet is starting to be considered a psychological
problem, and experts say its not uncommon for kids to become violent when their drug is
taken away.
Violent video games can be as addictive as drugs, experts say. Video
5 game addiction will be acknowledged for the first time this year.
If you look at alcoholism and internet addiction, its definitely the
same model of behaviour, agreed Dr. Kimberly Young, director of the
Centre for Online Addiction. She says the use of violent video games
and aggressive behaviour in kids are related. The reality is, these
10 games must teach you something, she said. As with other addictions,
some people may be easier to influence than others.
We wouldnt want anybody to think, when we use the term video
game addiction or compulsive gaming that there is any problem
with the video games. Dr Michael Fraser, a clinical psychologist said. Many people can play one
15 game, and thats it. Others wont be able to stop.
Cases of extremely violent attitudes and actions influenced by video games may be rare, but
Fraser and Young agreed that parents need to actively set usage and access limits. Monitoring is
very important, Fraser said. If you put an iPad into a 6-year-olds hands, thats no different to
sending them to a cinema that shows films for adults without parent or adult control.
20 When you see an alcoholic going into a bar, you know what theyre going in there for,
he also said. But when a kid goes into the library or their room and sits at a laptop, its not always
certain that theyre going to do something harmful.
Theres no formal diagnosis for video game addiction but that doesnt mean its not real.

Veganism
Being a vegan is definitely more of a lifestyle choice and a philosophy than a diet. A vegan
mustnt eat anything that is of animal origin. Vegans will not use animal based products for
clothing, or any other purpose.
A person can become a vegan because of moral reasons involving animal rights, for
environmental reasons, or for better health. The Vegetarian Resource Group states that
vegans are vegetarians who do not use other animal products or by-products such as eggs,
dairy products, honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, cosmetics, and soaps derived from animal
products.
Vegans do not consume or use dairy products or eggs even though doing so would not
kill the animal. Part of the reason is a belief in the absolute right of animals to exist freely
without human interference, but also because many egg-laying chickens and dairy cows are
killed when they produce less with age. In addition, farming today is very different from
what it used to be. Modern farms are highly mechanised factories a lot of animals are given
products to make them produce more.
