Introduction

Oxford Exchange 4 Higher-level tests 2

This booklet contains a full set of

photocopiable test material for use with

Oxford Exchange 4.

● ten end-of-unit tests

● three end-of-term tests

● one end-of-year-test

Higher-level tests

The higher-level tests evaluate your students’

command of the language covered in Oxford

Exchange through more challenging exercises

than those contained in the test booklet. You

can use them with a whole class where most

students are coping well with the Oxford

Exchange coursework, or to cater for more

able students in mixed-ability groups.

CD-ROM

The higher-level tests are also available on

CD-ROM so that you can copy the files onto

your computer and adapt them to suit the

needs of your students.

End-of-unit tests

There are ten end-of-unit tests designed to

follow the Student’s Book units, and eachof them should take 40 minutes to complete.

The tests all contain a Vocabulary section

(10 marks), and a Grammar section (20

marks), followed by Reading and Writing (5

marks each).

End-of-term and End-of-year tests

The end-of-term and end-of-year tests

should take about one hour and should be

administered at the end of each term. Theyare divided into four sections: Vocabulary,

Grammar, Reading and Writing, and are

marked out of a total of 50.

End-of-term test 1 is designed to be used after

Unit 3, End-of-term test 2 after Unit 7, and

End-of-term test 3 after Unit 10.

The end-of-term tests are cumulative – that is,

End-of-term test 2 covers language from terms

1 and 2, while End-of-term test 3 covers

language from all three terms. You may want

to use End-of-term test 3 as a practice test in

preparation for the final End-of-year test.

Test summary sheet

There is a test summary sheet on page 5 of this

booklet, which can be used to keep a record of

students’ test results during the year.

Suggestions for using the tests

● Warn students in advance that they will be

having a test and tell them what the test will

be covering.● Students need to develop procedures for

revision, so encourage them to look back

through their notebooks and to use the

Grammar and Vocabulary pages at the back

of the Student’s Book. You might also want

to discuss the amount of time students

should spend revising.

● Before students begin a test, spend a few

minutes looking through it with the class

and make sure that everyone understands

how to do each type of activity.● Students may need extra paper to carry out

the writing tasks.

5 Read the text and answer the questions.

My name’s Helen and my best friend is

Nicola. We’re both 16. We met eleven

years ago when we first went to school.We go to the same girls’ school, but

Nicola and I are very different. She is very

sporty – she loves running and doing

athletics, and I’m very musical – I sing in

a group, and I play the piano and the

violin.

We have very different personalities,

too. For example, if we watch a romantic

film, I always cry, and if we watch a

horror film, I’m always terrified. Nicola is

the opposite – she doesn’t show her

feelings. My favourite thing about Nicolais that she is always honest. If I ask her

opinion about a new dress or a boy at a

party, she always tells the truth. She’s

also very patient. She doesn’t mind

waiting for me when I’m late for things.

Nicola is great, but there are some

things about her that drive me mad. She

is too modest. She blushes every time

someone says something nice about her.

She’s also very, very tidy. Everything is in

the correct place in her bedroom. (Mine is

the complete opposite because I hatetidying!) The worst habit she has is

getting up early. She goes running before

school and she never stays in bed late at

weekends. I hate people who are active in

the mornings – I’m sleepy for an hour

after I wake up.

1 How long has Helen known Nicola?

…………….....................................................

2 How are the girls different at school?…………….....................................................

3 Who is more emotional?

…………….....................................................

4 Does Nicola tell lies?

My friend, Tina, told me about the flat

where she used to live. It was on the first

floor of an old house in a quiet part of town.The flat had big rooms and a view over a

pretty garden. The sitting room was at the

front of the house and it had very big

windows. It was a lovely, light room but it

always felt cold, even when the sun was

shining brightly.

That wasn’t the only unusual thing about

it. Tina said that there were lots of strange

noises in different parts of the flat. She

could hear whispers in the kitchen and a

man humming in the sitting room. Tina is a

very balanced person and she never feltscared when she heard the noises. Then

an incident took place in July last year.

Tina went out on a sunny morning with

her brother, Dave. When they returned, the

flat felt very cold. Dave went to the kitchen

to make some coffee and Tina walked into

the sitting room. She saw the back of a

man’s head on the sofa opposite the

window. ‘I thought you were making coffee,’

Tina said. Then she heard Dave’s voice

from the kitchen and she screamed. Shelooked back at the sofa and the man had

disappeared.

A month later, Tina was preparing to

move to a new flat when she found an

old newspaper. She read an article about

a young man who had died suddenly in

the flat.

YOUR FUTURE IN WORK

It’s important to start planning your

future when you are still at school.

THINK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE

Think about what sort of work you are

interested in and where you can use

your skills. It’s no good training to be a

computer programmer if you hate

computers! Lots of people have dream

jobs like being a singer or racing driver,

but it’s important to be practical. Getting

training and opportunities for these jobs

can be very difficult. Make a list of three

areas of work that interest you and find

out as much as you can about eachone. Then decide which is best for you.

THINK ABOUT QUALIFICATIONS

There are a lot of general qualifications

that are useful in all jobs. A good basic

education is very important, including

Maths, a foreign language, and

computer skills. Courses at universities

or colleges will give more specific

training, but it’s important to choose

something that will help you find a job.

Interviewers are not always interested in

very specialized qualifications.

THINK ABOUT PERSONAL QUALITIES

Think about what type of person you

are and the qualities you need for your

chosen job. It’s a good idea to interview

someone in the same job and find out

what they are like. Make a list of your

good and bad characteristics and try to

work on the bad points. For example, if

you aren’t very organized, keep a diary

and write lists of what you need to do.

1 Who is the text for?

…………….....................................................

2 When should young people start to think

about their future?

Dear Elena

Thanks for your birthday card. I had a lovelyday and lots of nice presents. I hope you are

feeling better now and that your cold has gone.

I've got some interesting news. My exam results

were good and so I decided to look for a

summer job. I saw and advert for an au pair to

look after two children from July to September.

The family wanted someone who is practical,

organized and reliable. (I've spent so long

looking after my little brother and sister that I

think I have those qualities!)

I filled in an application form and sent aphotograph but I haven't had an interview yet.

The father rang me and the family wants to

meet me next week. I'm a bit nervous about it

because the father was a little aggressive over

the phone. I really want to impress the family,

so have you got any tips for the interview.

I saw my ex-boyfriend, James, the other day.

He was with his new gïrlfriend, Anna. She was

staring at me angrily when I hugged James.

She told me about her success at school and in

sports. I think she's quite a competitive person -

just the opposite to James. I haven't because I

hope I'll have a new job soon.

That's all for now. Say hello to your mum and

dad.

Phone or write soon with your news.

THE FILM INDUSTRYby Clare Harris

In general, films are a very popular form

of entertainment. Dramas can show you

different countries and how people live.

Comedies are great for helping you to

relax and forget your problems. Science

fiction shows you life in the future. In

addition, a lot of jobs are created in the

film industry – actors, camera operators,

make-up, lighting, music, etc.

On the other hand, not all aspects offilms are positive. The international film

industry is dominated by American film-

makers. Most films that are shown in

British cinemas are American and smaller

independent film companies can’t

compete. In addition, US companies use

only very popular actors who attract very

big cinema audiences. This creates

problems for new actors who don’t get

opportunities to appear on screen.

In conclusion, films can give you

information and ideas. They can also helpyou escape from your ordinary life. On the

other hand, there is a danger that all films

will become the same if they are imported

from the USA. People should watch films

made in their own country to help the

local industry.

1 What type of film is good when you feel

stressed?

...........................................................………

2 How does the film industry help the

world of work?

...........................................................………

3 How does the US film industry affect

smaller independent companies?

4 Why can’t new actors appear on screen?

Emma’s diary page –

Friday 16th November

I went out with Dave again tonight. We’vebeen out lots of time since the middle ofSeptember when we met. He’s really nice –we never have arguments – but he’s a bittoo unemotional for me. He bought mesome flowers once, but he hasn’t been veryromantic since then. My old boyfriendsused to write love letters and poems and Ireally liked that.

I’m not really sure what to do. I don’t wantto split up but I think we need to makesome changes. We’ve seen each otherthree times every week since Septemberand I think that’s too much. I’d prefer to goout at weekends and not meet in the week.I hope that will make the relationship moreinteresting. I’ll also have more time to seemy friends and concentrate on my studies.

I think the problem may be our star signs.I’m Scorpio – very hot-blooded and

sensitive and Dave is Libra – very balancedand logical. But my mum and dad are verydifferent and they have been happilymarried for years. Perhaps I need a lovepotion to make Dave more romantic or Icould give him a book of love stories. It’smy birthday soon, so I hope Daveorganizes something special for me – aromantic dinner for two would be lovely(better than our last meal together in a fast-food café!)

I was never very interested in art at school

but I went to an exhibition of local artists last

year. My friend had bought two tickets for

herself and her brother, but he couldn’t go, so

I used his ticket. When my friend and I looked

at a list of the exhibits, we saw that there

were over one hundred. I thought, ‘Oh no!

We are going to be here for hours.’

The exhibits were divided into different

rooms and they included sculptures,

portraits, still lifes, and landscapes. We

walked from room to room for about an

hour and then my friend asked for my

opinion. I was very bored but I didn’t want

to offend her so I said, ‘Oh, it’s fascinating.’My friend then looked at another painting,

so I walked into the next room.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. There was a

mural which filled the whole wall. The style

was abstract, but I could see the main

elements of the picture – mountains, a river,

tall trees and sunlight. The shapes were

simple and the colours were light and

delicate. The best thing about the image was

its effect – it made me feel completely calm

and balanced.

I was still looking at the mural when myfriend appeared. She thought that it was

rather cold and depressing, which I couldn’t

understand. People’s reactions to art are a

very personal thing, but I’ve visited a lot more

exhibitions since I saw my beautiful mural.

ANIMALS OF THE WORLD

If you talk to people about the natural world, mostpeople will say they love animals. But a lot of people

don’t realize that many types of animal need

protection. The human race doesn’t respect the

environment and this puts animals in danger. For

example, forests where animals live are being cut

down, the seas are being polluted, and animals are

being killed for their skins.

ANIMALS AT HOME

Many people have animals at home but this does not

mean they look after them well. Parents sometimes

buy cats, dogs, and rabbits for their children without

explaining what to do with them. It is fashionable tobuy exotic pets like snakes and birds, but people

can’t provide the right conditions for them, so they

suffer.

WHAT DO WE DO?

Save The Animals has worked since 1996 to improve

the situation for animals all over the world. We work

with local people to protect animal environments,

boycott companies who pollute the seas, and

campaign against hunting. Last year we sent a

petition to the government to stop the import of exotic

animals for sale in pet shops.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

We need your help to continue our work. You can

donate money or give us some of your time. We

always need people to organize petitions, collect

money in the street, and join us on demonstrations.

Dear Sir or Madam

I am writing to complain about your news

programme ‘The World Today’, which is

shown every weekday at 6.30 p.m. and 9.30

p.m. The programme that was shown on

Wednesday 19 July at 6.30 was particularly

worrying. I was watching television with my

two young children at that time and images

of war and children suffering from disease

were shown. No warning was given to tell

viewers that the content of the film was

shocking. Both of my children cried and I had

to switch the programme off.




I then watched the later news programme

after my children had gone to bed. I was

expecting to receive more information on

the war situation, but only a brief report

was given. Most of the half-hour

programme was an interview with a pop

star who has recently got engaged to a

footballer. I am not interested in this couple

and their romance, but it would be better to

show these people in your earlier

programme when children are watching.

I understand that the news has to show

images that are moving or frightening.

However, if you don’t inform people of this

before you show the report, I will have to

stop watching your channel.

I look forward to receiving your reply.

Yours faithfully,

Mr A.J. Harrison

people who wore designer labels from head to toewere unimaginative.

Body shapeThe media is full of models, but only a fewteenagers thought the models had the ‘perfect body’.Most of the teenagers said they were too thin and

that they didn’t look healthy. A few individuals saidthey would like to be taller or slimmer themselves.Everybody in the survey knew about the dangers ofanorexia and bulimia, but nobody said they hadsuffered from these disorders. Only one or twoteenagers would like to have cosmetic surgery toimprove their looks.

Body art


There was a mixed response to the questions on body art. Half of the teenagers said they would liketo have a tattoo (this included as many girls as boys).Very few were interested in body piercing in thetongue or nose, as they thought it looked ugly andwould be painful.

This is a bigchange for Gloria, whose two previousweddings involved very big parties withhundreds of famous faces. Gloria said theywouldn’t go on honeymoon immediatelybecause she is working on a new film.Reports from Hollywood predicted that this

would be Gloria’s last film because her healthhad not been good. In reply to this, she boastedthat she had never been fitter and that she wasstill the best actress in the world. The filmcompany may not agree with this, as her last twofilms were described as very poor. When askedwhy she had chosen Carlo as her latest husband,Gloria replied that she was in love and that Carlowas a wonderful man. She added that the

difference in age was no problem.Gloria is famous for her love of designer labels

and expensive jewellery. She once complainedthat her first husband (also a millionaire) wantedher mansion back after they had got divorced. Inthe end, she kept the house, the cars, and the boats.

Travel and holidays are changing. In the

past, people were happy to spend two

weeks on the beach or in a city sightseeing.

Now people want more from their holiday –

not just relaxation and sunshine, but a real

experience. Activity holidays have become

very popular in recent years. These are

organized for people who want to do an

activity like diving, canoeing or windsurfing,

or learn a new skill like drawing, painting or

speaking a foreign language.

World issues like animal rights and

environmental protection have also had an

effect on travel. People are keen to seeanimals in their natural habitat and not in

zoos, so wildlife holidays have developed

recently. Animal-lovers can choose from a

wide range of wildlife in different continents,

including dolphins, birds and sharks.

Travelling to exotic countries can have a

negative effect on the local environment and

the people. Some organizations now offer

‘green’ holidays which use environmentally-

friendly hotels, and pay local people a fair

wage for the work they do.

Choosing and booking your holiday is nowhi-tech. In the past, people had to go to their

nearest travel agency to get information

about holidays. Now people can also see

adverts for holidays on TV, in newspapers

and in magazines. The Internet is a fast and

efficient way of booking a trip. People who

don’t like planning in advance are fans of the

Internet, because they can get the latest

information at any time of day or night.

NICK’S DIARY – 17 JUNE

This is the fourteenth day of our journey and

things have been quite difficult. We couldn’t find

fresh water or food so we had to walk to the lake

to try to get some fish. I’m also having problems

with some of my companions. I share a tent with

Adam who snores all night and Jim, our guide, is

really getting on my nerves. He’s always

boasting about his adventures – he said that he

walked round the world for charity. That may be

true, but he isn’t a very experienced guide.

We’ve been lost in the forest so many times!

But I mustn’t complain. We’ve seen so many

beautiful sights. Last week was spent in the

desert. It was amazing – I had never seen a

scorpion until now and it was great to ride a

camel again. The forest is incredible too – such

a variety of wildlife and plants that I could never

see at home. If I had more time, I would stay in

this area and explore some more. In two or three

days, we’re moving on to the border, where

there’s a small town.

Jim said he wanted to go nightclubbing in the

town if he could! Why travel to a differentcontinent to do the things you can do at home?

For me, travelling is about meeting local people,

eating local food and trying to understand a

different culture. If there is a club in the town, I

won’t go to it …

Today was my last day at school and I felt

surprisingly emotional. I didn’t cry but

I spent a lot of time hugging my friends and

I even kissed a couple of my teachers! The day

started with my last English lesson, but I’ll be

continuing the subject at university because

I want to be a journalist. We studied a poem about

a young person looking into the future, which was

great fun.

All the lessons that followed were quite relaxed

– we spent most of the time chatting and asking

questions. Some of the teachers gave us advice

and the most important message was to workhard but to have a good time too. One teacher

asked about the first thing we wanted to do when

we left. My reply was to dye my hair, because it

had been completely forbidden at school.

I asked my friends how they felt about the future.

Most of them said they were optimistic and felt

confident about their plans. My best friend, Lucy,

however, said she felt depressed about the

environment and the problems in the world. She is

the only one of my friends who wants to volunteer

to work in the developing world. The rest of us aredivided into two groups – those who want to

continue studying and those who are looking for a

job. One of the boys boasted that he had already

got a job as a computer programmer and that he

would be a millionaire soon.

her last day at school?
