A guide to Cambridge English : Key
Cambridge English: Key , also known as the Key English Test (KET), is part of a comprehensive
range of exams developed by Cambridge English Language Assessment. Cambridge English
exams have similar characteristics but are designed for different purposes and different levels
of English language ability. Cambridge English: Key is at Level A2 (Waystage) of the Council of
Europe’s Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). It has also been
accredited in the UK as an Entry Level 2 ESOL certificate in the UK’s National Qualifications
Framework.

Cambridge English: Key is accepted by employers, further education and government

departments for business, study and immigration purposes. It is also useful preparation for
higher level exams, such as Cambridge English: Preliminary and Cambridge English: First.
Cambridge English: Key is a great first step in English. Preparing for the exam will build your
confidence in dealing with everyday written and spoken English at a basic level, for example
expressing and understanding simple opinions; filling in forms; and writing short, simple letters.
Cambridge English: Key is also available in a version with exam content and topics specifically
targeted at the interests and experience of school-aged learners. Cambridge English: Key for
Schools , also known as the Key English Test (KET) for Schools , follows exactly the same format
and level and leads to the same certificate as Cambridge English: Key.

Paper 1 Reading and Writing

Paper format
The Reading section contains five parts. The Writing section contains four parts.

Number of questions
There is a total of 56 questions: 35 in Reading and 21 in Writing.

Sources
Authentic and adapted-authentic real- world notices, newspaper and magazine articles,
simplified encyclopaedia entries.

Answering
Candidates indicate answers either by shading lozenges (Reading) or by writing answers
(Writing) on an answer sheet.

Timing
1 hour 10 minutes.

Marks
Each item carries one mark, except for question 56 (Part 9), which is marked out of 5. This gives
a total of 60 marks, which is weighted to a final mark out of 50. This represents 50 % of the total
marks for the whole examination.

Preparing for the Reading section

To prepare for the Reading section, you should read the type of English used in everyday life; for
example, short newspaper and magazine articles, advertisements, tourist brochures, instructions
and recipes, etc. It is also a good idea to practise reading short communicative messages,
including notes, emails and cards. Remember, you won’t always need to understand every word
to be able to do a task in the exam.
Before the exam, think about the time you need to do each part and check you know how to
record your answers on the answer sheet (see page 148).

Preparing for the Writing section

To prepare for the Writing section, you should take the opportunity to write short messages in
real-life situations, for example to your teacher or other students. These can include invitations,
arrangements for meetings, apologies for missing a class, or notices about lost property. They can
be handwritten or sent as email.
Before the exam, think about the time you need to do each part and check you know how to
record your answers on the answer sheet (see page 149).

Part 6
This part is about vocabulary. You have to produce words and spell them correctly. The words
will all be linked to the same topic, for example jobs or food. You have to read a definition for
each one and complete the word. The first letter of each word is given to help you.

Part 7
This part is about grammar and vocabulary. You have to complete a short, gapped text of the
type you could be expected to write, such as a note, email or short letter. You must spell all the
missing words correctly.

9
A guide to Cambridge English: Key

Part 8
This part tests both reading and writing. You have to use the information in two short texts (for
example a note, email or advertisement) to complete a document such as a form, notice or diary
entry. You will need to understand the vocabulary used on forms, for example name , cost and
time. You will need to write only words or phrases in your answers, but you must spell them
correctly.

Part 9
You have to write a short message (25-35 words). You are told who you are writing to and
why, and you must include three pieces of information. To gain top marks, all three parts of
the message must be included in your answer, so it is important to read the question carefully
and plan what you are going to write. Before the exam, practise writing answers of the correct
length. You will lose marks for writing fewer than 25 words, and it is not a good idea to write
answers that are too long.

Mark Scheme for Part 9

There are five marks for Part 9. Minor grammatical and spelling mistakes are acceptable, but to
get five marks you must write a clear message and include all three pieces of information.

Mark Criteria
5 All three parts of the message clearly communicated.
Only minor spelling errors or occasional grammatical errors.
4 All three parts of the message communicated.

Paper 2 Listening
Paper format
This paper contains five parts.

Number of questions
25

Task types
Matching, multiple choice, gap-fill.

Sources
All texts are based on authentic situations, and each part is heard twice.

Answering
Candidates indicate answers either by shading lozenges (Parts 1-3) or by writing answers
(Parts 4 and 5) on an answer sheet.

Timing
About 30 minutes, including 8 minutes to transfer answers.

Marks
Each item carries one mark. This gives a total of 25 marks, which represents 25 % of the total
marks for the examination.

Preparing for the Listening test

The best preparation for the Listening test is to listen to authentic spoken English for your level.
Apart from in class, other sources of English include films, TV, DVDs, songs, the internet, English
clubs, and other speakers of English such as tourists, guides, friends and family.
You will hear the instructions for each task on the recording and see them on the exam paper.
There are pauses in the recording to give you time to look at the questions and to write your

answers You should write your answers on the exam paper as you listen. You will have eight
minutes at the end of the test to transfer your answers to the answer sheet (see page 150). Make
sure you know how to do this and that you check your answers carefully.

Paper 3 Speaking
Paper format
The paper contains two parts. The standard format for Paper 3 is two candidates and two
examiners. One examiner acts only as an assessor and does not join in the conversation. The
other examiner is called the interlocutor and manages the interaction by asking questions and
setting up the tasks (see Paper 3 frames on pages 104-115).

Task types
Short exchanges with the interlocutor and an interactive task involving both candidates.

Timing
8-10 minutes per pair of candidates.

Marks
Candidates are assessed on their performance throughout the test. There are a total of 25
marks, making 25% of the total score for the whole examination.

Preparing for the Speaking test

Take every opportunity to practise your English with as many people as possible. Asking and
answering questions in simple role plays provides useful practice. These role plays should focus
on everyday language and situations, and involve questions about daily activities and familiar
experiences. It is also a good idea to practise exchanging information in role plays about things
such as the costs and opening times of , for example, a local sports centre.

Assessment
Throughout the Speaking test the examiners listen to what you say and give you marks for how
well you speak English, so you must try to speak about the tasks and answer the examiner’s and
your partner’s questions.

The two examiners mark different aspects of your speaking. One of the examiners (the assessor)
will give marks on the following:

Grammar and Vocabulary

This refers to the range of language you use and also how accurately you use grammar and
vocabulary.

Pronunciation
This refers to how easy it is to understand what you say. You should be able to say words and
sentences that are easy to understand.

Interactive Communication
This refers to how well you can talk about a task, and to your partner and the examiner, and
whether you can ask for repetition or clarification if needed.

Jann
Mardenborough
Jann Mardenborough has loved cars since he
was given a toy one as a baby. He loved them
so much that when he was eight his father
took him to a place where children race small
cars called karts. Staff at the kart centre told Jann he drove so well, he might
one day become a racing driver. Unfortunately, the kart centre closed soon
afterwards, and there wasn 't another one near enough to his home that he
could get to.

As he couldn 't race karts any more, Jann decided to try computer racing
games. After lots of practice, he became very good. However, he never told his I
parents what he was doing. Then, one day, when he was 18, he told them that
he was one of the top ten winners of a computer racing competition. They
were very surprised. His prize was to drive a real car in a race against the other
nine top players.

It was Jann's first time in a racing car, but, amazingly, he won the race! The I
prize this time was a free course to learn to be a racing driver. He did really
well, and has found a job driving in a racing team .

The History
of Chocolate
The history of chocolate began (0) three and a half thousand years
ago. At that time, people in the Americas (28) as the Mayans and the
Aztecs grew the beans and made chocolate drinks (29) them . Around
1500, Christopher Columbus took cocoa beans to Europe, and chocolate
drinks (30) became popular in Spain. However, it wasn 't until
nearly 100 years (31) that people started drinking chocolate in
(32) parts of Europe.

In 1657, a Frenchman opened the first chocolate house in London. The

drink was expensive, so only rich people (33) enjoy it. Chocolate
continued to become more popular, (34) it wasn't until 1847 that
the first modern chocolate bar was (35) . Now chocolate is available
everywhere, and we also eat it in foods like cakes, biscuits and sweets.

to music. On the walls there are a few small posters. Robert wants to have
more, and to paint the walls yellow, but his mother doesn't agree. There are
photographs of family holidays and of his sister's children. 'I like my room
best when they're here. It gets untidy, but I don't mind.'

James
James's bedroom is painted in his favourite colour, yellow. He loves rugby, and
there are several photos of him playing in the school team. 'After school I like
to come up here to play computer games. My room's like my safe place. I can
relax here.' James keeps his room tidy. His school work is on one shelf , and on
another he has all his books.

Harry
'After school I come up here and chat to everyone I know on the computer,'
says Harry. 'I never work in here - I study in the kitchen.' He has a big desk
with a laptop in the middle, a PC on one side and a lamp on the other. On the
walls there are two posters of his favourite tennis stars. 'I don 't do much sport
but I like watching tennis.'

An Amazing Adventure
Erden Eruf is Turkish but now lives in Seattle , "*
USA, with his wife Nancy. In July 2012, he |
completed an amazing 5-year j ourney, becoming H
|
the first person ever to travel all the way around I
the world with no help from engines or sails. All I
he used were his own arms and legs, to cycle, I
row, and walk around the world. "

His plan before beginning the trip was to climb the highest mountain on
each of the six continents that he went through. Unfortunately he was only
able to climb three of them because of bad weather and money problems.

Erden spent a lot of his time on the trip rowing his boat. His journey across
the Pacific Ocean took 312 days. Being alone for that much time was not at
all easy, but he kept busy by listening to music and studying Spanish. He
took dried food with him and had a water machine to make fresh water out
of seawater. However, it only worked on sunny days.

Erden is sure he will have more adventures one day. But at the moment all he

L wants to do is rest, think about his trip and spend time with Nancy.

David Rawson
David Rawson, 15, is one of the best rowers of his age in the USA. He comes
from Connecticut, and spends most of his free time practising on the many
rivers near his home.

David's dad Martin also enjoys rowing. 'David's much better than me, but I
go with him when I can,’ he says. David's mother, Wendy, doesn't go rowing
herself but she is happy to take them to and from the rivers in her car.

It's an expensive sport. The Rawsons have seven boats, costing between $1500
and $ 4000 each. But you can see how important rowing is to the family when
you go to their home. There are many photos of David rowing and several
rowing boats in the garage.

About 18 months ago, David started rowing on the sea. This sport is similar
to surfing except that you sit in a special boat instead of standing on a board.
David loves it, and it means he can continue with his sport in the summer
when his favourite rivers don't have enough water in them.

Next year David is hoping to go to the Premier Rowing Academy where he'll
study rowing as well as all the usual school subjects.

it really nice, a cup of milk. It ’ s much cheaper than cream, you know.

Race, so here’s some information about this year ’ s competition.
Pens ready? OK. The race is next week, on the twenty- second of
September. You can’t wear your normal black T-shirts and shorts
because another club uses those colours. We’ll wear blue instead.
Make sure you pack the right ones, please. There’ll be four teams
with three people on each team. Steven, Petra, Luke and Alice -
you’ve been before so you can help the others. On the day, make
sure you get up and have breakfast by seven a.m., so when the race
starts at eight -thirty, you’re ready. At twenty kilometres, there’ll be
a place for snacks, with cake and orange juice. No chocolate, I’m
afraid! Don’t have too much or you’ll feel sick. Last year ’ s first prize
was cycling shirts. This year, the winners will each get the latest
sports watch! Good luck everyone!

Test 3 Answer Key

Jenny: My aunt ’ s friend gave the instructions to my mother, who changed

them a bit, then taught me.
Stephen: It ’ s not too thin, is it ?

then three, but I think two is best really.

Jenny: Some butter, an onion, the tomatoes, salt and pepper, and to make
it really nice, a cup of milk. It ’ s much cheaper than cream, you know.

add everything else, then boil for about ten.
Stephen: So, what are we having for the main course?

you’ve been before so you can help the others. On the day, make
sure you get up and have breakfast by seven a.m., so when the race

a place for snacks, with cake and orange juice. No chocolate, I’m
