EXTRACT FOR QUESTIONS 1 – 7
Spring weather came on rather suddenly, the unsealing of buds that had long been swollen accomplishing
itself in the space of one warm night. The rush of sap in the veins of the trees could almost be heard. The
flowers of late April took up a position unseen, and looked as if they had been blooming a long while,
though there had been no trace of them the day before yesterday; birds began not to mind getting wet.
In-door people said they had heard the nightingale, to which out-door people replied contemptuously that
they had heard him a fortnight before.

Items 31 – 33
Mrs Smith asked her class to prepare short presentations on the topic “Why I favour Caribbean people more than
any other set of persons”. The students were to pretend that their audience comprised nationals of various
English-speaking countries. The following is an excerpt from one student’s speech.
“A pleasant good evening. How are you, friends and fambily? Let me see the hands of those who are having a
good time. Come on, let me see the hands of those who are having a good time. Wave your hands and say, ‘bling,
bling’.
Okay. Why I favour Caribbean persons is that my parents are of African descent. The Caribbean is mostly Black
Country; therefore, most of the people are black. I am one of them. My father black, my mother black and my
brother black. We all black. Some people say I look like my father others say my mother but I think that we all
look alike.”
All the students struggled to hide their amusement. They tried to cover their mouths with their hands to avoid
laughing out loud at her misunderstanding. Of course, the speaker did not see this as her eyes were glued to the

3. Two minutes later, say to candidates
4. Read the following extract twice atnormal reading pace. (DONOT dictatetheextract for candidates
to write.)
YESTERDAY afternoon set in misty and cold. I had half a mind to spend it by my study fire, instead
of wading through heath and mud to Wuthering Heights. On coming up from dinner, however,
(N.B. - I dine between twelve and one o'clock; the housekeeper, a matronly lady, taken as a fixture
along with the house, could not, or would not, comprehend my request that I might be served at five)
- on mounting the stairs with this lazy intention, and stepping into the room, I saw a servant-girl on
her knees surrounded by brushes and coal-scuttles, and raising an infernal dust as she extinguished
the flames with heaps of cinders. This spectacle drove me back immediately; I took my hat, and, after
a four-miles' walk, arrived at Heathcliff's garden-gate just in time to escape the first feathery flakes
of a snow-shower.
