READING ALOUD

CARD A

Jason, touriste américain, est en vacances en Provence et vient à Marseille une journée. Il passe la matinée au Mucem qui est un musée récent et très connu. Son architecture moderne s'associe très bien avec la mer toute proche et l'ancien Fort Saint-Jean. Il fait une promenade sur le Vieux Port. Il y a des marchands de poissons et c'est le départ de nombreux bateaux.

À midi il prend un sandwich dans un café. Il n'est pas fatigué et décide de marcher jusqu'à Notre Dame de la Garde. Cette basilique est célèbre à Marseille : les supporters de l'OM (club de foot de Marseille) viennent prier pour faire gagner leur équipe ! Du haut de cette colline, la vue sur Marseille est remarquable. Maintenant Jason veut voir les plages du Prado, longues de plusieurs kilomètres. Après un trajet en bus, il est heureux de retrouver la mer. Il enlève (ne garde pas) ses chaussures et marche longtemps au bord de l'eau. La plage est pleine de Marseillais et de touristes. C'est vraiment génial d'être en ville et d'avoir les monuments, les musées et la plage au même endroit ! Jason a très faim et cherche un restaurant. Il finit sa visite devant une assiette de bouillabaisse. C'est une soupe de poissons, spécialité de Marseille. Bon appétit, Jason !

CARD B

Assis en terrasse dans le quartier touristique du Vieux Lyon, James sirote une limonade bien fraîche. Avec la chaleur estivale, cette journée d’exploration se révèle très fatigante !

Ce matin, James s’est levé tôt, a loué un vélo et a parcouru les rues de Lyon. Il a longé les quais de la Saône, traversé la presqu’île, puis rejoint les quais du Rhône. En chemin, il a pu admirer la magnifique fontaine Bartholdi sur la grande Place des Terreaux. Il s’est également arrêté dans une boulangerie où il a longuement hésité entre un pain au chocolat, un croissant, et une brioche aux pralines, pâtisserie typiquement lyonnaise. Il a finalement opté pour cette dernière.

James a ensuite rejoint le quartier moderne de la Confluence où le fleuve de la Saône se jette dans le Rhône.

Il s’apprête maintenant à prendre le funiculaire qui l’emmènera au sommet de la colline de Fourvière. Là, il pourra visiter la fameuse basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière et contempler la splendide vue panoramique sur la ville de Lyon depuis le belvédère. En redescendant à pied, il s’arrêtera pour visiter le plus ancien théâtre gallo-romain de France, puis ira dîner dans un bouchon lyonnais, restaurant typique de la ville. Bon appétit, James!

About 5minutes.

It should be a conversation of a general nature related to the candidate’s experience and the content on pages 438 -446 of the KCSE Regulations and syllabuses, 2010-2011. Of the KNEC. The examiner is expected to ask specific questions on related topics and not just concentrate on one topic:

  • You should allow the stipulated length of time for each candidate
  • You should start out from any point of interest noted earlier or ask a few general questions relating to everyday life such as school, family, etc. Not more than four (4) topics from the list on pages 438- 446 (KCSE Regulations and syllabuses, 2010-2011) should be examined.
  • Precise factual knowledge or information is not necessary
  • Be ready to pass on quickly to another subject if a candidate is out of his/her depth.
  • Candidates should be expected to respond naturally to question; their answers need not therefore be in the form of complete sentences. You should take care to avoid questions inviting simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ by using a variety of interrogatives (see list below). The examiners should use ‘vous’ when addressing the candidates during the examination
  • Questions should be adjusted to the candidates’ ability. Candidates should be prompted and encouraged where necessary.
  • Long periods of silence should be avoided
  • Do not interrupt the candidate unless you are sure that he /she cannot complete the answer.
  • Incorrect answers should neither be corrected, nor answers supplied when none is given.
  • Questions should either be rephrased or allowed to go unanswered rather than be repeated
  • The use of English vocabulary should be avoided
