Reading Aloud Card A

• Bonjour monsieur, je viens pour l’entretien d’embauche.
• Ah oui, très bien, asseyez-vous. Alors, je vois sur votre CV que vous avez suivi une formation dans la domaine de tourisme. Avez-vous fait des stages?
• Oui, bien sûr, dans plusieurs entreprises.
• Parfait, et donc vous êtes capable d’accueillir et de guider des touristes étrangers?
• Certainement. Je suis capable de prendre en charge un groupe; je parle français, allemand et un peu d’italien. J’estime donc pouvoir remplir la tâche que vous voulez me confier. J’insiste pour que vous me fassiez confiance!
• Je vois que vous avez l’ambition et cela me plaît. Je vous prends à l’essai pour 12 mois. Soyez la lundi à 8h30 , ma secrétaire vous dira exactement ce que j’attends de vous.

• Merci bien de m’avoir invité ici pour cet entretien. Je suis honoré.
• Ah bon, asseyez-vous. Donc vous comptez travailler ou bien vous marier et élever vos enfants?
• J’espère pouvoir concilier les deux. Vous voyez, je ne conçois pas de passer ma vie à la maison sans travail. De nos jours, une femme a besoin de travailler pour subvenir aux besoins de sa famille.
• C’est vrai, mais il est très difficile de trouver un emploi dans plusieurs entreprises, surtout lorqu’on est jeune et sans expérience.
• Je ne suis pas certainement de votre avis; et j’insiste que c’est vrai qu’il n’y a pas assez d’offre d’emploi en ce moment, mais j’estime rester optimiste et prouver que notre jeunesse est un atout.
• Je vois que vous avez raison. Il faut être battant. Je vous donne l’embauche. Soyez là la semaine prochaine, lundi, à 9h 45.

• 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.
