SECTION 1
Reading Aloud Card A
Chère Clementine
J’aime une fille qui a un an de moins que moi mais nous avons le même anniversaire du 12 décembre. Moi, j’ai commencé mes études universitaires cette année alors que, elle, elle passe son examen du secondaire vers la fin de l’année, juste avant son 18ème anniversaire. Nous sortions ensemble pendant les vacances, mais depuis les vacances de Pâques, ses parents ne veulent plus que nous nous fréquentions. Pendant tout le mois d’août je lui ai téléphoné et écrit mais pas de réponse. Je suis même allé chez elle. La bonne m’a laissé entrer dans la maison mais mon amour n’a pas voulu me voir.

Reading Aloud Card B
Cher Omondi
Nous sommes arrivés en 3ème vol à Ouagadougou vers 13h 30 et mes parents m’attendaient à l’aéroport. Au bout d’une demi-heure, on était déjà à la maison. Je suis maintenant dans ma chambre et j’ai voulu t’écrire, avant de me coucher, pour vous dire, à toi et à tes parents un grand « merci ». Sache que j’attends avec impatience le jour où j’aurai le plaisir de rembourser la grande dette des moments inoubliables que j’ai passés dans votre pays magnifique avec un peuple très hospitalier. Tu pourrais alors voir de tes propres yeux, tout ce que je t’ai dit sur le Burkina Faso.

Conversation
Total 15 marks.
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
