Summative assessment tasks for the unit “Our Countryside” Reading
Task 1. Read the story. Are the statements True, False or Not Given?
Hi! My name’s Laura. I’m 14 years old. I live in a big city in Kazakhstan Pavlodar. I think
life in a big city is fantastic. I like going to the theatre or cinema and visiting museums. I love pop music and there are usually pop concerts in the city. We go to the concerts with my friends. One thing I don’t like about the city is the traffic. There are always lots of cars and buses in Pavlodar and they make a lot of noise. My best friend Azamat lives in a small village near Pavlodar. Azamat thinks life in the countryside is very nice. There’s no traffic. People can work outdoors. It is calm, silent and peaceful in the countryside. There’s more oxygen in the air because there are a lot of trees around. You can see wonderful flowers everywhere. There is a beautiful lake and a wonderful forest near his village. He usually goes rowing in the lake. We like walking in the forest or swimming in the lake.

1. Laura likes living in the city.
2. She goes to school by bus.

Summative assessment for the unit “our countryside”

Reading.

Task 1. Read Corrine’s description of a new favourite walk

Hi Emma,

I found something really great last weekend. There’s a beautiful blue river near my house,and we often sit on the river bank and play there.This time,my brother and I walked down the river a bit and we found an amazing old bridge over the river,and we went across it. My dad says the bridge is 80 years old. There’s an interesting little path and it goes through a wood.It’s like another world.We were there for abouttwo hours. The path goes a long way-more than 10kilometres!We saw five different types of birds there.One was a shy yellow bird. We really loved it.The problem is that there’s a lot of litter in the wood.It’s so sad. I want to start a group,so people can go there and help to clean up the place. I want it to be an amazing place for plants and wildlife that everyone can enjoy.So far,there are four of us in the group. If you have free time, and know anyone who would like to help,write to me and let me know!

Love, Corrine
