Dear Students,

This week marks our final evaluation, and I want to start by saying how proud I am of the progress you’ve made throughout the course. This is your opportunity to showcase everything you’ve learned and practiced.

The assessment will consist of two parts:

1. Written Test:
• This will evaluate your reading comprehension, listening comprehension, short essay writing, and grammar (Use of English).
2. Speaking Test:
• Part 1: Individual Interview
• In the first part, you will have 30 seconds to prepare a response to a given topic. You can make notes if needed.
• You will then speak for 1 minute.
• Each student will receive a unique question card for this task.
• Part 2: Paired Discussion
• In the second part, you will work in pairs to discuss a topic for about 3 minutes.
• You will be given a discussion task card and 15 seconds to review it before starting.
• Both participants must contribute equally to the discussion.

Remember, you’ve worked hard to get to this point, and this is your time to shine. Trust yourself, stay calm, and take each task step by step. You’ve got this!

Best of luck, and I’m excited to see all that you’ve achieved. 😊
