Mr Park’s class visit a castle

Paul’s class at school are studying castles in history. So last week their
history teacher, Mr Park, took them to visit an old castle on a hill next tothe sea. They went by bus and stopped at the bottom of the hill.
Mr Park pointed to the castle at the top of the hill and said, ‘There is noroad up there so we have to walk.’
The children were tired and thirsty when they arrived at the castle. But
Mr Park had juice for all of them. It was very interesting because Mr Park
showed them all the different parts of the castle and explained its history.
On the way down the hill Paul’s friends said, ‘Let’s have a race.’ So Pauland his friends started to run.
‘Stop running!’ shouted Mr Park. But the boys ran faster and faster andthen Paul fell over and hurt his leg. It wasn’t broken, but he couldn’t walkvery well.
Mr Park saw a farmer on his horse in a field. He went to speak to him andthe farmer let Paul ride his big brown horse down the hill to the bus.
‘Sorry we didn’t listen to you on the hill,’ Paul said to Mr Park, ‘but welistened in the castle. It was great! Can we come again?’84

Summary of procedures
The usher introduces the child to the examiner. The examiner asks the child what his/hername and surname is and how old he/she is.
1. 	The examiner shows the child the candidate’s copy of the Find the Differences
picture. The child is initially shown the examiner’s copy as well, but thenencouraged to look at the candidate’s copy only. The examiner then makes a seriesof statements about the examiner’s picture and the child has to respond by making
statements showing how the candidate’s picture is different, e.g. (examiner) ‘In
my picture, the man is pointing at a cloud on the map.’ (child) ‘In my picture, he’s
pointing at the sun.’
2.	The examiner shows the child the candidate’s copy of the Information Exchange.
The child is initially shown the examiner’s copy as well, but then is encouraged
to look at the candidate’s copy only. The examiner first asks the child questions
related to the information the child has, e.g. ‘What’s the name of Robert’s favourite
restaurant?’ and the child answers. The child then asks the examiner questions,e.g. ‘What’s the name of Sarah’s favourite restaurant?’ and the examiner answers.
3.	The examiner tells the child the name of the story and describes the first picture,e.g. ‘These pictures tell a story. It’s called “The Brave Teacher”. Just look at the
pictures first. (Pause) Nick and Anna are looking out of the classroom window. The
teacher isn’t happy because they’re not doing their work.’ The examiner then asks
the child to continue telling the story. The title of the story and the name of themain character(s) are shown with the pictures in the candidate booklet.
4.	The examiner asks questions about a topic, e.g. ‘Now let’s talk about some different
months of the year. What’s the best month at school?’
