Revision 2
Activity 3 Look, listen and tick.
Objective: to introduce tests on the topics “family” and “my 
friend”
First of all, you need to understand what the purpose of the 
tests is. The main purpose is to check and assess your work. if the 
pupils have learned the lessons well, they are supposed to cope 
with the task successfully. if the majority of the pupils cannot 
cope with the task, it is possible that the given material was not 
securely reinforced. in this case, it is not the pupils’ but your 
fault. You need to go through these materials again. During the 
lesson, you must make sure that the materials are learned by all 
the pupils.
The main mistake allowed by young teachers is that they fo-
cus on a small group of children with high performance. The rest 
of the class is usually out of their sight. Therefore, if there are 
weaker pupils in the class, you should find out the reason. This 
can be because of the lack of the pupils’ attention, poor memory, 
discipline problems, etc. if you have found out the cause of poor 
performance, you should develop a system of working with such 
pupils in the classroom. They must be attached to capable pupils.  
They need more time to consolidate the materials, they should be 
more praised for the effort, and so on. 
Another purpose of the tests is to test the knowledge of the 
pupils. if you work with the class improperly, the pupils will 
show different levels of knowledge. There are a number of rea-
sons for that.  The test is a tool for you to determine the weak-
nesses of the pupils’ knowledge and a signal to correct it, i.e. if 
a lot of pupils cannot cope with the task, then the material must 
be repeated with the whole class once more.
however, testing the knowledge is necessary not only for you 
but for the pupils as well. The pupils should gradually get used to 
the self-assessment of their level of knowledge and strive to get 
more knowledge and good marks.
Test
There are 6 pictures in the textbook, 3 pictures in each row 
(2 rows in total). each row represents a separate task. There are 
3 tasks in total.
Task 1. 
The purpose of the task is to explain to the pupils the prin-
ciples of testing and enable the pupils to understand how to do 
such tasks.
