The assessment tasks in Section 1 of the Reading and Directed Writing Paper and the first role play in the Speaking Test will be based on the following Minimum Core Vocabulary. This Minimum Core Vocabulary does not attempt to contain all numerals and ordinals, plurals, common place names, derivatives or compound nouns, if they can be formed by joining words listed in their literal meanings. Candidates should, however, be expected to be familiar with these. The Minimum Core Vocabulary is listed under two headings: • General Notions • Topic Vocabularies for Areas A, B and C 4 GENERAL NOTIONS Candidates will be expected to use and understand the general vocabulary listed below. This vocabulary is not restricted to specific topics and settings and can occur in any of the topic areas listed in the syllabus. common verbs ذه را ا ى ّ أ و أ ّ ا ى ا ر ل "!ل ر #$أ % آ 'د )أ آن %+ ./م ب/ 0 1ا 23 4ّ5" أ أآ #6) %7و %89ار 5 ض ;2" < =ّ>09 #? ّ0 %د #> ر @ أنA B'أ ك9 D'أ D ا/D ه <>أ ; %ر #> %ّو EF89 هGّ9ا ّ %و و . ا رأى أراد F >H #> G common adjectives IّAJآ رديء 2أ FDآ ) 6 4F5" <7وا =>5) 4> M) .

The list is divided into two parts. Only structures listed in the left-hand column (Part 1) will be tested in Section 1 of the Reading and Directed Writing Paper and the first role play (Role Play A) of the Speaking Test. Structures listed in both columns (Parts 1 and 2) may be tested in the remainder of the examination. The lists are not intended to be restrictive and able pupils should be encouraged to progress beyond the list at the highest level, although this knowledge will not be tested. Where language content is chosen by the candidate, eg in the prepared topic of Paper 3 and in some aspects of extended writing in Paper 4, s/he is free to go beyond the prescribed lists.
