Year 7 Spanish
Summer Reading Assessment
Notes for teachers
1) For sets 1-3 the text is on a word document and the task is on PowerPoint slide. They can complete
the task on paper or in their exercise books. The plan is to do the listening and reading in one lesson,
which is why the task is short.
2) For sets 1-3 the questions could be projected and they can answer on paper or exercise books.
They will need the reading text on paper but these can be re-used.
3) For the sets 1-3 ANSWERS and CONVERSIONS to LEVELS see slide 8.
4) For sets 4-5 the text is also on a word document but the questions are also on the document. A: 15 = True/False and B: a-j = name of person so this can be easily done on paper or in exercise books.
Students will need to see their own copy of the question paper.
5) See slide 6 for sets 4-5 ANSWERS and CONVERSIONS to LEVELS.
6) Enter the raw score for the reading test onto the year 7 marksheet

Hola, soy David. Tengo once años y soy muy simpático. Voy
a un instituto mixto, y tiene seiscientos alumnos y cuarenta
profesores. Los profesores son muy divertidos, y me gustan
mucho. Hay uniforme – es negro y rojo. Mi instituto es
bastante grande. Hay muchas aulas, cinco laboratorios, una
gimnasia y dos comedores. Desafortunadamente, no
tenemos una piscina. Mi asignatura favorita es la educación

un patio muy pequeño - es demasiado pequeño para jugar al fútbol o al
netball. Me gustaría ir a un colegio más grande. Mi asignatura favorita son
los deportes porque son fáciles. No me gusta el inglés porque es difícil pero
pienso que es útil.

moderno y bastante grande. Hay ciento cincuenta aulas, setecientas
alumnas y cincuenta profesoras. Hay un laboratorio de música, un
