Family Matters Gateway 2 Plus Sprawdzian

Family Matters Gateway 2 Plus Sprawdzian to test, or sprawdzian in Polish, that checks your understanding of the second level of the Family Matters English coursebook, specifically the 'Gateway 2 Plus' edition.

Think of it like a school test. It's a way for your teacher to see what you have learned and what you remember from the lessons.

This sprawdzian covers specific topics from your textbook. These topics are usually about:

• Grammar: Rules for how we put words together to make sentences. For example, using the present simple and present continuous tenses correctly.
• Vocabulary: New words and phrases you have learned. This could be about family, hobbies, daily routines, or school life.
• Reading Comprehension: Understanding what you read. You will probably have to read a short text and answer questions about it.
• Listening Comprehension: Understanding what you hear. You will listen to audio and answer questions.
• Writing Skills: Being able to write short texts, like a description of your family or a postcard.
• Speaking Skills: Sometimes, a sprawdzian might involve a short speaking task, like talking about your weekend.

Let's break down what you might see in the Family Matters Gateway 2 Plus Sprawdzian:

1. Grammar Section:

Here, you will be asked to choose the correct verb tense. For instance, you might see a sentence like:

"I _____ (watch) TV now." The correct answer would be "am watching" (present continuous for an action happening now).

Or, you might need to fill in the blanks with the correct form of a verb, like:

"She _____ (go) to school every day." The correct answer is "goes" (present simple for a routine).

2. Vocabulary Section:

This section tests your knowledge of words. You might get a list of words and have to match them to their definitions. For example, you'll learn words like cousin, uncle, niece, or nephew. You might also learn words related to feelings or adjectives to describe people.

Example: "A child of your aunt or uncle is your ______. (cousin)"

3. Reading Comprehension Section:

You will read a short story, a letter, or a description. Then, you will answer questions like "Who is the main character?" or "What does the character like to do?". You need to read carefully to find the answers in the text.

Example text: "My name is Anna. I have a brother, Tom. We like to play football together." Question: "Does Anna have a sister?" Answer: "No, she has a brother."

4. Listening Comprehension Section:

Your teacher will play an audio recording. It could be a conversation or a short story. You will listen and then answer questions based on what you heard. It's important to focus and not miss any details.

Example: You might hear someone talking about their family and their hobbies. The question could be "What is Maria's favorite hobby?"

5. Writing Section:

You might have to write a short paragraph. For example, "Write a few sentences about your family" or "Describe your best friend." You should use the grammar and vocabulary you have learned.

Example prompt: "Write about your typical Saturday." You could write: "On Saturday, I wake up late. I eat breakfast with my family. Then, I go to the park."

6. Speaking Section (if applicable):

If there is a speaking part, your teacher might ask you questions about yourself, your family, or your hobbies. You need to speak clearly and try to use complete sentences.

Example question: "Tell me about your family." You could answer: "I have one sister. Her name is Ewa. She is younger than me."

The goal of the Family Matters Gateway 2 Plus Sprawdzian is to show how well you have learned the material in your textbook. It helps you and your teacher see what you are good at and what you need to practice more.
