What you will practise

A faulty device and customer choices

Focus: Dense but clear information, close alternatives and the scope of negation.

What this test contains

Complete three tasks: answer questions about choosing and repairing devices, form four questions about missing repair-service information, and compare two solutions for using a faulty computer. Speak in complete, connected sentences and justify your recommendation using deadline, travel, price, warranty, and risk conditions. Total duration: 10–15 minutes.

Task 1: Interview — Buying and repairing devices
Intervija — Ierīču pirkšana un remonts
Answer ten questions about choosing devices, faults, repair, and warranties. Include a specific example, comparison, reason, or condition. Speak in complete, connected sentences.
Task 2: Missing information — Computer repair service
Trūkstošā informācija — Datoru remonta serviss
Read the repair-service notice. Four pieces of information are missing. During preparation, form one complete open question about each point. Do not use the word “vai” in the questions.
Task 3: Comparing two solutions for a faulty computer
20 points
Divu risinājumu salīdzinājums bojātam datoram
