Introducción

El Key English Test (KET®), también llamado Cambridge English: Key, es el primer nivel de examen creado por Cambridge para los estudiantes de inglés. Aprobarlo significa que dominas las bases de la lengua y que sabes utilizarla y comunicarte en ella en las situaciones de la vida cotidiana, en el trabajo o en los estudios. Puedes hacerlo en papel o por ordenador. Certifica la adquisición del nivel A2 examinando las cuatro competencias lin-güísticas en tres secciones: comprensión y expresión escrita (Reading & Writing), comprensión oral (Listening) y expresión oral (Speaking). Este cuaderno, concebido específicamente para que te entrenes para el examen del KET, te permitirá avanzar en estas cuatro competencias y familiarizarte con el tipo de ejercicios con los que te encontrarás en la prueba. Para una preparación óptima, te recomendamos practicar las distintas competencias en la parte Preparing, y más adelante ejercitarte en las condiciones reales del examen con los dos tests completos, utilizando la tabla de respuestas (Answer Sheet) que te proporcionamos al final del libro y cronometrándote. Una vez completados los tests, dirígete a las soluciones y repasa en la parte Preparing los ejercicios en los que has fallado. Dedica un esfuerzo especial a la parte de Reading & Writing, que representa el 50 % de la nota final (consulta la tabla de la página siguiente). Para la parte de Listening, necesitarás descargar los archivos de audio que se corresponden con los ejercicios, en la siguiente dirección: www.vox.es/cuaderno_KET. La sección de Speaking la puedes hacer con un compañero, ya que los candidatos realizan esta parte del examen a dúo ante dos examinadores. El KET es un diploma reconocido por cientos de escuelas e instituciones que se cuentan entre las mejores de todo el mundo. La nota conseguida te atribuirá un nivel entre A1 y B1 y certificará que posees las bases del inglés y que eres capaz de comunicarte en esta lengua. Un hito importante antes de encaminarte hacia exámenes de nivel superior, estudios en el extranjero o viajes por el mundo anglófono.

Instrucciones en inglésEl examen del KET se realiza completamente en lengua inglesa, instrucciones y consignas incluidas, lo que representa una novedad para la mayoría de los candidatos. Así pues, para poder prepararte mejor, en este cuaderno de entrenamiento vas a encontrar las instrucciones en inglés. De esta manera, te familiarizarás con el vocabulario de la prueba, evitarás trampas y ganarás un tiempo que te resultará precioso el día D. En el examen, lee atentamente las consignas y tómate tu tiempo para repasar. Ahí, la preparación que has adquirido gracias a este cuaderno de entrenamiento de Vox marcará totalmente la diferencia.
