English-is-FUN-PET.indb 2 10/1/19 12:17 Introducción

El Preliminary English Test (PET®) es un examen de nivel intermedio creado por Cambridge para los estudiantes de inglés de este nivel. 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 B1 examinando las cuatro competencias lingüísticas en sendas secciones: comprensión escrita (Reading), expresión escrita (Writing), comprensión oral (Listening) y expresión oral (Speaking). Este cuaderno, concebido específicamente para que te entrenes para el examen del PET, te per- mitirá 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 las partes de Reading y Writing, que representan 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 corres- ponden con los ejercicios, en la siguiente dirección: www.vox.es/cuaderno_PET. La sección Speaking la puedes hacer con un compañero, ya que los candidatos realizan esta parte del examen a dúo ante dos examinadores. El PET es un diploma reconocido por cientos de escuelas e instituciones que se cuentan entre las mejores de todo el mundo. Este examen te atribuirá un nivel B1 y certificará que posees las bases del inglés y que eres ca- paz 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 inglés El examen del PET se realiza completamente en lengua inglesa, 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.
