    Examiner rubric
    You’re going to hear a short talk about a famous person. You will hear the talk twice. The first time, just
    listen. Then I’ll ask you to tell me in a few words what the speaker is talking about. Are you ready?
    The task will play once.
    Now tell me in a few words what the talk is about.
    Give the candidate some blank notepaper.
    Now listen to the talk again. Write down some notes about what you hear, if you want to. Then I’ll ask you to

    When the candidate has finished, select four follow-up questions from the list below. Choose four questions
    which correspond to facts not already reported by the candidate.
    Audio script
    Some people say that the best chess player ever was a man called Garry Kasparov. He was born in 1963
    and started playing chess when he was only 5 years old. By 1984 he was the number one chess player
    in the world. Garry Kasparov was the youngest person ever to be the best chess player and what’s more
    amazing is that he stayed number one in the world for 19 years! Perhaps what Garry Kasparov is most well-
    known for is playing chess against a computer. The computer was called Deep Blue. The designers of Deep
    Blue thought that no person could defeat the computer at chess. In fact, Kasparov won 4 games against
    Deep Blue and the computer only won 2 games. In 2005 he decided to stop playing chess in competitions,
    although he still plays for fun and teaches other people to play like him.
