Summative assessment for the unit «Breakthrough technologies»
English language Grade 10

Summative assessment (SA) is aimed to assess learners’ success in terms of the learning objectives achievement and reveal their level of knowledge and skills acquired during the term within the framework of updating the upper secondary education content. Specification describes the content and procedure for the delivery of the Summative Assessment for term in «The English language» in Grade 11. Subject Programme for «The English language» for 10-11 grades of upper secondaryeducation of the Natural-Mathematical direction on the updated content.

The structure of the summative assessment
This sample of Summative Assessment consists of 14 questions: listening, reading, writing and speaking. Different types of tasks are used in the summative assessment for term.
Listening – multiple matching task on the topic «Investigate and report on animal world: bats, eagles, bees and dolphins».
Reading – multiple choice task and open-ended questions in an extended text on the topic «Making connection in biology».
Writing – writing an article on the topics «Making connection in biology» and/or «Investigateand report on animal world: bats, eagles, bees and dolphins».
Speaking – explaining, justifying own and others’ point of view to open-ended questions while describing pictures in pairs on the topics «Making connection in biology» and/or «Investigate and report on animal world: bats, eagles, bees and dolphins».
Tapescript for listening task can be found in CD3 Tapescript 1. Transcript for listening task can be found after the mark scheme.

Task 1. Read the text and choose the correct option. 
A. Nanotechnology is the latest breakthrough in technology. It refers to science and technology in 
dimensions smaller than one thousand nanometers. One nanometer is a billionth of a meter. The 
research in nanotechnology is going primarily in two directions, construction of objects atom by 
atom and production of nano-sized machines. This field of technology is still mysterious for 
me, and includes a number of undiscovered things. 
B. Imagine if we could build objects by assembling the atoms. It is fascinating that we could build 
whatever we wanted, from a diamond to a flower. We would simply gather the necessary atoms 
in the correct way to make anything we wanted. If you got hungry, you wouldn't have to cook. 
You would just order what you wanted from a machine and it would assemble the food for you, 
atom by atom. If you needed new clothes, you wouldn't have to go to the store or even sew, a 
machine would assemble the atoms into a beautiful outfit. 
C. Another branch of nanotechnology research involves making nano-sized machines for different 
purposes. It is surprising that these nano-sized robots could go into your body and cure diseases. 
If you got sick you wouldn't need to have surgery. You would just drink a solution that 
contained the little nano-robots and they would repair your body from the inside, like little 
mechanics. 
D. Nanotechnology raises interesting questions, but, in my view, it has a lot of potential. If we 
could use nanotechnology to produce food and objects, it would mean the end of hunger and 
poverty. Perhaps we could even travel long distances almost instantly by disassembling our 
atoms in one place and reassembling them in our destination. The sky is the limit to what we 
could do with nanotechnology! 
1. Nanotechnology as a science is …. 
A) Exciting for the author. 
B) Interesting for the author. 
C) Unknown for the author.
