Di seguito è riportato un esempio di riassunto di un capitolo che otterrà 10 punti. Contiene tutti gli eventi chiave della storia e i dettagli rilevanti, come l'argomento della conversazione tra i personaggi e i pensieri dei personaggi principali.

Chapter 1: Down the Rabbit Hole (Alice in Wonderland)

Alice was sitting by a riverbank when she got bored reading her sister's book because it didn't have pictures. She noticed that a white rabbit, dressed in a coat and holding a watch, was in a hurry and followed him. She fell down a long tunnel and while falling she saw many things in it, like a marmalade jar. The fall was so long she wondered what part of the earth she was in. She even thought about her cat Dinah. Finally, she landed on the ground and saw the white rabbit again. She followed it but it disappeared and she ended up in a long hall with closed doors. She found a key on a table and used it to open each door. It opened one door to a beautiful garden, but she was too big to go outside. She saw a bottle that said "Drink me" and after seeing that it wasn't marked poison she drank it. She got smaller. But she forgot the key on the table, and she became too small to reach it, so she couldn't go out the door. She cried. Then she saw a cake that said "Eat me" so she ate it and nothing happened at first.

08 giugno 2022 L'indicazioni per l'esame finale
Gli studenti devono ignorare la modalità della valutazione indicata nella pagina del corso. Invece, gli studenti possono scegliere di leggere e studiare un libro (tra "Alice in Wonderland" and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone") dall'elenco dei libri richiesti. La prima parte dell'esame consisterà nella scrittura di uno o due riassunti di capitoli, a scelta del docente, del libro scelto dallo studente. La seconda parte dell'esame consisterà in domande a risposta multipla su argomenti grammaticali trattati a lezione. "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" non sarà oggetto di particolare attenzione durante l’esame stesso.
