The following are four Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) Level 4 tasks in the four skills (Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing).
- CLB4L Listen to a short, simple commercial about a product or service to get the gist and enough information to decide whether the product is worth purchasing. Watch this TV commercial, from 1:28 through 1:58. In no more than 30 seconds, record what the message is and state your decision, with reasons, why you would or wouldn't buy the product.
- CLB4S Introduce a teacher or employer to a family member. Imagine that you left your USB key in school, and--surprise!--your teacher came to your door at 7 p.m.--how would you introduce your teacher to your family? Record your words, in less than a minute, on chirbit.com.
- CLB4R Find an advertisement to match a list of apartment rental requirements. In Kijiji.ca, find three apartments for rent for less than $2,000 a month, including parking and locker, that are within 1 km to Don Mills Station in Toronto. On your blog, list the information on rental, parking, and locker, with the totals, and identify which apartment is the most expensive and which is the cheapest.
- CLB4W Write a short personal note to thank a host, friend, or supervisor for lunch. You have just attended classmate Jordan's lunch at D'Mays Trident Restaurant, 1205 Forest Valley Rd, off Hwy 401, Tel. 416 225 5553, from 12 - 2 p.m., and enjoyed a feast of lobsters, roasted seaweed, Pepsi, and apple pie.
