Based on all the content of textbook Jinbu 1 and chapter 1-3 in Jinbu 2, this Hassle Free Jinbu 1 & Jinbu 2 Home Speaking Test + Preparation + Marking Criteria gives you everything that you need for 3 or 4-lesson sequence (each lesson 40-50 minutes), suitable for end of year speaking/writing assessment.
This resource also goes with the video support shared on Youtube.
You can also use this to help the weaker students of GCSE or as a start-of-term speaking quiz before starting the GCSE syllabus.
There are also guidances that show you what level of support you should give your students, so although this support can be tailored to the level of your students, this remains challenging to the students.
This vocab list is very useful if the students are revising through categories. Adjectives are essential vocab when it comes to express opinion. Here I categorise this list to be adjectives for people only, so when students are writing about people, they can use this, very handy.
There are quizzes in every few adjectives, to check students’ understanding of the vocabulary they’ve learned. In addition, the quizzes are practised with the purpose of using the antonyms and tenses in mind, so this can be extremely helpful to support learners.
I will continue to update other categories.
There is also a Youtube video for learning this set of vocab.

This set of classroom sentence displays is not only great for speaking warmups either outside of the classroom while students are waiting or can be used in the classroom as a building block of using complicated sentences in the writing! Pictures and English are added to be more explicit and clearer.
