YLE Flyers
Dear Parent
Thank you for encouraging your child to learn English and to take this YLE
(Young Learners English) Flyers test.
We believe that learning English should be fun and stimulating for children
and we hope it will also be interesting for you to watch your child grow in
confidence as he or she learns more and more English. Taking a test such as
YLE Flyers is an excellent way of motivating your child to learn and showing
how much progress he or she has made.
We have prepared this booklet to give you and your child a brief introduction to
the different parts of YLE Flyers and the type of questions you can expect to
find. We hope you will take the time to read the booklet together with your
child and that it will give you a clear picture of what we expect children to be
able to do in English when taking YLE Flyers.
Young Learners English tests come to you from Cambridge ESOL (English for
Speakers of Other Languages) which is part of Cambridge Assessment, a
department of the world-famous University of Cambridge in the UK. So, you
can be sure that we have created a test you can trust which will help your child
to do his or her very best at English.
We hope you enjoy preparing for and taking YLE Flyers!
With best wishes
Cambridge ESOL

Part 1 (5 questions)
In Part 1 you see a big picture which shows different people doing different things. There
are seven names round the picture. You hear an adult and a child talking about the
people in the picture. You have to draw a line from the name you hear to the correct
person in the picture. We have done an example for you. Can you see the line from
William? In the test, there are three more people you have to find.
Katy
Harry
William
Sarah
This is what you hear …
Can you see the line? This is
an example. Now you listen
and draw lines.
Man: Who’s the boy just behind
William?
Girl: There are two boys just behind
him. Which one do you mean?
Man: The one with dark hair. He’s
coming second in the race now.
Girl: Oh, that’s Harry. He’s very good
at running, too.
Man: Look at all the silver cups on
the table.
Girl: Yes, they’re ready for the teams
that win.
Man: Who’s the older boy? – look,
he’s sitting next to the table.
Girl: That’s Michael. He’s won lots of
cups for running. He’s going to
give the cups to the children
that win.
Richard
Michael
Helen
Part 2 (5 questions)
In Part 2 you hear a conversation between two speakers. On the question paper there is
a form or a page on a notepad. You have to write a word or a number in five places on
the form or notepad. You do not have to spell words perfectly if they are not spelled out
for you. In the conversation below, a woman is asking a man about his children’s sports
club. In the test there are three more questions like these.
This is what you hear …
Now you listen and write.
Woman: Is it near here?
Man: Yes! It’s next to the
chocolate factory.
Woman: Oh. I know it. That’s good!
Man: Yes, the children like the
smell.
Woman: OK. So when can children
use the club? I mean, which
days?
Man:
Well, it’s open for everyone
from Friday to Tuesday. It’s
closed on Wednesdays and
Thursdays.

Part 3 (5 questions)
In Part 3 you have two sets of pictures. On the left hand page of the exam paper there
are some pictures of named people or other named places or objects. On the right hand
side is a set of pictures with letters but no words. You hear a conversation between two
people and you have to match one of the lettered pictures to one of the named pictures.
You write a letter in each box beside the named pictures.
Have a look at the pictures below. What did each person in Mr Salt’s family choose to buy
in the new supermarket? In the test, there are two more people to match to objects.
This is what you hear …
Girl: Have you been to that new supermarket in town, Mr Salt?
Man: Yes, I took all the family there last week to do some shopping. It sells all kinds of
things – clothes, food, things for the car, sports things. I even found a very nice
dark blue suitcase there. It wasn’t expensive so I bought it to use on our next
holiday.
Girl: Did anyone else buy anything?
Man: Well, David. He’s my oldest son – he’s nineteen. He wanted a volleyball so he
went to look at all the sports things first. He found one and he bought it. There
were a lot of other things that he wanted, too, so he’ll go there again another day.
He’ll have some more money soon.
Girl: You’ve got a daughter too, haven’t you?
Man: I’ve got two! The older one is called Betty. She just loves clothes and she found
some shorts which she liked a lot. They were too big for her, but she still bought
them because she loved the colour. She’ll have to wear a belt with them, I think.
