The Movers Exam
A1 Movers is the second test as part of Cambridge English Qualifications for young learners. This test introduces kids to everyday English, helping them gain confidence in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
At the Movers level children can understand basic instructions or take part in simple conversations. They can also complete basic forms and write notes, including times, dates and places. They will be able to explain differences and tell a story as well as respond to simple questions about their preferences and day to day lives.

Picture 2 is different. The belt, the pencil and the sock are all under the bed but in picture 2 the jacket is on the bed.
Picture 2 is different. In pictures 1, 3 and 4 the children are at school but in picture 2 they are at home. They are watching TV and they aren’t wearing a school uniform.
