Modelo de examen PAU 2027 de Inglés (Madrid): resuelto paso a paso

Question 1 · True / False / Not Given (2 puntos)

Eliges 2 de 3 afirmaciones. En True y False hay que copiar la frase del texto que lo justifica; en Not Given no se escribe nada más.

a) True. Evidencia: “The arrival of the railway in 1853 and Queen Victoria’s 1861 visit did the rest.”

b) False. Evidencia: “The train station is in the centre of town so it is quite possible to travel without flying or driving.” Es decir, no hay que ir a las afueras.

c) Not Given. El texto menciona a unos estadounidenses que debaten sobre el “jaunting car”, pero no dice que disfruten de los lagos.

a) True · b) False · c) Not Given.

Error típico: poner una cita cuando la respuesta es Not Given (puntúa 0), o responder True/False sin copiar la frase.

Question 2 · Respuesta con tus propias palabras (2 puntos)

No se puede copiar del texto: 0,5 por las ideas parafraseadas y 0,5 por la expresión, en cada apartado.

a) Two problems. “Too many hotels and new houses were built, and the roads became full of cars. Besides, visitors who partied at night disturbed the peace of the town.”

b) Green initiative. “Killarney does not allow coffee shops to give disposable cups. Customers have to bring their own reusable cup or pay a deposit of €2 for a local one, which they can keep or return to get their money back.”

Ideas clave: exceso de hoteles y tráfico y fiestas ruidosas; prohibición de vasos de un solo uso con depósito de 2 €.

Error típico: copiar frases literales del texto (por ejemplo “single-use coffee cups”), que se penaliza.

Question 3 · Vocabulario (1 punto)

Busca en el párrafo indicado la palabra que significa lo mismo.

• found (párrafo 1) → discovered
• terrible (párrafo 2) → awful
• perseverance (párrafo 2) → tenacity
• prohibit (párrafo 3) → ban
• neat (párrafo 3) → clean

discovered · awful · tenacity · ban · clean

Error típico: responder con una palabra de otro párrafo: cada ítem se busca en el párrafo que se indica.

Question 4 · Transformaciones (2 puntos)

Haces 4 de las 6 (0,5 cada una). La oración debe ser correcta en ortografía, gramática y sentido.

• a) My sister was not old enough to travel on her own. (enough + negación: “too young” ≈ “not old enough”).
• b) Patrick had never driven a car before last year. (primera vez en el pasado → past perfect con never).
• c) My brother is used to sleeping until noon. (be used to + -ing, costumbre).
• d) My teacher apologised for being late for the lesson. (apologise for + -ing).
• e) Peter asked the girl when she would be back. (estilo indirecto: orden afirmativo, sin “do”, y will → would).
• f) There is no point (in) listening to what she has to say. (there is no point + (in) + -ing).

enough, never, used to, apologised for, reported question y “no point in + -ing”.

Error típico: mantener el orden de pregunta en el estilo indirecto (“when would she be back”) o escribir “apologised to be”.

Question 5 · Redacción, 140-180 palabras (3 puntos)

Eliges una opción: a) por qué la gente disfruta haciendo senderismo, o b) un email informal a un amigo extranjero. Se puntúa adecuación (1,5) y expresión (1,5), con tramos de 0,5.

Modelo para la opción a) (152 palabras):

People enjoy hiking in natural environments for several reasons. First of all, it is a great way to disconnect from the stress of daily life. When you walk in a forest or in the mountains, there are no screens, no traffic and no noise, so your mind can relax. Secondly, hiking is good for your health. You exercise without noticing it, you breathe clean air and you sleep better afterwards. For example, a long walk can be as good exercise as a gym class and it is much cheaper. Finally, many people hike because it is a social activity. You can go with friends or family, talk during the walk and share the food at the top. Moreover, the views are often so beautiful that everybody wants to take photos and remember the day. In my opinion, hiking combines nature, health and good company, and that is why it is so popular.

Modelo para la opción b) (166 palabras, sin firmar):

Hi Tom,

I am so happy that you are coming to visit us! Since you only have one day, here is my plan for you. In the morning, I suggest you walk around the old town. The main square is really lovely and there is a small market where you can try local cheese and fresh fruit. Then, you should visit the castle, because it has amazing views of the whole valley. For lunch, there is a family restaurant near the river that serves delicious traditional food and it is not expensive. In the afternoon, you could relax in the park by the lake or rent a bike, which is a great way to see more places in a short time. If you still have energy in the evening, we can have an ice cream and watch the sunset from the bridge. It is my favourite place in town!

Let me know what time your train arrives and I will pick you up.

See you soon!
