This is exam practice: no dictionaries, as in the real exam.
Print: this sheet, one per pupil, and the stimulus sheet “Pecyn staff yr haf: Canolfan Awyr Agored Nant Llwyd”, one between two. No computers or phones are needed. The centre and everyone in it are invented; an English translation for you is at the bottom of the stimulus sheet.

Collect: this sheet. Checks you can make without any Welsh: Step 1 answers are 17 July, 09:00 to 16:00, arrive by 08:15, reply by Friday 9 July, phone if ill. In Step 2 the sick-on-the-day situation must be a phone call, and the pupil must not give a customer their own number. The Step 4 e-mail should be 120 to 150 words and start Annwyl Ms Morgan; the Step 3 text should use ti, the e-mail chi.
Rwyt ti wedi cael swydd haf mewn canolfan awyr agored. Rwyt ti’n darllen e-bost gan y rheolwr a pholisi cyfathrebu’r staff. Wedyn rwyt ti’n dewis y ffordd orau o gyfathrebu mewn chwe sefyllfa, ac yn ysgrifennu neges destun, e-bost ffurfiol a neges i’r cyfryngau cymdeithasol, pob un yn y cywair iawn.
You have a summer job at an outdoor centre. You read an e-mail from the manager and the staff communication policy. Then you choose the best way to communicate in six situations, and write a text message, a formal e-mail and a social media post, each in the right register.
(a) Pryd mae’r Diwrnod Agored? Rho’r dyddiad a’r amser. When is the Open Day? Give the date and time.
(b) Erbyn pryd mae angen i’r staff gyrraedd? By what time must staff arrive? ____________
(c) Rho dri pheth mae Elin eisiau yn dy e-bost, a’r dyddiad cau. Give three things Elin wants in your e-mail, and the deadline.
(d) Beth sy’n rhaid i ti ei wneud os wyt ti’n sâl ar y diwrnod? Beth sydd ddim yn iawn? What must you do if you are ill on the day? What is not allowed?
Dewisa o’r rhestr: e-bost · galwad ffôn · sgwrs grŵp y staff · post ar gyfryngau cymdeithasol y ganolfan · cyhoeddiad a phoster · dim, cyfeirio at y wefan. Rho’r cywair (ffurfiol neu anffurfiol, ti neu chi) a rheswm. Defnyddia rif o’r polisi. Cei di roi’r rheswm yn Saesneg.
Choose from the list. Give the register (formal or informal, ti or chi) and a reason, with a number from the policy. You may give the reason in English.
| Sefyllfa / situation | Pa ffordd? | Cywair | Pam? / Why? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Rwyt ti eisiau derbyn y shifft a gofyn cwestiwn am y crys-T. Accept the shift and ask about the T-shirt. | |||
| 2. Mae hi’n 07:40 ar fore’r Diwrnod Agored ac rwyt ti’n sâl. It is 07:40 on the morning of the Open Day and you are ill. | |||
| 3. Rwyt ti eisiau newid shifft gyda Tomos. You want to swap a shift with Tomos. | |||
| 4. Mae’r ganolfan eisiau dweud wrth deuluoedd am y Diwrnod Agored. The centre wants to tell families about the Open Day. | |||
| 5. Am 11:00 mae’r gwynt yn rhy gryf ac mae’r canŵio wedi’i ganslo. At 11:00 the wind is too strong and canoeing is cancelled. | |||
| 6. Mae rhiant yn gofyn am dy rif ffôn di i drefnu gwers ddringo. A parent asks for your phone number to arrange a climbing lesson. |
Meddylia: pam na fyddai neges yn y sgwrs grŵp yn iawn ar gyfer sefyllfa 2? Think: why would a group chat message not be right for situation 2? Give two reasons.
Mae angen i ti adael am 14:00 ar y diwrnod. Gofynna i Tomos a fydd e’n gwneud dy shifft canŵio yn y prynhawn. Rho reswm, a chynigia rywbeth yn ôl. 25 i 40 gair. Anffurfiol, ti.
