Part Four (15 marks)

r
Give a mark out of 10 for the accurate identification and correction of up to 10 errors in the

pe
text. Two of these marks may be awarded for praise given for anything good found but this
is not obligatory.
• Give a mark out of three for a clear key to the symbols used by the candidate

Pa
• Give a mark out of 2 for the comments about the essay – justified and accurate or not? This
mark may be raised to 5 and the mark for identification of errors lowered to 7 IF the
candidate has provided very good reasons why she/he has omitted to mark errors in the

e
text e.g. not indicating repeated error, choosing to indicate general rules broken at the
bottom of the text rather than each individual mistake.

r
Issues which should be brought out about this essay for full marks are:

pe
• The candidate has misunderstood the question and written an answer to the title –
Describe the best place to visit.

Pa
• The simple structures used indicate that the candidate is not fully competent at this
level.e.g …the weather is not very hot and not very cold….
• Essay shows basic errors throughout and shows that the student does not have sufficient

e
control of the language. Repeated errors with articles
•

pl
An attempt has been made to organise the writing using connectors e.g.First of all, Also,
Moreover, Finally.
•

m
The language is repetitive and too simple. eg It is a wonderful place.
• The composition would fall into the Refer band at B2 level
