Commentary
This candidate attempted all three pieces of information. However, the reader needs to interpret what
the candidate means for the second content point, which room they like best. Because of this, the script
was awarded 3.

2 marks
Commentary
This answer only covers two of the content points, which room they like best and why. That the house
is 'in Japan' is not a satisfactory answer to 'where the new house is' and the errors in spelling and
grammar in the rest of the text are too extensive to justify 3 points. The candidate was therefore
awarded 2 marks.
