Paper 1 Level 5 exemplar 2 comments
- In Question 1, the candidate briefly described the spatial distribution of major volcanoes in the Pacific region.
He/she used his/her geographical knowledge in an appropriate way to compare the formation of volcanoes X and
Y. He/she basically understood the negative impacts of the eruption of volcano Y and clearly explained how
technology could reduce such impacts. However, he/she should not have included the formation of acid rain in
the answer. Finally, he/she discussed appropriately the opportunities and risks brought about by volcano Y.
- In Question 2, the candidate clearly described the land uses specified on the map extract and briefly explained the
urban problems in area X with reference to the information provided. He/she correctly identified the urban
renewal strategy shown in Figure 2b as ‘revitalisation’ and discussed its merits using geographical concepts.
Finally, he/she discussed in detail the demerits of rehabilitation but should have elaborated on its merits as well.
- In Question 6, the candidate understood well the nature and production mode of the IT industry and clearly
explained the characteristics of the global locational distribution of this industry. He/she also thoroughly
discussed the role of the US government in expanding the development of the IT industry in its own country.

Paper 2 Level 5 exemplar 2 comments
- The candidate demonstrated sound knowledge of the curriculum and communicated his/her knowledge
and understanding with accurate use of geographical terminology. He/she exhibited a balanced performance in
both the structured question and the short essay question.
- In Question 2, the candidate demonstrated comprehensive knowledge of the factors affecting the temperature
patterns of Hong Kong and city X. He/she made good use of geographical terminology to compare the
temperature patterns of the two cities. He/she also systematically described the changes in weather conditions
before and after the passage of a cold front. However, he/she should have explained the weather phenomenon
more clearly. He/she should also have mentioned the southward movement of cold air in an
anti-cyclonic outflow after the passage of the cold front, causing high pressure and a clear sky.
- In Question 8, the candidate provided a detailed account of the industrial development of the Zhujiang Delta
Region in the last decade. He/she logically explained the development and supported this with appropriate
examples. He/she comprehensively discussed the importance of scientific research and human resources on the
industrial development of the region. He/she communicated his knowledge and understanding of the
topic consistently in a coherent and logical manner, making use of extensive geographical terminology
and the concept of spatial location.
