16-18 minor errors or first draft slips Sentences show some variation in length and type, including

the use of complex sentences Vocabulary is wide enough to convey intended meaning with

some precision Punctuation is almost always accurate and general helpful to

the reader Spelling is nearly always accurate Written in paragraphs that show some unity and are usually

linked appropriately The piece of writing is relevant to the topic and the interest of

the reader is aroused and sustained throughout the writing

C13-15

The language is largely accurate to communicate meaning clearly to the reader

Simple structures are used without errors: mistakes may occur when more sophisticated structures are attempted

Vocabulary is adequate to convey intended meaning although it may not be sufficiently developed to achieve precision

Sentences show some variety of length and structure although there is a tendency to use one type of structure, giving it a monotonous effect

Punctuation is generally accurate although errors may occur in more complex ones

Spelling is generally accurate for common vocabulary Written in paragraphs which show some unity, although links

may be absent or inappropriate at times

D10-12

The language is sufficiently accurate. There will be patches of clarity particularly when simple

structures are used. Mistakes will occur when more complex sentences are

attempted. There may be some variety of sentence length and type but

this may not be successful in enhancing meaning or arousing interest.

Vocabulary is adequate but lacks precision. Simple words are spelt correctly, but errors may occur when

unfamiliar words are used. Punctuation is generally correct but does not enhance or

clarify meaning. Sentence separation errors may occur. It is written in paragraphs which may show some unity in

topic. The style shows an attempt has been made to achieve

formality but this may not be sustained. The tone is not always appropriate.

E7-9

Meaning is never in doubt but single word errors are sufficiently frequent and serious to hamper precision and



speed of reading Some simple structures will be accurate but accuracy is not

sustained Vocabulary is limited and either too simple to convey precise

meaning or are imperfectly understood Simple words will usually be spelt accurately but frequent

mistakes in spelling when more difficult words are used Paragraphs lack unity The style and tone may not be appropriate for a talk

Ui4-6

Meaning is fairly clear but the incidence of error is high and definitely impedes the reading

There will be many serious errors of various kinds throughout the script but they are mainly of the single word type ( they can be corrected without rewriting the whole sentence )

This script will have very few accurate sentences There may be frequent spelling errors Punctuation will sometimes be used correctly but sentence

separation errors may occur Paragraphs may not be used or if used, it may not show the

understanding of the requirements of the task The tone and style is inappropriate for a talk.

Uii2-3

Some sense will usually be decipherable but some of the errors will be multiple, requiring the reader to re-read and re-organise before meaning becomes clear.

Whole sections make little or no sense. There are unlikely to be more than one or two accurate

sentences. The content is comprehensible but its tone and style are

hidden by the density of errors.

Uiii0-1

Scripts in this category are almost entirely impossible to recognise as pieces of English

Whole sections may make no sense at all or are copied from the task.

Award ‘1’ mark if some sense can be obtained. The mark ‘0’ should only be awarded if it makes no sense at

all from beginning to end.
