Q11.

For this question there are two compulsory bullet points, which are assessed for Content
(15 marks), Range of language (12 marks) and Accuracy (5 marks), as specified in the
criteria below. The maximum mark is 32. The student is expected to produce
approximately 150 words over the whole question. The number of words is approximate
and you must mark all work produced by the student.

Content

Level Marks Response

An excellent response which is fully relevant and detailed,


5 13-15 conveying a lot of information. Communication is clear with
little or no ambiguity. Opinions are expressed and justified.

A very good response which is almost always relevant and


which conveys a lot of information. Communication is
4 10-12
mostly clear but there are a few ambiguities. Opinions are
expressed and justified.

A good response which is generally relevant with quite a lot


of information conveyed. Communication is usually clear
3 7-9
but there are some ambiguities. Opinions are expressed
and may be justified.

A reasonable response with some relevant information


conveyed. Communication is sometimes clear but there
2 4-6
may be instances where messages break down. An opinion
is expressed.

A basic response which conveys a limited amount of


relevant information. Communication may not be clear and
1 1-3
there are instances where messages break down. An
opinion may be expressed.

The content does not meet the standard required for Level
0 0
1 at this tier.

Notes

There may be some imbalance in the coverage of the two compulsory bullet points but,
provided at least some coverage of both bullet points is evident, students will have access
to full marks where the other criteria are met.

Range of language

Level Marks Response

Very good variety of appropriate vocabulary and structures.


More complex sentences are handled with confidence,
4 10-12
producing a fluent piece of coherent writing. The style and
register are appropriate.

3 7-9 Good variety of appropriate vocabulary and structures.

Page 21 of 33
More complex sentences are regularly attempted and are
mostly successful, producing a mainly fluent piece of
coherent writing with occasional lapses. The style and
register are appropriate

Some variety of appropriate vocabulary and structures.


Longer sentences are attempted, using appropriate linking
2 4-6
words, often successfully. The style and register may not
always be appropriate.

Little variety of appropriate vocabulary. Structures are likely


1 1–3 to be short and simple. Little or no awareness of style and
register.

The range of language produced does not meet the


0 0
standard required for Level 1 at this tier.

Notes

A mark of zero for Content automatically results in a mark of zero for Range of language.
Apart from that, the Content mark does not limit the mark for Range of language.

Accuracy

Level Marks Response

Accurate, although there may be a few errors especially in


5 5 attempts at more complex structures. Verbs and tense
formations are secure.

Generally accurate. Some minor errors. Occasional major


4 4 errors, usually in attempts at more complex structures.
Verbs and tense formations are nearly always correct.

Reasonably accurate. There are likely to be minor errors


3 3 and there may be some major errors, not only in complex
structures. Verb and tense formations are usually correct.

More accurate than inaccurate. The intended meaning is


2 2 generally clear. Verb and tense formations are sometimes
correct.

There may be major errors and frequent minor ones, and


1 1 the intended meaning is not always clear. There is only
limited success with verb and tense formations.

The accuracy does not meet the standard required for Level
0 0
1 at this tier.

Notes

(a) A major error is one which seriously affects communication.

(b) A mark of zero for Content automatically results in a mark of zero for Accuracy. Apart
from that, the Content mark does not limit the mark for Accuracy.

The following indicative content is an example of the response that students may give to
this question. It demonstrates a balanced coverage of the compulsory bullet points.

This is a possible response (indicative content):

Je ne peux pas vivre sans mon téléphone portable. Je l’utilise tout le temps pour
télécharger et écouter de la musique. J’ai aussi plein de jeux sur ma tablette que j’adore.
Avec mon portable et ma tablette je peux envoyer des messages et des images tout le
temps à mes amis. Je regarde souvent la télévision. Nous avons la télé par satellite et je
regarde n’importe quoi. En général la télé en Angleterre est de bonne qualité mais
quelquefois il y a trop de télé-réalité. C’est ridicule. Le week-end dernier c’était
l’anniversaire de mon ami et il a invité 10 amis chez lui. Nous sommes arrivés vers 20h30
et nous avons commandé des pizzas et regardé un film d’action à la télé. J’ai beaucoup
aimé le film et la soirée était excellente. Le dimanche mes grandsparents sont venus chez
moi et ils m’ont donné de l’argent de poche. Le week-end était super !! (153 words)

Examiner reports

Q1.
These questions were aimed at the most able students and discriminated pretty well. In
question 1, very few students successfully conveyed the key idea required by the mark
scheme. A large majority of answers lacked the precision required at this level and were
therefore not awarded a mark. Only 4.7% of students were successful here. In question 2,
‘lieu de naissance’ was not understood by many. Question 3 led to some guess work as to
when you should alert an adult, rather than the actual information provided by the
speaker. The mark scheme for this question accepted a range of possible synonyms for
‘désagréable’. Vague answers, or answers which did not make it clear that the comments
were written, were rejected.

Q2.

For general marking of this question please refer to the Examiners Report.

Q3.

For general marking of this question please refer to the Examiners Report.

Q4.
Question 1 was very well answered (82% correct). Question 2 was less successfully
answered (just under 50% correct), though utilisent leur vrai nom could have been linked
to utilisent leur vraie identité in the passage. Many students struggled in question 3 where
A (très peu d’amis) was often wrongly chosen suggesting the vocabulary here is not well
known.

Q15.
Lower Tier

Students did better than expected in this first overlap question, with high marks in three of
the five parts. Less than half gained the mark in parts (c) and (e). A study of wrong
answers did not indicate clearly why this had occurred, in that chosen responses had no
obvious justification in the texts.

Higher Tier

This third overlap question was also well answered at this tier. It was common to find
responses to all five parts being correct.

Q16.
Students found this section difficult. part 1 was done well by the majority of students as
the words piscine and natation are usually well known. Part 2 was the least well-answered
question in this section and in the paper, with just over two-thirds of students not gaining a
mark. Those who scored were able to identify the meaning of the word boutique, but that
also misled many into choosing answer C. Students should be reminded to always listen
to the whole utterance before making a judgement. In this instance, the clues parking
gratuit and sept jours sur sept may have helped them realise that the advertisement could

Page 26 of 33
not have been about a product. Parts 3 and 4 were better attempted but the necessity to
listen to the whole utterance applies once again here.

Q17.
Vocabulary on this topic such as écran tactile and imprimer was known by few students. In
part 1, abonnez-vous was tested, but careful use of English was required to gain the
mark: while ‘sign up’ is an acceptable alternative to ‘subscribe’ in an on-line context, ‘sign
in’ is not.

Q18.
The vocabulary relating to using information technology in social settings is a major part of
young people’s lives today, and the relevant vocabulary from the specification used in this
question such as rester en contact, un réseau social, partager la musique and votre mot
de passe should be known. The wide range of incorrect answers given indicates that
many students simply guessed at the missing words. An understanding of sentence
structure is useful in reading comprehension and would be an advantage in tackling this
type of question.

questions must be asked. You may paraphrase the questions provided the same meaning
is maintained, and you may repeat or paraphrase a question that the candidate does not
understand. You should allow the candidates to develop their responses as well as they
are able. However, do not go over the maximum time of two minutes for the questions and
answers on the Photo card.

sans boulot.

j’avais menti pour aller à une fête avec lui. Le problème, c’est qu’elle nous a
vus sur des photos. Depuis, elle ne me permet plus de voir cet ami.
