2 9676/05/O/N/19 © UCLES 2019 1 Translate into Urdu: Many people have written about the advantages and disadvantages of living in cities, compared to life in small villages. For some people, peace and quiet, the beauty of nature and a slower pace of life are the most important factors; for others, the busy lifestyle and the easy access to a range of shops, restaurants and cinemas are what count most. In an urban environment younger people can also benefit from a wider choice of schools and better public transport. In contrast, older people may prefer the close community of village life where there is less crime and your neighbours are your friends. However, in some places, shops find it hard to attract enough customers because many of the younger people have moved to the cities. This also means that village schools suffer from falling pupil numbers and have to reduce staff or possibly even close. In some countries young adults can no longer live in the villages where they were born, as many of the houses are rented by tourists. Opportunities for work are also in decline in many rural areas, and young people have no choice but to move away. [40] … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2019 series for most Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.

9676/05 Cambridge International A Level – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 2 of 7 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: • the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question • the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question • the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: • marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate • marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do • marks are not deducted for errors • marks are not deducted for omissions • answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors.

9676/05 Cambridge International A Level – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 3 of 7 GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.
