CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2013 series 0508 FIRST LANGUAGE ARABIC 0508/01 Paper 1 (Reading), maximum raw mark 50 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. 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 will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2013 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components.

Varied, precise vocabulary. Hardly any or no technical errors. 4 (Good) Clear, appropriate language. Appropriate vocabulary. Few technical errors. 3 (Adequate) Language generally appropriate, but unsophisticated and generally simple syntax. Adequate vocabulary. Some technical errors. 2 (Weak) Unsophisticated language, not always appropriate. Very simple syntax with some clumsiness. Thin vocabulary. A number of technical errors. 1 (Poor) Thin, inappropriate use of language. Confused and obscure. Many errors. Writing: Accuracy of Language Question 2: 15 marks are available for Reading. The examiner ticks each relevant point extracted from the text by the candidate; a mark is awarded for each tick, up to a maximum of 15. 10 marks are available for Writing, awarded as follows: 5 (Excellent) Excellent expression and focus with assured use of own words. Good summary style with orderly grouping of ideas; excellent linkage. Answer has sense of purpose. 4 (Good) Good expression in recognisable summary style. Attempts to focus and to group ideas; good linkage. 3 (Adequate) Satisfactory expression in own words. Reasonably concise with some sense of order. Occasional lapses of focus. 2 (Weak) Limited expression but mostly in own words (i.e. may contain some lifting). Some sense of order but little sense of summary. Tendency to lose focus (e.g. by including some anecdote); thread not always easy to follow. 1 (Poor) Expression just adequate; maybe list-like. Considerable lifting; repetitive. Much irrelevance.
