Page 4 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – March 2016 0500 22 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 Note: Reward overview of challenges and/or opportunities in the headline as an additional A3 point. The discriminator is the development of the writer’s suggestions as to what attracted him to Sun Ranch / ranching and presenting the material with this in mind. This requires candidates to draw inferences. Ideas and opinions must be derived from the passage, developing the implications. Marking Criteria for Question 1 Table 1, Reading: Use the following table to give a mark out of 15 for Reading. Band 1: 13–15 The response reveals a thorough reading of the passage. Developed ideas are sustained and well related to the passage. A wide range of ideas is applied. There is supporting detail throughout, which is well integrated into the response, contributing to a strong sense of purpose and approach. All three bullets are well covered. A consistent and convincing voice is used. Band 2: 10–12 The response demonstrates a competent reading of the passage. A good range of ideas is evident. Some ideas are developed, but the ability to sustain them may not be consistent. There is frequent, helpful supporting detail, contributing to a clear sense of purpose. All three bullets are covered. An appropriate voice is used. Band 3: 7–9 The passage has been read reasonably well. A range of straightforward ideas is offered. Opportunities for development are rarely taken. Supporting detail is present but there may be some mechanical use of the passage. There is uneven focus on the bullets. The voice is plain. Band 4: 4–6 There is some evidence of general understanding of the main ideas, although the response may be thin or in places lack focus on the passage or the question. Some brief, straightforward reference to the passage is made. There may be some reliance on lifting from the text. One of the bullets may not be addressed. The voice might be inappropriate. Band 5: 1–3 The response is either very general, with little reference to the passage, or a reproduction of sections of the original. Content is either insubstantial or unselective. There is little realisation of the need to modify material from the passage. Band 6: 0 There is little or no relevance to the question or to the passage.

Page 5 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – March 2016 0500 22 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 Table B: Writing: Structure and order, style of language Use the following table to give a mark out of 5 for Writing. Band 1 5 The language of the response sounds convincing and consistently appropriate. Ideas are firmly expressed in a wide range of effective and/or interesting language. Structure and sequence are sound throughout. Band 2 4 Language is mostly fluent and there is clarity of expression. There is a sufficient range of vocabulary to express ideas with subtlety and precision. The response is mainly well structured and well sequenced. Band 3 3 Language is clear but comparatively plain and/or factual, expressing little opinion. Ideas are rarely extended, but explanations are adequate. Some sections are quite well sequenced but there may be flaws in structure. Band 4 2 There may be some awkwardness of expression and some inconsistency of style. Language is too limited to express shades of meaning. There is structural weakness and there may be some copying from the passage. Band 5 1 Expression and structure lacks clarity. Language is weak and undeveloped. There is very little attempt to explain ideas. There may be frequent copying from the original. Band 6 0 The response cannot be understood.

Page 6 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – March 2016 0500 22 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 Question 2 This question tests Reading Objective R4 (10 marks): R4 demonstrate understanding of how writers achieve effects Re-read the descriptions of: (a) the sun setting and the light in paragraph 1, beginning, ‘When the sun dropped…’ (b) the log cabin in paragraph 5, beginning ‘My house on Badluck Way…’. Select four powerful words or phrases from each paragraph. Your choices should include imagery. Explain how each word or phrase is used effectively in the context. Write about 200 to 300 words. Up to 10 marks are available for the content of your answer. [10] General notes This question is marked for the ability to select powerful or unusual words and for an understanding of ways in which the language is effective. Expect responses to provide words (listed in the mark scheme on page 9) that carry connotations additional to general meaning. Mark holistically for the overall quality of the response, not for the number of words chosen, bearing in mind that there should be a range of choices to demonstrate an understanding of how language works for the higher bands, and that this should include the ability to explain images. It is the quality of the analysis that attracts marks. Do not take marks off for inaccurate statements; simply ignore them. The following notes are a guide to what good responses might say about the selections. They can make any sensible comment, but only credit those that are relevant to the correct meanings of the words in the context and that have some validity. Alternative acceptable explanations should be credited. Credit comments on effects created by non-vocabulary choices such as grammar/syntax and punctuation devices. They must be additional to comments on vocabulary.

Page 8 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – March 2016 0500 22 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 Marking Criteria for Question 2 Table A, Reading: Language analysis: Use the following table to give a mark out of 10 for Reading. Band 1 9–10 Wide ranging and closely focused discussion of language with some high quality comments that add associations to words in both parts of the question, and demonstrate the writer’s reasons for using them. Tackles imagery with some precision and imagination. There is clear evidence that the candidate understands how language works. Band 2 7–8 Explanations are given of appropriately selected words and phrases, and effects are identified in both parts of the question. Images are recognised as such and the response goes some way to explaining them. There is some evidence that the candidate understands how language works. Band 3 5–6 A satisfactory attempt is made to identify appropriate words and phrases. The response mostly gives meanings of words and any attempt to suggest and explain effects is basic, vague or very general. One half of the question may be better answered than the other. Band 4 3–4 The response provides a mixture of appropriate choices and words that communicate less well. The response may correctly identify linguistic or literary devices but not explain why they are used. Explanations of meaning may be few, general, slight or only partially effective. They may repeat the language of the original or do not refer to specific words. Band 5 1–2 The choice of words is insufficient or rarely relevant. Any comments are inappropriate and the response is very thin. Band 6 0 The response does not relate to the question. Inappropriate words and phrases are chosen or none are selected.

Page 11 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – March 2016 0500 22 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 Marking Criteria for Question 3(b) Table A, Writing (concision, focus, use of own words): Use the following table to give a mark out of 5 for Writing. Band 1 5 The response is well focused on the passage and the question. All points are expressed clearly, concisely and fluently, and in the candidate’s own words (where appropriate) throughout.
