Communication ticks are awarded for opinions, reactions, actions, descriptions, etc., i.e. for any new information which allows the story to unfold. The story should be told mainly in the past tense, as clearly indicated in the rubric: Erzählen Sie, was weiterhin geschah. The historic present is not normally accepted. Of course any sentence which clearly relates to the present or to the future should be credited appropriately.

Page 4 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2009 0525 04 © UCLES 2009 LANGUAGE MARKS General Comments This positive marking scheme is intended to reward both accuracy and ambition. No marks are deducted for errors. There is no ‘impression marking’ as such; candidates are awarded a mark for General Impression based on their level of accuracy. Marking All marking should be in red. Abbreviations The following abbreviations should be written above the relevant word/phrase or in the right hand margin as applicable: INV invalid BOD benefit of the doubt IRREL irrelevant Punctuation Incorrect punctuation will be tolerated. Capitals Capitals should be used where appropriate, e.g. with nouns and NOT for ich. Repetition Rule of three, i.e. that only the first three examples of identical lexis and structure in identical circumstances will be rewarded. Accuracy In letters, ignore any address or date. Ignore also any title which the candidate has invented. No marks may be gained for these items. Preamble A maximum of five ticks may be awarded for introductory material. Irrelevant Material The essay should, in the opinion of the examiner, be a genuine attempt to answer the question. All relevant material should be accepted, even if the candidate has misinterpreted the story or parts of it. No marks may be obtained for clearly irrelevant material. Any material which is clearly irrelevant or deliberately evasive of the subject should be bracketed. Include such material in the word count, but not in the marking. Lifted Material A maximum of five ticks may be awarded in each instance for lifted material. Word Limit Count up to around 140 words, to the nearest sense group. Award no more ticks thereafter, either for Communication or Language. Marking Units A tick is awarded for a correct Marking Unit of which each element is correct. The tick is recorded over the scoring word. Start of a Letter Reward with a tick the correct use of a suitable opening in a formal or informal letter; greetings would gain a tick if used correctly in informal letters only. Letter Ending Allow a maximum of three ticks for all formal and informal ‘politesses’.
