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 May/June 2019 series for most Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and some Cambridge O Level components.

0543/04 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 2 of 28 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.

Mark scheme, page 3

0543/04 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 3 of 28 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.

0543/04 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 4 of 28 1 The Standardisation Process 2 General Marking Notes 3 General Marking Principles 3.1 Crossing out: (a) If a candidate changes his / her mind over an answer and crosses out an attempt, award a mark if the final attempt is correct. (b) If a candidate crosses out an answer to a whole question but makes no second attempt at it, mark the crossed out work. 3.2 For Questions 2 and 3, if the candidate has written an answer in the space provided for that purpose, you should ignore anything written anywhere else, unless: (a) there is an indication from the candidate that other material should be considered. (b) the candidate has continued their answer outside the space provided. (c) there is no answer in the space provided. 3.3 Annotation used in the Mark Scheme: (a) tc = ‘tout court’ and means that on its own the material is not sufficient to score the mark. (b) BOD = benefit of the doubt and is used to indicate that the Examiner has considered the answer / that part of the answer and judged it to be more correct than incorrect: the benefit of the doubt is given to the candidate and the mark is awarded.

0543/04 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 5 of 28 3.4 No response and ‘0’ marks There is a NR (No Response) option in RM Assessor. Award NR (No Response): If there is nothing written at all in the answer space or If there is only a comment which does not in any way relate to the question being asked (e.g. ‘can’t do’ or ‘don’t know’) or If there is only a mark which isn’t an attempt at the question (e.g. a dash, a question mark). Award 0: If there is any attempt that earns no credit. This could, for example, include the candidate copying all or some of the question, or any working that does not earn any marks, whether crossed out or not. 3.5 Optional questions: You must mark all questions attempted by the candidate. Where a question has not been attempted then NR must be entered. (For Question 3 only, after marking the question(s) the candidate has answered, NR is populated automatically when you click on ‘Complete’.) Where the candidate attempts more than one of the alternatives in Question 3, RM Assessor will automatically only aggregate the candidate’s best result.

0543/04 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 6 of 28 Question Answer Marks Question 1 Candidates are required to list 8 items in Greek. Read all of the items that the candidate has listed and award marks as follows: (i) Select the most correct items up to a maximum of 5. Award 1 mark for each correct item up to a maximum of 5. Stop ticking once 5 items have been rewarded. (ii) On Question 1, award marks for items wherever the candidate has written them. (iii) If the candidate offers more than one word per line, award a mark for each acceptable item. (iv) The pictures provided on the question paper are only suggestions. (v) Mark for communication. Tolerate inaccuracies, provided the message is clear. Ignore any definite / indefinite article, possessive adjective, etc. Ignore any verbs. (vi) If spelling is questionable, start by referring to the detailed mark scheme. Refer to the bullet points below if no decision on the spelling you have encountered is recorded there. • ‘If in doubt, sound it out’: if you read what the candidate has written, does it sound like the correct answer? • Look-alike test: does what the candidate has written look like the correct answer, e.g. one letter missing but no other word created. • If the first part of the word is correct, small errors in what comes next are less likely to impede communication (unless they suggest another meaning). • Where letters are transposed, the word is likely to communicate (unless another word has been created). (vii) Once marking proper starts, if there are five clearly acceptable items, award marks wherever these are in the list. This approach may allow questionable versions to be ignored. (viii) Refuse all nouns which are repeated and which do not have a separate meaning. (ix) Reject misspelt words which suggest a word with a quite different meaning. Where nouns are usually plural, accept the singular and vice versa.

Read the whole answer and award marks as follows: • Communication: Award a mark out of 10, according to the instructions in 2.1. • Language: Award a mark out of 5, according to the instructions in 2.2. 2 Write to your friend about your favourite hobby. 2.1: Award a mark out of 10 for Communication (i) Place the appropriate ‘numbered’ tick as close as possible to each relevant communication point in the body of the answer. (ii) Award ticks flexibly across the tasks for each piece of relevant information conveyed, up to a maximum of 10. HOWEVER, each of the tasks must be covered to get the 10 communication marks: • If 1 of the tasks is missing, the maximum communication mark is 9. • If 2 of the tasks are missing, the maximum communication mark is 8 (and so on). (iii) Add up the ticks to give a mark out of 10 for Communication. (iv) For COMMUNICATION • Look for a verb (finite or infinitive) before awarding a mark. Lists without a verb will not score. • See Appendix II for rules on how to decide whether a verb is accurate enough to convey meaning. • For language other than verbs, use ‘rules’ in Question 1: look alike, sound alike, etc. • Misplaced adjectives, negatives and adverbs will not usually compromise communication. (v) LISTS = a maximum of 3 marks for communication: lists of 1–3 items = 1 mark; lists of 4 items = 2 marks; lists of 5–6 items = 3 marks • δουλεύω µόνο τα σαββατοκύριακα από τις 11 το πρωί µέχρι τις 5 το απόγευµα = 1 mark (1 verb = a list of 3). • δουλεύω µόνο τα σαββατοκύριακα (1), βοηθώ στην κουζίνα (1), σερβίρω τους πελάτες (1) = 3 marks (3 verbs). (vi) Only reward each piece of information once, e.g. «είναι υπέροχη δουλειά» cannot score both as description and reason for liking («είναι υπέροχη» and «η ατµόσφαιρα είναι υπέροχη» can both be rewarded). 15

Possible tenses for maximum communication marks: present tenses 94 Τι ακριβώς κάνεις κάθε φορά; REWARD: any statement giving more details about the candidate’s activity; e.g. meet with my friends in the park to play football; go to the library to borrow books; play in the school orchestra, practise in my room. Possible tenses for maximum communication marks: present tenses 95 Με ποιο άλλο χόµπι θα ασχοληθείς στο µέλλον; REWARD: any statement relating to another hobby or spare-time activity. Possible tenses for maximum communication marks: future tenses 96 και γιατί; REWARD: any statement explaining why the candidate wishes to take up this new hobby; e.g. my friends do it, I saw this on television, it might help me in my future work. Possible tenses for maximum communication marks: either present or past or future tenses

Grade descriptors for Language (Question 2) 5 Straightforward vocabulary and structure. The style of writing is basic, but reasonably coherent. Use of a limited range of verbs, generally successful. More accuracy than inaccuracy. 4 Basic vocabulary and structure. Some awareness of verb usage, but inconsistent. The writing is sufficiently accurate for meaning to be conveyed. 3 Very basic vocabulary and structure. Little awareness of verb usage (e.g. infinitives regularly used instead of finite verbs). Despite regular errors, the writing often conveys some meaning. 2 A few phrases or short sentences are accurate enough to be comprehensible. Very simple sentence structure. 1 Disjointed words or short phrases, one or two of them accurate enough to be comprehensible. 0 One or two disjointed words or short phrases may be recognisable. *Consider the whole answer when awarding mark for language.

Minor errors (adjective endings, use of prepositions etc.) are tolerated. 1 tick Communication of some meaning is achieved, but the message may be ambiguous or incomplete. 0 ticks Nothing of worth communicated. (iii) Look for a verb (finite or infinitive) before awarding a mark for communication. See Appendix II for rules on how to decide whether a verb is accurate enough to convey meaning. (iv) Add up the ticks to give a mark out of 10 for Communication.

0543/04 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 18 of 28 Question Answer Marks 3.3: Award a mark out of 12 for Other linguistic features (i) Award a mark out of 12 for Other linguistic features, according to the Grade descriptors in the table below (please see Note on using mark schemes with Grade descriptors (Appendix I)). (ii) Use the highlighter marking tool to highlight the first new use of any correct usage. Use the highlighter marking tool to underline a creditable attempt at a structure. This annotation is intended to help you arrive at an appropriate mark. Therefore, the kinds of things you highlight / underline will vary according to the quality of work, e.g. for a mark of 7/8 to be awarded the assumption is that ‘spelling of common words, genders, adjectival agreements and basic prepositions are almost always correct’ so annotation will focus on the degree of success with more complex language. (iii) Consider the extent to which the following are used correctly and appropriately when assessing the candidate’s control of structures: • Adjectives which agree with the noun. Also comparatives and superlatives. • Personal pronouns: emphatic or clitic forms (µου είπε, σε µας, τον είδαµε, etc.). Also possessive pronouns (τα δικά µας, το σχολείο τους, etc.) and demonstrative pronouns (αυτός, τέτοιος, etc.) • Negatives. • A variety of prepositions (e.g. µε, σε, για, από, etc.) • Adverbs of time (e.g. µετά, πριν, φέτος, πέρσι, κάποτε, etc.), adverbs of place (e.g. έξω, αλλού, κάπου, etc.), adverbs of manner (e.g. έτσι, όπως, µαζί, άσχηµα, δυστυχώς, ευτυχώς, etc.) and adverbs of quantity (e.g. αρκετά, λίγο, πολύ, καθόλου, etc.) • Use of conjunctions other than και (e.g. ούτε, µήτε, ή, ενώ, αλλά, όµως, δηλαδή, ωστόσο, ότι, etc.) • Subordinate clauses starting with γιατί / επειδή (conjunctions of cause), ο οποίος / για τον οποίον, όποιος, όσος (relative pronouns) . • Indirect or reported speech (είπε ότι ...) and clauses with (ε)αν. • Appropriate formal or informal register in letters / communications.

0543/04 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 23 of 28 Appendix I Note on using mark schemes with Grade descriptors It is important that you award marks positively. In order to ensure that you reward achievement rather than penalise failure or omissions, you should start at the bottom of the mark scheme and work upwards through the descriptors when awarding marks. You should adopt a ‘best fit’ approach. You must select the set of descriptors provided in the mark scheme that most closely describes the quality of the work being marked. As you work upwards through the mark scheme, you will eventually arrive at a set of descriptors that fits the candidate’s performance. When you reach this point, you should always then check the descriptors in the band above to confirm whether or not there is just enough evidence to award a mark in the higher band. For example, when marking Question 3 you may find that a candidate uses a variety of relevant vocabulary but has varied success with more complex structures. In such cases, you will need to award a mark that takes into account both the strengths and weaknesses of the piece of work. To select the most appropriate mark within each set of descriptors, use the following guidance: • If most of the descriptors fit the piece (and after you have considered the band above), award the top mark in the band. • If there is just enough evidence (and you had perhaps been considering the band below), award the lowest mark in the band. Note on irrelevant material in Question 3 In the case of an answer which is completely irrelevant to the chosen question (3(a) or 3(b) or 3(c)), a mark of 0 is given for Communication and for Language. In cases where the chosen question was clearly attempted but communication of the set tasks was not achieved (e.g. due to inadequate language control), a score of 0 is given for Communication. Language marks (for Verbs and Other Linguistic Features) are based on any phrases that do communicate meaning. Irrelevant material that has been included in an otherwise relevant answer does not score for Communication or for Verbs. Communication marks and Verb marks are awarded for the relevant parts of the answer only. The mark for Other Linguistic Features is based on the whole answer. See separate document for more detailed guidance on irrelevant material.

0543/04 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 24 of 28 Appendix II: Communication – rules on how to decide whether a verb is accurate enough to convey meaning Communication • An attempt at a verb is required for any communication mark to be awarded • For QUESTION 2, candidates score 1 or 0 marks for each piece of relevant information they communicate. For a sentence / phrase to be considered for the award of a mark for communication, the verb must meet or go beyond the criteria outlined in B • For QUESTION 3, candidates score 2, 1 or 0 marks for communicating each task. For the criteria the verb must fulfil in order for a sentence / phrase to be considered for the award of 2 marks for communication, see A below. For the criteria the verb must fulfil for a sentence / phrase to be considered for the award of 1 mark for communication, see B below. • Where a verb fits the criteria for C, the mark for communication is 0 • Although some allowances are made for faulty verbs when awarding COMMUNICATION marks (see below); in order for a verb to score a LANGUAGE tick, it must be correct • ‘Ticks’ for communication are to be placed just above the end of the qualifying sentence / phrase A QUESTION 3 ONLY: where THE VERB IS APPROPRIATE IN THE MEANING IT CONVEYS AND THE TIME FRAME IS APPROPRIATE 2 communication marks are awarded in the following cases (i) For 2 communication marks: accept a Present where a Future context is apparent του χρόνου ταξιδεύω στην Ελλάδα = 2 for communication. (ταξιδεύω receives a tick for verb) (ii) For 2 communication marks: accept the use of a Future when a Subjunctive would be correct and vice versa θέλω να πάω = θα πάω (iii) For 2 communication marks: accept a ‘phonetic version’ of the correct time frame θα περάση / θα παιράσουν τις διακοπές = 2 for communication Οι άνθρωποι σκέφτοντε / σκέψοις που = 2 for communication όταν άρχισε να πεζη = 2 for communication (όταν άρχισε να πηζη = 1 for communication – να πηζη is not phonetic) (iv) For 2 communication marks: accept the use of any past tense when a past is required, even when a different past tense would be grammatically correct or appropriate Allow Perfect, Imperfect, Pluperfect or Present Historic. Ignore inconsistency of the Perfect and Past if it occurs.

0543/04 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 26 of 28 B QUESTIONS 2 AND 3: where THE VERB IS APPROPRIATE IN THE MEANING IT CONVEYS but is flawed in the following ways, the message is partially conveyed, and 1 communication mark will be awarded: (i) The candidate has produced a correct spelling of an inappropriate form / part / tense of an appropriate verb: award 1 communication mark Task: where did you go on holiday. Candidate writes: Περνώ τις διακοπές στην Ελλάδα Θα περάσω τις διακοπές στην Ελλάδα All score 1 mark for communication In both these cases περνώ is an appropriate choice of verb in terms of meaning. The task (‘where did you go on holiday’) requires a past tense (or phonetic version of a past tense) for 2 communication marks to be awarded: these versions do not meet this requirement. However, in both these cases the candidate has produced an existing part / tense / form of what is an appropriate verb and therefore 1 communication mark is awarded. Ticks are not scored for these verbs. Task: how did you and your friends react? Candidate writes: Οι φίλοι µου είναι ευχαριστηµένοι Ήµουν λυπηµένος Έκλαιγαν All score 1 mark for communication Task: what do you want to eat for lunch. Candidate writes. Θέλω φάω τυρόπιτα = 1 for communication Θέλω = tick for verb Task: what will you do next year. Candidate writes: Πέρσι ταξιδεύω στην Ελλάδα = 1 for communication Πέρσι θα πάω στην Ελλάδα = 1 for communication Τον άλλον χρόνο πήγαινα στην πόλη = 1 for communication «ταξιδεύω« verb is not rewarded as there is no future context «θα πάω« scores 1 tick for verb as the task requires a future «πήγαινα« verb does not receive a tick Τον επόµενο χρόνο να πάω στην πόλη = 1 for communication (να πάω is an appropriate verb, (subjunctive)) Τον επόµενο χρόνο πάου στην πόλη = 0 for communication (πάου is not any part of the verb πηγαίνω).

0543/04 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 27 of 28 (ii) The candidate has produced a phonetic spelling of an inappropriate form / part / tense of an appropriate verb: award 1 communication mark Task is to say what s/he enjoyed doing on holiday. Candidate writes: Μου αρέσι το τένις = 1 for communication (phonetic version of the incorrect tense (µου αρέσει) of an appropriate verb) µου αρέσου το τένις = 0 for communication (αρέσου is not any form / part / tense of the verb αρέσω) Task is to say how s/he got home. Candidate writes: Πέρνω το λεωφορείο = 1 for communication (phonetic version of an incorrect part / tense (παίρνω) of an appropriate verb) περνού το λεωφορείο = 0 for communication (περνού is not any form / part / tense (nor a phonetic version thereof) of the verb παίρνω) (iii) The following commonly seen inappropriate usages: award 1 communication mark Accept for 1 mark ο καιρός κάνει καλός for ο καιρός είναι καλός παρακολούθησα ένα θόρυβο for άκουσα ένα θόρυβο έκανα περίπατο στο σχολείο for πήγα στο σχολείο µε τα πόδια παρακολούθησα ένα ατύχηµα for είδα ένα ατύχηµα Refuse παρακολούθησα για τη τσάντα µου for κοίταξα για τη τσάντα µου (iv) In complex sentences, consider the verb in the subordinate clause when awarding the mark for communication and reward according to the normal rules (see also A(vii)) o φίλος µου είπε ότι κτυπάει το γόνατό του = 1 for communication κτυπάει το γόνατο contains an appropriate verb in the wrong time frame which is awarded 1 mark for communication (in addition, first verb receives a tick).
