Mark scheme: 1 Candidates are required to complete 5 gaps in Italian. Read all of the items that the candidate has listed and award marks as follows:  Award 1 mark for each correct item.  In Question 1, award marks for items wherever the candidate has written them provided the candidate has made clear which part of the form they refer to.  Mark for communication. Tolerate inaccuracies, provided the message is clear. Ignore any definite/indefinite article, possessive adjective, etc. Ignore any verbs.  If spelling is inaccurate, start by referring to the table below. Refer to the questions below if no decision on the spelling you have encountered is recorded there. If you read aloud what the candidate has written, does it sound like the correct answer and would a native speaker of Italian understand it? Does what the candidate has written look like the correct answer, e.g. one letter missing but no other word created? Would a native speaker of Italian understand it?  Reject misspelt words which suggest a word with a quite different meaning. Where nouns are usually plural, accept the singular and vice versa.  All answers must fulfil the communicative purpose described in the rubric. 5 Question Answer Marks 1 Sei Andrea Spazzi e devi inserire le informazioni per un servizio fotografico.
