Candidates may also talk about delivery e.g. ‘the speeches were very long and would have to have been delivered well to have worked so he must have been a good actor/speaker’. Candidates may demonstrate wider reading e.g. ‘because he studied rhetoric in Athens and Rhodes for two years’ (See Introducing Cicero page X). ‘because he relates his speeches to real life, e.g.…’ ‘because he makes his speeches funny, e.g.…’ A candidate can get full marks without referring to things outside the text but all correct points will be credited.
