Bagi setiap ayat yang salah, tulis satu ayat untuk membetulkannya. Ipoh (Ahad): Seorang lelaki dan dua orang wanita telah terlibat dalam satu kemalangan jalanraya yang berlaku pada pukul 11 malam semalam. Lelaki tersebut, Mohd Salleh Ali, 48, patah kakinya dan masih dirawat di hospital, sementara kedua-dua orang wanita itu, Lee Siew Lan, 18, dan Amirah Amin, 24, yang mengalami cedera ringan telah dihantar pulang. Mohd Salleh ialah pemandu teksi yang ditumpangi oleh Lee dan Amirah dan mereka sedang menuju ke Taiping apabila kereta mereka terlanggar sebuah lori dari belakang. Semasa kemalangan itu, hujan ribut. Menurut seorang jurucakap polis, kemungkinan besar Mohd Salleh tidak nampak lori yang rosak di depannya. Seorang pemandu bas serta beberapa orang penumpang telah turun dari bas mereka untuk menolong mangsa kemalangan ini. Mereka menarik mangsa kemalangan ini keluar dan menelefon ambulan serta polis. Menurut Puan Kalsum Samad, 50, ibu Amirah, anaknya sedang dalam perjalanan untuk pulang ke rumah selepas tamat pengajian di sebuah kolej di Ipoh. “Biasanya saya dan suami saya akan menjemputnya dari kolej tetapi kali ini dia kata dia akan naik teksi,” kata Puan Kalsum semasa ditemui di hospital. Isteri Mohd Salleh, Puan Junaidah Idris, berkata suaminya sepatutnya tidak bekerja pada malam itu tetapi telah dipanggil untuk bekerja sebab kekurangan pemandu. Lee Ah Bah, bapa Siew Lan berkata dia gembira anaknya tidak mendapat cedera parah dan boleh dibawa pulang.

CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2014 series 0546 FOREIGN LANGUAGE MALAY 0546/02 Paper 2 (Reading and Directed Writing), maximum raw mark 65 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. 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 will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2014 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components. PAPA CAMBRIDGE

Page 2 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2014 0546 02 © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 1 General Marking Notes 2 General Marking Principles 2.1 Please note that it is not possible to list all acceptable alternatives in the Detailed Mark Scheme provided in Section 3 You will need to consider all alternative answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’ scripts, make a decision on whether they communicate the required elements, in consultation with your Principal Examiner, and award marks accordingly. 2.2 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. 2.3 Reading tasks: more than the stipulated number of boxes ticked/crossed by the candidate: (a) If more than one attempt is visible, but the candidate has clearly indicated which attempt is his/her final answer (e.g. by crossing out other attempts or by annotating the script in some way), mark in the usual way. (b) If two attempts are visible (e.g. two boxes ticked instead of the 1 box stipulated), and neither has been crossed out/discounted by the candidate, no mark can be awarded. (c) Answers in pen do not take precedence over answers in pencil, e.g. if a candidate is asked to tick 1 box and ticks two, one in pen and the other in pencil, the mark cannot be awarded unless there is some explicit indication from the candidate as to which is his/her final answer. 2.4 Reading tasks: for questions requiring more than one element for the answer, (i) and (ii), where the answers are interchangeable: Both correct answers on line 1 and line 2 blank = 2 Both correct answers on line 1 and another, wrong answer on line 2 = 1 (or vice-versa) 2.5 Reading tasks: answers requiring the use of Malay (rather than a non-verbal response) should be marked for communication. Tolerate inaccuracies provided the message is clear. (a) ‘If in doubt, sound it out’: if you read what the candidate has written, does it sound like the correct answer? (b) Look-alike test: does what the candidate has written look like the correct answer? 2.6 Unless the Mark Scheme specifies otherwise, do not accept incorrect Malay if the word given means something else in Malay. (Incorrect Malay which constitutes a word in any language other than Malay is marked (i) on the basis of whether it is accepted or refused in the Mark Scheme and (ii) if not mentioned in the Mark Scheme, on the basis of 2.5 above).

Mark scheme, page 3

Page 3 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2014 0546 02 © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 2.7 Annotation used in the Mark Scheme: (a) INVL = Invalidation and is used when additional material included by the candidate is judged to invalidate an otherwise correct answer thus preventing him/her from scoring the mark (INV = 0) (b) IR = Irrelevant (c) HA = harmless additional material which in conjunction with the correct answer does not prevent the candidate from scoring the mark. (d) BOD = Benefit of the Doubt and is used to indicate material considered by the Examiner and judged to be more correct than incorrect: the benefit of the doubt is given to the candidate and the mark is awarded. (e) ^ = omission: used to show that the answer is not enough, there is something missing. (f) X = end of word count (for Q16 and Q25). Use this to show where the candidate reached their word count if their answer is too long. Do not mark beyond the red cross. (g) 1, 2, 3, 4 = use these in the writing exercises to show which content bullet point you are rewarding. In Q16, use 1, 2, 3 for the three separate points the candidate must cover In Q25, use 1 for asking where the campsite is, 2 for asking about the facilities, 3 for asking the price for 5 people for one night and 4 for any extra relevant points. 2.8 Extra material: Section 2, Exercise 1 In Section 2, Exercise 1, reward the candidate for being able to locate the answer in the passage. Do not worry about lifting unless this would cause the message to be seriously distorted – in which case a lift will be specifically rejected in the Mark Scheme. Ignore extra material given in an answer providing that it does not invalidate an answer.

Mark scheme, page 4

Page 4 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2014 0546 02 © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 2.9 Extra material: Section 3 In Section 3 it is the candidate’s responsibility to answer questions in such a way as to demonstrate to the Examiner that s/he has understood the texts/questions. Where candidates introduce extra, irrelevant material to an otherwise correct answer the danger is that the Examiner is being forced to ‘choose’ the correct answer and s/he cannot be certain that the candidate has shown understanding. Where the Examiner is put in this position the mark cannot be awarded. In Section 3, look for signs of genuine comprehension. Usually, candidates who lift indiscriminately fail to demonstrate comprehension and will not score the mark. However, careful lifting of the details required to answer the question does demonstrate comprehension and should be rewarded. The Detailed Mark Scheme (Section (c)) provides specific guidance but in cases not covered, the following general rules apply: (a) Extra material, mentioned in the Mark Scheme, which reinforces the correct answer or in itself constitutes an alternative correct answer: this is acceptable and is not penalised (b) Extra material which constitutes an alternative answer, but which is not explicitly mentioned in the Mark Scheme: the Examiner needs to decide, by consulting the text and the PE if necessary whether the alternative answer constitutes: (i) an alternative correct answer, in which case this falls into category (a) and the answer should be rewarded (ii) or an answer which on its own would be refused, in which case this falls into category (c) and the answer should be refused (c) Extra material which constitutes an alternative answer specifically refused in the Mark Scheme: this puts the Examiner in the position of having to ‘choose’ which is the candidate’s ‘final’ answer – the Examiner cannot be sure what the candidate has understood – and the mark cannot be awarded (d) Extra material which distorts or contradicts the correct answer: this affects communication – the Examiner cannot be sure what the candidate has understood – and the mark cannot be awarded (e) Extra material introduced by the candidate and which does not feature in the text: this affects communication – the Examiner cannot be sure what the candidate has understood – and the mark cannot be awarded. It can sometimes be difficult to draw the line between what is a deduction made by an able candidate on the basis of what they have read and pure guesswork. Therefore where an answer of this sort occurs which is not covered in the Mark Scheme, Examiners should consult their PE

Page 6 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2014 0546 02 © Cambridge International Examinations 2014 Exercise 4 – Question 16; Writing a postcard: 3 marks (communication), 2 marks (appropriateness of language) Counting Words: Ignore address, subject or date. The numbers of words is counted up to exactly 40 words (or up to the end of the sentence/full stop or end of phrase if it is an excessively long sentence). No marks are awarded thereafter, either for the COMMUNICATION or LANGUAGE. Communication: 1 mark for covering each picture/bullet point: • Write about the school building and surroundings • Write about what you like about this school • Write about your new friends in school Appropriateness of language NB: if candidates do not attempt one of the tasks they cannot score more than 1 mark for language For LANGUAGE, consider only the parts of the candidate’s work for which you award a communication mark. No mark for a completely irrelevant answer 2 For the award of 2 marks, the use of language must be mostly appropriate. Minor errors (use of affixes, use of prepositions, etc.) are tolerated. 1 There is some appropriate usage to reward. The word order may not be appropriate. 0 There are no examples of appropriate usage to reward. Where 0 marks were awarded for Communication, 0 marks are awarded for language. 1 mark for language = more inaccurate than accurate. 2 marks for language = more accurate than inaccurate. BUT REMEMBER: If one or more content points is missing or unsuccessfully answered within the 40 words, the maximum language mark is 1. [Total: 5]
