Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde la última vez que nos vimos, cuando viniste aquí por mi cumpleaños en junio. ¿Sabes que hemos cambiado de casa? Fue por el trabajo de mi padre: ahora tiene un puesto en el centro de Londres, que es donde tenemos que vivir. Estoy encantada - yo siempre quería vivir aquí, porque allí donde vivíamos en el campo no había nada que hacer. La desventaja es que para ir a mi nuevo instituto debo pasar horas en el metro. Sin embargo, me gusta muchísimo el teatro, y voy cada semana a ver algo diferente. Pero mira, escribo para pedirte un favor. En mi nuevo instituto sólo se estudia francés. A mí no me importa tanto porque para mí todos los idiomas son fáciles. Pero mis padres están preocupados - quieren que practique mi español. Por eso mis padres te invitan a pasar las vacaciones de agosto con nosotros. Vamos a pasar un mes entero en Escocia (mi hermano no tiene ganas de ir - dice que llueve allí todo el tiempo, pero no lo creo). Tú me hablarás en español en casa, y el resto del tiempo podrás practicar tu inglés, ¿de acuerdo? Ojalá puedas ir con nosotros – escríbeme pronto Un abrazo Helen www.theallpapers.com

Si son FALSAS, escribe una frase en español para corregirlas. Bolivia – nueva ley contra uso de animales en circos En Bolivia se ha introducido una nueva ley que prohibe el uso de animales salvajes y domésticos en circos. Es el primer país de Latinoamérica en adoptar una ley de ese tipo. Muchos países de Europa prohiben el uso de animales salvajes en espectáculos, pero en el caso de Bolivia la nueva ley incluye los animales domésticos también. Existen varias organizaciones en Europa, como la Campaña contra la Crueldad en Circos, que luchan para mejorar las condiciones de vida de los animales en los circos. Marisol Paz, líder de la Campaña, mantiene que el entrenamiento diario e intensivo de los animales es un acto de agresión. Según Marisol, en muchos circos de todos los países, los animales suelen vivir en jaulas muy pequeñas y son transportados constantemente. “Nuestros investigadores lo han filmado: en Bolivia había osos que vivían en pequeñas jaulas de apenas dos metros por dos.” Para Marisol, “Si te consideras un amante de los animales, no deberías pagar dinero para ir a estos espectáculos. Estarías financiando la violencia animal y la crueldad.” Algunos circos han decidido abandonar el uso de animales, y han encontrado que el público es cada vez más entusiasmado por sus espectáculos. Sin embargo, otros dueños de circo no están de acuerdo. Consideran que para tratar adecuadamente a los animales, basta darles de comer y beber. Además, dicen, como los animales han nacido en el circo, no conocen otra vida. www.theallpapers.com

14 0530/23/O/N/11 © UCLES 2011 Ejercicio 2 Preguntas 33– 42 Lee este artículo sobre los modelos masculinos y contesta a las preguntas en español. Los modelos masculinos más exitosos A ver, rápido, ¿a cuántos modelos masculinos puedes nombrar? ¿No se te ocurre ninguno? Bueno, no es extraño: los modelos masculinos pueden ser célebres dentro de su industria, pero no tienen fama para el público. ‘Es difícil creer que esta industria es la única del mundo en la que las mujeres ganan más dinero que los hombres’, afirma el director de la agencia Modelos Madrid. El modelo masculino más exitoso es Tomás Sánchez, que lleva menos de dos años en la industria. Sánchez es famoso por sus campañas televisivas, como las de ropa de marca italiana. Drew Lawrence es el número dos mundial, aunque lleva mucho más tiempo en la industria que Sánchez. Después de casi cinco años, mantiene su popularidad porque se ha dedicado exclusivamente a las campañas publicitarias de casas internacionales de productos cosméticos para hombres. Las oportunidades para los modelos masculinos son cada vez menores porque cada día hay menos contratos. Hace diez años, por ejemplo, los modelos masculinos salían constantemente en las revistas, algo que les estaba reservado exclusivamente a ellos. Hoy, sin embargo, si quieren ganarse la vida, los modelos tienen que competir con los famosos del mundo de la música, o del deporte. Sin embargo, el director de Modelos Madrid es más optimista: ‘El aumento de las ventas de revistas para hombres demuestra que hay cada vez más hombres que compran su ropa y buscan productos de belleza.’ Todavía hay chicos que sueñan con ser modelos. Juan Álvarez es un estudiante valenciano de diecinueve años que se siente atraído por el mundo de la moda. ‘Estoy estudiando diseño de modas y siempre me ha gustado vestirme bien. Hace dos meses, decidí presentarme en una agencia. Cuando se lo dije a mis padres, no me tomaron en serio, pero terminaron por apoyarme,’ comentó. 33 ¿Según el texto, quién no suele conocer a los modelos masculinos’? … [1] 34 ¿Qué es lo curioso de la industria de moda? … [1] www.theallpapers.com

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2011 question paper for the guidance of teachers 0530 SPANISH (FOREIGN LANGUAGE) 0530/23 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 must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the examination. • Cambridge will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2011 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses. www.theallpapers.com

Page 2 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – October/November 2011 0530 23 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2011 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 Team Leader if necessary (or with your Product Manager if you are a single Examiner), and award marks accordingly. The following marking principles underpin the detailed instructions provided in Section 3 of the Mark Scheme. Where a decision is taken to deviate from these principles for a particular question, this will be specified in the Mark Scheme. 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) In questions where candidates are required to tick a number of boxes (e.g. tick the 6 true statements) the general rule to be applied is as follows: the number of 'extra' answers indicated by the candidate is deducted from the number of correct answers and the remaining number is the mark awarded, e.g. the candidate is required to tick 6 true statements, but instead ticks 8 statements. 5 of the 6 ticks are correctly placed, but 2 of the ticks are 'extras' (8 ticks placed by candidate minus 6 ticks required by rubric = 2). Therefore the candidate is awarded a mark of 3 5number of correct ticks –2 minus number of extra ticks = 3 (d) 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, but another answer on line 2 wrong = 1 (or vice-versa) www.theallpapers.com

Mark scheme, page 3

Page 3 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – October/November 2011 0530 23 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2011 2.5 Reading tasks: answers requiring the use of Spanish (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? (c) Accept incorrect gender or person unless Mark Scheme specifies otherwise. (d) Accept incorrect possessive adjectives e.g. mi, tu, su etc., unless Mark Scheme specifies otherwise (in general, Section 2 accept, Section 3 consult Mark Scheme carefully). 2.6 Unless the Mark Scheme specifies otherwise, do not accept incorrect Spanish if the word given means something else in Spanish. (Incorrect which constitutes a word in any language other than Spanish 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). 2.7 Annotation used in the Mark Scheme: (a) INV = 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) tc = ‘tout court’ and means that on its own the material is not sufficient to score the mark. (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. 2.8 No response and '0' marks There is a NR (NO Response) option in scoris. 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. 2.9 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 general, incorrect possessives should not be judged to cause distortion: see 2.5(d)) – 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. www.theallpapers.com

Mark scheme, page 4

Page 4 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – October/November 2011 0530 23 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2011 2.10 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 Team Leader 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 Team Leader www.theallpapers.com

Communication REFUSE (a) lo que haces ahora Salgo en mi bicicleta (b) lo que quieres comprar Quiero comprar un periódico papel (c) cuándo vas a ver a tu amigo Te veo a las 1800 Appropriateness of language 2 For the award of 2 marks, 2 verbs must be in appropriate tenses. Minor errors (adjective endings, use of prepositions etc.) are tolerated. 1 There is some appropriate usage to reward. For the award of 1 mark, 1 verb must be in an appropriate tense. 0 There are no examples of appropriate usage to reward. Where 0 marks were awarded for Communication, 0 marks are awarded for language. When marking for Language, consider only the parts of the candidate's work for which you are awarding a communication mark. NB: if candidates do not attempt one of the tasks they cannot score more than 1 mark for language. [Total 5 marks] www.theallpapers.com

Tolerate inaccuracies provided the message is clear. • At this stage (Section 3) we are looking for signs of genuine comprehension. As a general rule, candidates who lift indiscriminately fail to demonstrate comprehension and will not score the mark. However, careful lifting of just the required details does demonstrate comprehension and should be rewarded. See detailed mark scheme for guidance. • In general, do not accept incorrect Spanish if the word given means something else in Spanish. If the candidate has written an answer in the space provided for that purpose, you should ignore anything written anywhere else, unless: (i) there is an indication from the candidate that other material should be considered (ii) the candidate has continued their answer outside the space provided, there is no answer in the space provided. Exercise 1 Questions 27–32 1 Mark per question for True or False + 1 Mark for correcting False statement (27, 29, 30, 32) Please read SECTION 1: GENERAL MARKING PRINCIPLES (esp 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.10) (a) True/False element: all 6 statements appear on screen. Enter marks as appropriate for correct identification of each statement as True or False. • If neither True nor False is 'ticked' for a question, enter N/R (no response). • If both True and False are 'ticked' (and there is no clarification of candidate's 'final' answer), enter 0. (b) Justification for False statements: only the 4 False statements appear on screen. • If True is 'ticked', award 0 (ignore any justification) • If True and False are both 'ticked' (and there is no clarification of candidate's 'final' answer), award 0 (ignore any justification) • If False is 'ticked', mark justification and enter mark.
