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 October/November 2017 series for most Cambridge IGCSE®, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.

0530/41 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 2 of 30 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.

0530/41 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 3 of 30 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.

0530/41 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 4 of 30 Question Answer Marks Question 1 Candidates are required to list 8 items in Spanish. 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 (e.g. where a candidate has linked two words as in cepillo de dentífrica = 1 tick; however cepillo y dentífrica (candidate intends this as two items) = 2 ticks). (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: • pantalones, pantalones cortos: award one mark to each item • pantalones pequeños, pantalones azules: award one mark for the first pantalones (ix) Reject misspelt words which suggest a word with a quite different meaning. Where nouns are usually plural, accept the singular and vice versa.

0530/41 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 6 of 30 Question Answer Marks 2 Candidates are required to answer the question. 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. 2.1: 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 • Ella es alta y delgada y grande y nerviosa. (1 verb, therefore treat as list of 4 items: place one tick over ‘grande’ (third item in list) and another tick over ‘nerviosa’ (fourth item in list)) • Ella es alta. Es delgada. Tiene el pelo moreno. (3 verbs therefore each piece of information can score a separate communication mark)

0530/41 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 7 of 30 Question Answer Marks 2 (vi) Only reward each piece of information once, e.g. es fantástica cannot score both as description and reason for liking; es fantástica y sus clases son fantásticas can both be rewarded as fantástica(s) describes different nouns; ella me ayuda a hacer mis deberes and me ayuda todos los días can both be rewarded as they each contain a different extra detail (a hacer mis deberes and todos los días). (vii) Do not penalise factual errors. (viii) What the candidate writes may not follow the order of the tasks on the question paper – this is fine. Tick Accept 31 ¿Cuándo y con quién vas al cine? REWARD: any statement relating to when and with whom the candidate usually goes to the cinema 32 ¿Qué tipo de película prefieres ver? ¿Por qué? REWARD: any statement relating to which sort of film the candidate prefers REWARD: any reason why, even if it is not clear which sort of film the candidate prefers 33 Describe a tu actor/actriz favorito/a. REWARD: any detail describing the candidate’s favourite actor/actress 34 ¿Te gustaría ser actor/actriz en el futuro? ¿Por qué? REWARD: any statement relating to whether or not the candidate would like to be an actor/actress in the future REWARD: any reason why, even if it is not clear whether or not the candidate would like to be an actor/actress

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 Total for Communication: 10 marks Total for Language: 5 marks Total for Question 2: 15 marks

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.

También me gusta (no tick) el tenis • Me gusta (3) la natación. No me gusta (no tick) el tenis However, • Yo prefiero (3) la natación y mi hermano prefiere (3) el tenis – 2 different persons of the verb • Mi hermano prefiere (3) la natación y mi hermana prefiere (no tick) el tenis – both third person usage • Esta tarde mi amigo puede (3) jugar (3) al fútbol. En mi ciudad se puede (no tick) nadar (3) – puede is in the third person singular in both sentences, so scores the first time but not the second time 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: • Subordinate clauses, including porque and que (relative pronouns). Indirect or reported speech (dijo que, creo que). Time clauses with cuando, mientras que etc. and si (= if) • Object pronouns (me ha dicho; me lo dio) and ‘strong’ pronouns • Conjunctions other than y and linking words (e.g. sin embargo, por lo tanto, por eso) • Prepositions – Time, Place etc. • Negatives • Adverbs • Use of por and para • Adjectives, including possessives and demonstratives. Also comparatives and superlatives • Expressions of quantity • Appropriate use of politesses in the letter.

0530/41 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 24 of 30 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 the case of a deliberately evasive answer which consists entirely of irrelevant material exploited in defiance of the rubric, a score of 0 is given. This is extremely rare. A genuine attempt to answer the question which fails due to a misunderstanding of the rubric will normally lose Communication marks but will score for Language.

Candidate writes: El año pasado voy a España = 1 for communication El año pasado voy a viajar en España = 1 for communication El año que viene yo iba a España = 1 for communication El año que viene me gusto jugar al tenis = 1 for communication «voy a« verb is not rewarded as there is no future context (eg El año que viene«) and there is discordance/confusion between the verb and the time indicator that the candidate has used «voy a viajar« scores 2 ticks for verbs (voy a, viajar) as the task requires a future and, despite the use of pasado, there is no doubt about the tense of the verb and the tense of the verb agrees with the tense that is required «iba« verb does not receive a tick «me gusto« verb does not receive a tick El año que viene yo vaya al centro = 1 for communication (ir is an appropriate verb, vaya is a form of the verb ir (subjunctive)) El año que viene yo vaye al centro = 0 for communication (vaye is not any part of the verb ir)
