The language should be formal and precise in such a way that the text reads logically. The candidate’s opinion is not rewarded here. Below is the guideline: Band 1—13–15 A very clear and precise summary Candidates make use of material efficiently and effectively, choosing relevant information accordingly—no detailed information or irrelevant information or if it has—only a very small fraction which does not interfere the summary. The text is clear and logical. Candidates do not put their opinion or view points. They understand well of what summary needs. Band 2—10–12 A substantial summary Candidate is competent, using what is relevant. The passage has clear direction with relevant information. However, they might put some detailed information which is not relevant. And as a result, the summary has some parts which might not read well. But overall, candidates have shown the potential of summary skills. Band 3—7–9 A weak summary Candidates find it difficult to select relevant information, though information and ideas are repeated. The article is appealing, but the tone of the language might not be consistent. In other words, either emotions or facts are exaggerated or didactic. And as a result, the summary can be seen as not quite convincing. It is either read like a narrative or an essay, which candidates put their opinions or points of views. Some information has lifted from the text straight away. Band 4—4–6 A very weak summary Candidates do not use information necessary for the task and can be unconvincing and/or the emotion language is put too much, although there is evidence that there is an attempt to convince the reader. Or it is read like a narrative. Or they use language to the point that it can be didactic. Or a lot of information taken out from the original texts.

Page 5 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2012 0518 02 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2012 Band 5—1–3 Limited and plain—hardly competent summary Candidates do not know how to select information—lots of irrelevant information or lots of opinions and facts from candidates themselves. Also, they do not make use of emotive language to a great effect. A rather weak article and not at all convincing. Or most of the task is taken out from the texts without writing in their own writing.

Page 6 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2012 0518 02 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2012 5 Marks for summary style (Conciseness, focus, use of own words and spelling) 5 Excellent, effective summary style throughout, focused. Structures and words are well-chosen and appropriate, in own words throughout, spelling is very good. Detail or unnecessary information is not there. 4 Generally good, effective summary style, concise and well-focused, in own words, spellings are good. Details or unnecessary information is hardly there. 3 Satisfactory, concise, although occasionally not consistent, reasonably focused and very occasional lifting from the texts, spellings are good. May contain unnecessary information. 2 Not very concise, tendency to lose focus, although the passage has been understood, fair chunk of lifting, some spelling mistakes. 1 Wrong genres: descriptive or discursive style with lots of candidates’ opinion and information, frequently unfocused, evidence of lifting is seen throughout, lots of spelling mistakes when trying to use own words.

Page 7 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2012 0518 02 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2012 Part 1: Question 2 Content and organisation: 15 Written expression: 5 Write a leaflet to promote a charity school play ‘Behind the Painting’ to your friends in order to raise some money for flooding appeal. Content (15 marks) • The purpose of a charity school play. • Why this story is being chosen as a school play. • What the story is about. • In what ways might this appeal to the audience. • Persuasion – persuade and convince reader to see the play Band 1—13–15 A confident and persuasive leaflet—a success Candidates make use of material efficiently and effectively. There is a strong element in combining facts and opinions which appeal to the reader. Factual language and emotive language are suitable and blend in nicely, not didactic. Very convincing and the reader sees the importance of promoting this issue. Band 2—10–12 Material and ideas integrated well—persuasive Candidates are competent, using what is relevant. The leaflet is interesting and developed with a good sense of direction, appealing to the reader, though they might not be able to pick up all they need. The reader feels that what is said is valid and makes sense. Band 3—7–9 Substantial piece of work Candidates make use of material substantially, though information and ideas are repeated. The leaflet is appealing, but the tone of the language might not be consistent. In other words, either emotions or facts are exaggerated or didactic. And as a result, the leaflet can be seen as not quite convincing. Band 4—4–6 Not quite balanced—not persuasive Candidates do not use information necessary for the leaflet and can be unconvincing and/or the emotive language is put too much, although there is evidence that there is an attempt to convince the reader. Or they use language to the point that it can be didactic. Band 5—1–3 Limited and plain—hardly competent and persuasive Candidates do not know how to select information—lots of irrelevant information or lots of opinions and facts from candidates themselves. Also, they do not make sure of emotive language to a great effect. A rather weak leaflet and not at all convincing.
