PAPER 2 AND VERBAL TENSES

One of the questions you need to answer to yourself before start writing your TYPE OF TEXT is:

The examiner and the markscheme will check for the USE OF THE RIGHT VERBAL TENSE: PRESENT, PAST OR FUTURE.

Here some advices that will help you to determine and use the right tense of the verbs.

EXPECTATIONS FOR PAPER 1=TEXTS HANDLING

Logo Design by FlamingText.com

understand straightforward information that is explicitly stated

skim and extract key points from straightforward texts

distinguish between key points and supporting detail in straightforward texts

understand some details of the text

understand some ideas implicit in the argument

develop ways of coping with unfamiliar language and situations

identify basic elements of genre, purpose and audience

understand the vocabulary of the instructions in examination questions

understand and use a variety of tenses, interrogative words and pronouns.

The text-handling responses are assessed according to a paper-specific markscheme. The maximum mark for paper 1 is 40. The student is assessed for his or her comprehension of the texts, not for language skills. However, if the language used by the student impairs the communication and makes the answer incomprehensible or ambiguous, no mark can be gained for that answer.
