Test 2 answer key

Part 6
Sample answer A

Hello Chris, the party it will be at my house, at half past seven p.m., you
need to wear a green T-shirt, a pair of red trousers and a white hat.

Commentary and mark
A very good attempt at the task. The content of the message is Content 5
relevant to the task and all three parts of the message are clearly
Organisation 4
communicated. The text is connected using a limited number of basic
Language 5
linking words and cohesive devices (it, and). Simple grammatical forms
are used with good control (will be at, at half past seven), although Total 14
some language is taken from the task (you need to wear). Everyday
vocabulary is used appropriately (green T-shirt, pair of red trousers,
white hat). There are very few errors (the party it).

Sample answer B

The party start at nine o’clock. The party is in my home, my house is in
CoRe street twenty-nine opposite the church. You need to wear at haff-
past eight.

Commentary and mark

A satisfactory attempt at the task. The first two content points in the
Content 3
task are addressed. However, the third point may have been
Organisation 2
misinterpreted, so the reader is only on the whole informed. The text is
Language 3
organised mainly through the use of punctuation and a limited number
of cohesive devices. The candidate has used some basic relevant Total 8
vocabulary (home, house, church), and some simple grammatical
forms are used with some degree of control (at nine o’clock, is in).
Errors may impede meaning (CoRe street, to wear at haff-past eight).
