The number of lines for Question 1 should be an indication of how much they should write.  \nCandidates should:  \n• carry on trying to write as clearly as possible and make sure their handwriting is legible  \n• read the texts carefully  \n• avoid bullet points in their answers  \n• take key information from the text, in Question 1 , but try to use their own words as much as possible  \n• plan their answers, re-read at the end to avoid repetition and mistakes with agreement of gender and number  \n• look for information in both texts for Question 2 , but there is no need to keep writing ‘no texto A’, ‘no texto B’  \n• not give their own opinion (Question 2) .  \nTo do well in this paper, candidates are expected to answer Question 1 in a concise manner always relating to the information in the text but preferably without bullet points. To score high marks for Quality of Language, candidates should display a good command of the language by spelling words correctly, varying the way they start their sentences and showing a good grasp of grammatical structures. Full sentences also contribute to a higher mark.  \nIn Question 2 candidates are expected to use their own language and write their own text based on the two texts they read; they should not give their opinion. They are rewarded for their capacity to summarise the main ideas in both texts and to produce their own well-structured piece of writing. Candidates who do very well in this question always organise ideas into different paragraphs, use correct punctuation and accents, link ideas by means of a variety of connectives and use a broad range of vocabulary.  \nGeneral comments  \nDoing volunteering work, raising funds for a good cause and all the work that is involved with the ‘art of donating’ is something that we’ve all came across with at home, school or work and for that reason candidates should be familiar with the type of work that was mentioned in text A. The advantages and disadvantages of having pets as well as the benefits of adopting an animal, mentioned in text B, is also avery popular topic therefore it should not be too difficult for candidates to answer Question 2.  \nThis year there were still answers based in only one text, but many candidates referred to both texts in a balanced way to answer Question 2. Unfortunately, there were still some candidates who decided to ignore the texts and give us their own opinion.  \nQuality of Language  \nThe quality of language varied. The notion of agreement of verb with subject was still visible. Basic agreements of adjectives were also routinely ignored by some candidates. Many exams revealed an adequate expression (3 marks) . The syntax and the vocabulary were simple, and there were some technical errors, but many candidates tried to improve the quality of their answers, and some revealed more sophistication in terms of syntax and vocabulary use, and more accuracy overall (4/5 marks) . Very few exams were graded with a weak performance (2 marks), corresponding to limited expression, lack of clarity, limited vocabulary and general clumsiness.  \nComments on Specific Questions  \nSection A  \nQuestion 1  \n(a) Most candidates received two out of three marks in this question , as many were unable to identify the answer related to ‘it has value for those who give and receive.’ Common responses included‘dar algo gratuitamente’ e ‘sem ","cbCaiphUBybA8pIT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiphUBybA8pIT","pdf",240835,"English","# Key messages\n# General comments\n# Quality of Language\n# Comments on Specific Questions\n## Section A\n## Question 1 (a)\n## Question 1 (b)\n## Question 1 (c)","[{\"question\":\"What are the main expectations for candidates in Question 1 and Question 2?\",\"answer\":\"For Question 1, candidates should answer concisely using information from the text, preferably without bullet points.
