2 © UCLES 2010 0841/01/MS/M/J/10 English mark schemes – Achievement Test Guidelines for marking test papers These mark schemes are designed to provide you with all the information \ necessary to mark the Primary Achievement Tests. As far as possible, the mark schemes give yo\ u full guidance regarding acceptable and unacceptable alternative answers and, where appropriate, \ include examples of student work to illustrate the marking points. However, it is not alway\ s possible to predict all the alternative answers that may be produced by students and there could be \ places where the marker will have to use their professional judgement; in these cases, it is ess\ ential that such judgement be applied consistently. The guidelines below should be followed throughout ( unless the mark scheme states otherwise).  A correct answer should always be awarded full marks even if the spellin\ g or grammar is wrong.  Where more than one mark is available for a question, the mark scheme explains where each mark should be awarded.  Half marks should not be awarded and at no point should an answer be awa\ rded more than the maximum number of marks available, regardless of the quality of the \ answer.  If the student has given more than one answer, the marks can be awarded \ if all the answers given are correct. However, if correct and incorrect answers are given \ together marks should not be awarded.  If the answer line is blank but the correct answer is given elsewhere, e\ .g. within the question in the usage section, the marks can be awarded provided it is clear that th\ e student has understood the requirements of the question.  Each question and part question should be considered independently and m\ arks for one question should be allowed unless they are contradicted by working or an\ swers in another question or part question.  Any legible crossed-out work that has not been replaced can be marked; b\ ut if work has been replaced the crossed-out part should be ignored.  Where students are required to indicate the correct answer in a specific\ way, e.g. by underlining, marks should be awarded for any unambiguous indication, e.g\ . circling or ticking. Each question on the test paper has a box beside it fo r the teacher to record the mark obtained. It is advisable to use these boxes so that students, a nd others looking at the test papers, can clearly see where the marks have been awarded. Finally, it should be noted that marking in red ink and using the mark b\ oxes is an essential requirement for marking the Achievement tests. A working marksheet, together with instructions for its completion, is i\ ncluded in this mark scheme. A completed copy should be despatched with the moderation sample.

4 © UCLES 2010 0841/01/MS/M/J/10 3 This text is an explanation. Identify two features of explanatory texts. [2] 6R14 Accept any two of:  present tense  chronological/properly sequenced - the events are described in the order\ in which they occur  introductory statement  mostly factual, few opinions  gives information  title describes contents  each paragraph marks a phase in the explanation ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Accept additional features that have been taught. Award 2 marks for two features. Award 1 mark for one feature. 4 Draw lines to join these labels to the picture of the boat. [2] 6R3 Award 2 marks if all of the lines are correctly drawn.

5 © UCLES 2010 0841/01/MS/M/J/10 [Turn over 5 Re-read this sentence from the text. Once sufficient bait is obtained and stored, the fishing boats move out to sea in search of tuna. Write other words or phrases that mean the same as the underlined words.\ Your new words must make sense in the sentence. [2] 6R2 Accept words that can mean the same in this context including: sufficient : enough, ample, adequate obtained : found, caught, taken, acquired, got, gathered, collected (word must be past tense) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Award one mark for each correct word or phrase.\ 6 Would you like to be a fisherman from the Maldives? Use ideas from the text to help explain your answer. [1] 6R4 Accept any answer that uses ideas from the text. e.g.  No because I don't like getting up.  No because I don’t like fishing with fishing poles.  No because the sea can be very dangerous.  Yes because it would be fun catching fish alongside other fishermen.  Yes because I would like to learn to catch a big tuna fish. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Answers must make clear reference to ideas in the text. It is important that ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ is given before the expla\ nation. Do not accept answers which refer to general knowledge, e.g. Yes because\ the Maldives is a nice place to live. Also, do not accept answers which refer to fishing with nets (I like to\ fish with nets) as the text says they are not used.

6 © UCLES 2010 0841/01/MS/M/J/10 7 Compare these texts. The information in both texts is the same but the language used is diffe\ rent. Tick (
) the text you prefer to read. Explain why you chose that text. [1] 6R14 Accept an answer which refers explicitly to the language used, e.g.  (Ticked text 1): a reference to language as ‘informal’.  (Ticked text 2): a reference to language as ‘formal’.  (Ticked text 1): The words make it sound more exciting and interestin\ g.  (Ticked text 1): There are great verbs and chatty language.  (Ticked text 2): The language is easier so it is easier to understand\ .  (Ticked text 2): It is explained better. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: There is no mark for the first part of the question. Do not award the mark if the answer refers to the amount of information \ given - there is no distinction. The answer should refer to the style of the language. ‘It is good language’ is too vague.

7 © UCLES 2010 0841/01/MS/M/J/10 [Turn over 8 Write a summary of the second paragraph. (The paragraph begins with the\ words Fishermen in the Maldives… .) Your summary should be between 10 and 20 words long and should tell the reader what the paragraph is about. [2] 6R13 The summary must contain the information that:  the fishermen collect baitfish first / use baitfish  the fishermen’s real aim is tuna fishing  the fishermen come from the Maldives e.g.  The tuna fishermen of the Maldives start by catching baitfish.  Before they set off to catch tuna, the Maldivian fishermen go to a coral\ reef to catch baitfish.  It explains that fishermen in the Maldives use pole and line to catch tu\ na. But first they catch baitfish.  The fishermen of the Maldives use baitfish to catch tuna. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Award 2 marks for:  a summary no longer than 20 words + all the required information. Award 1 mark for:  a summary no longer than 20 words + missing one piece of information.  a summary between 20 and 30 words + all the required information. Award 0 marks for:  a summary over 30 words long.  a summary where more than one piece of information is missing.

8 © UCLES 2010 0841/01/MS/M/J/10 9 Tick (
) the best description of Tuna 'Pole Fishing’ in the Maldives. [1] 6R11
It contains mostly facts. 10 Why do you think it is important that the baitfish are kept alive until \ they are fed to the tuna? [1] 6R3 Accept an answer which recognises either of these two facts:  The fishermen need the baitfish to swim under the boat and attract the t\ una.  They need the baitfish to swim around to camouflage the hooks. Also accept:  The moving baitfish make the tuna come near the boat. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Do not accept answers that just refer to ‘swimming’ without an exp\ lanation. Do not accept answers that say the tuna will on ly eat fresh fish / do not like dead fish. Answers that say ‘to attract tuna’ are not enoug h for the mark as the baitfish could be alive or dead to do this.

[15] See table on the next page. Notes to markers  Marking should always begin from the lowest mark in each column. ie. fro\ m 1 mark and work upwards. Award 0 if 1 mark is not achieved.  All the statements should be achieved for a student to achieve the mark \ (i.e. if there are two statements to describe a mark, both statements must be achieved befo\ re the mark can be given).

10 © UCLES 2010 0841/01/MS/M/J/10 STRUCTURE AUDIENCE AND PURPOSE Text Structure Sentence structure Audience Purpose Secure use of text type that establishes content and purpose. Paragraphs are used consistently and contribute to the effectiveness of the text. Some control of complex sentences and the position of clauses to focus attention. Adverbials and expanded noun phrases are used to engage and interest the reader. The tone is appropriate to the ideas and is sustained. Effective use of different styles within the piece for giving information and for explaining. 4 4 4 Paragraphs are used to structure the text and are introduced by topic sentences. The balance of coverage of the ideas is appropriate to the purpose. Wide range of sentence constructions extend meaning intentionally. Use of expanded phrases and clauses to develop ideas. A clear and consistent relationship between writer and reader is established and controlled. The reader’s interest is engaged by adding or emphasising specific details. The explanatory purpose is established and maintained. The tone is appropriate and is largely sustained. 3 3 3 3 Introduction is developed and a conclusion may be in evidence. Ideas within each section are presented clearly. Variety of connectives including logical ( because, so) and time related ( then, afterwards ). Commas are sometimes used to mark clause divisions or items in a list. The writer gives sufficient information for a reader to understand the process or events described. Awareness of audience may be shown through some use of more formal or informal language. The explanatory text type is largely sustained. Many features of the text type are developed e.g. choice of adjectives and verbs, use of technical vocabulary. 2 2 2 2 Sustains common conventions of explanatory writing (e.g. written in the third person, present tense, see Mark Scheme Q3 for additional examples). Has an opening statement. Some attempt to vary sentence openings (e.g. pronouns). Simple sentences are grammatically correct with accurate end of sentence punctuation. The writer’s attitude to the subject is established and maintained. The reader’s interest is engaged by choice of detail or humour. There is some attempt to explain, but it is not sustained. Some expansion of noun phrases adds additional detail. Writing is an explanation. 1 1 1 1 Stop marking at the first statement in a column that the student fails t\ o achieve and award the mark in the box below.
