Sample answer C
Mark: 3
This candidate clearly communicates the three parts of the message. However, there
are grammar and spelling errors which means the candidate would have scored 4.
However, the writer is penalised for not including either a salutation or a signature on
his/her postcard and therefore loses one mark and scores a 3.
I am coming on next Friday by plane. You will know right time, I
will ring up. I want to stay about 10 days and I want to visit
London but first - I would like to bee wiht you.
Sample answer D
Mark: 2
Two parts of the message are clearly communicated, but the third ('I'm going to End of
March’) requires interpretation, as does the concluding sentence. Consequently, the
candidate would score 3. However, the writer is penalised for not including a signature
on his/her postcard, and so loses a mark and scores 2.
I'm going to End of March.
I will stay for two weeks.
I'd like to go anywhere and shopping, so I looking for you!
