EJEMPLOS DE REDACCIONES CALIFICADAS Y COMENTADAS NIVEL BÁSICO

TAREA: Part 1: Write a text in between 50 and 70 words following the instructions below. (10 marks)

Your friend Anne, from Malta is coming to visit you next week. You have arranged a weekend trip in the mountains. Write an email to her including:

• your plans for the weekend • suggestion about a particular activity to do in the trip

Ejemplo 1:

La puntuación asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redacción es de 6 sobre 10 (3 en el apartado de tarea y 3 en el apartado de lengua).La realización de la tarea es suficientemente satisfactoria. El formato, el registro, el estilo y la extensión se adecuan a la consigna. Se observa un intento de cubrir los puntos de la consigna de manera elaborada pero con alguna digresión que hace que requiera algo de esfuerzo por parte del lector. El control en el uso de la lengua es suficientemente correcto para la transmisión del mensaje aunque se observan errores de cohesión (... your visit and I have prepared...), errores gramaticales, aunque sólo uno entorpece la comunicación ( I'm nice with your future visit...) y cierta falta de variedad (repetición de Would you like...).

Page 17: Exam Basico In

I/NB/J/08/A

17

Ejemplo 2:

La puntuación asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redacción es de 4 sobre 10 (2 en el apartado de tarea y 2 en el apartado de lengua). El formato, el registro y la extensión se adecuan a la consigna pero el contenido y el estilo no son del todo adecuados. El texto no expone el plan abierto de un fin de semana en la montaña acompañado de alguna sugerencia, sino que se centra en una enumeración de actividades como si fuera un programa de una agencia, en vez de un mensaje a una amiga. A menudo se necesita una relectura para seguir el hilo de lo que quiere decir. En cuanto al uso de la lengua, se observa un elevado número de errores en el uso de estructuras (... we must go in a ..., Saturday night we should sleep in a refuge..., it must rain...) y vocabulario (wallet mountain, refuge) que dificultan considerablemente la comprensión. Ejemplo 3:

La puntuación asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redacción es de 10 sobre 10. La tarea se lleva a cabo de manera muy satisfactoria: el formato, el registro, el estilo y la extensión se adecuan a la consigna. Desarrolla ambos puntos de la tarea con naturalidad y de manera proporcionada. No requiere ningún esfuerzo de comprensión. Demuestra un buen control del uso de la lengua, con variedad de estructuras del nivel, aunque haya algún error en el uso de las formas verbales (...hope we're going to enjoy..., ...forward to hear...), que no dificultan la comprensión del mensaje.

Part 2: Write a text in between 100 and 120 words following the instructions below. (10 marks)

You have travelled to the USA to take an English course. Your host family picked you up at the airport and after dinner you went to your bedroom. Write an entry in your diary describing your first impressions about:

• the area • the host family • the house

Ejemplo 1:

Page 19: Exam Basico In

I/NB/J/08/A

19

La puntuación asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redacción es de 6 sobre 10 (3 en el apartado

de tarea y 3 en el apartado de lengua). Lleva a cabo la tarea de manera suficientemente satisfactoria;

aunque el formato no es correcto, el registro, el estilo y la extensión se adecúan a la consigna. Cubre

todos los puntos de manera muy sencilla pero no requiere esfuerzo de comprensión. En cuanto al uso de

la lengua, la cohesión entre frases es algo repetitiva pero correcta en general. La lengua usada no es

ambiciosa pero no hay apenas errores.

Ejemplo 2:

Page 20: Exam Basico In

I/NB/J/08/A

20

La puntuación asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redacción es de 4 sobre 10 (2 en el apartado

de tarea y 2 en el apartado de lengua). La tarea no es satisfactoria: el formato y el estilo no se

corresponden con la consigna; se ha omitido el primer punto de la misma y el último párrafo no es

coherente con el contexto dado. Además el primer párrafo es una copia de la consigna. En cuanto al uso

de la lengua, las estructuras son repetitivas, se observan una serie de errrores básicos que a veces

interfieren en la comunicación (..mother is boss an international company, they had got two children...) y

los errores de puntuación dificultan la trasmisión del mensaje.

Ejemplo 3:

Page 21: Exam Basico In

I/NB/J/08/A

21

La puntuación asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redacción es de 10 sobre 10. La tarea se lleva a cabo muy satisfactoriamente: el formato, el registro, el estilo y la extensión se adecuan perfectamente. Introduce y concluye el texto de forma muy adecuada al contexto y desarrolla los puntos de manera proporcionada. Demuestra un buen control de la lengua con un uso de vocabulario variado (block of flats, peculiar, in her fifties, cellar), aunque haya errores puntuales (I like live here..., semi-terraced house), que no entorpecen la comunicación.

SCRIPTS

RADIO PROGRAMMES Example:

(Reporter) “This is a very wet land where everybody’s life can be devastated by too much water. Bangladesh, a country of farms and fields and huge wide rivers and vast-spreading fertile deltas – and lots of monsoon rain.” Extract 1:

(Presenter) “One thing I noticed is how green the city is. There are something like 2 million trees in the city, that’s more trees per person than any other European city. And there are dozens and dozens of parks. Like this one, Mewsbrook park near where I live.” Extract 2:

(Weather forecaster) “Rain will be widespread through out this evening becoming more scattered as the night wears on except in Northern counties where it will be more persistent. Lowest temperatures tonight, five to seven degrees.” Extract 3:

(Presenter) “Edinburgh castle is visited every year by approximately 1 million people. If we don’t count the Tower of London, that’s more people than visit any other ancient monument in the UK. Every visitor should see the castle not only because of the historical interest of this remarkable fortress and former royal residence but because it offers such fine panoramic views of the city.” Extract 4:

(Presenter) “The results were astonishing. Almost 3,000 galaxies were seen in the image. Scientists analysed the picture and found that the Hubble telescope had seen back to the very young universe, almost to the actual time of the Big Bang itself. These very remote galaxies also seemed to be smaller and more irregular than those nearby. What had been discovered by Hubble was about to change the way we look at the universe and the way we see our own place in the cosmos.” Extract 5:

(Presenter) “The Red Kangaroo – powerful, comical, engaging. This is the desert-dwelling symbol of Australia. But kangaroos can be found almost anywhere down under. They’re up in trees…on the forest floor…and can even be found on the rocks.”

Peanut butter for breakfast?” replied mother. “I don’t think so. Come eat your eggs.” Peetie scrunched his face, shrugged his shoulders and put his hands on his waist. “No. Peanut butter,” insisted Peetie. “OK: Peanut butter for Peetie. At least, drink some orange juice,” pleaded mother. After breakfast, Peetie ran off to have an adventure with his favourite toys. Peetie was a quiet, smart boy of few words. Some might say Peetie was hard to please, persistent and picky possibly even persnickety. The truth is Peetie knew exactly what he liked and what he didn’t like.
