Descriptive questions
The purpose of these questions is to set the scene and put this
particular section of the diary in context.
This candidate describes several activities, also
usefully
commenting
on
why
they
were
undertaken.
More challenging questions
The candidate comments on the need for a more
modern promotion of the Eisteddfod and Welsh
culture to young people and the implications of
Wales being a multi cultural society.
More challenging questions
The candidate makes relevant and convincing statements
appropriate to the Advanced level.
The quality of English could have been better at this level.
Evaluate not just describe
Here the response is not adequate on the enterprise
activity because the candidate has only described and
not evaluated his/her contribution i.e. offered a
comment/s on how successful they were in an aspect of
the task and why.
Answer all parts of the question

clearly answered both parts.
In the example above the candidate has
clearly answered both parts.
Sometimes bullet points can be used effectively.
The candidate should have given more detailed examples
e.g. several members of the group were not present to collect
donations because of poor time management or we knew
regular meetings were important so we held a meeting of
the whole group every week and kept records of them so
everyone knew what to do.
Always read the
questions
carefully and do
what you are
asked.
