SECTION A: COMPREHENSION<br />
QUESTION 1: READING FOR MEANING AND UNDERSTANDING<br />
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MARKING THE COMPREHENSION<br />
2<br />
Incorrect spelling in one-word answers should be marked wrong.<br />
Incorrect spelling and language errors in longer responses should not be<br />
penalised as the focus is on understanding.<br />
For open-ended questions no marks should be awarded for YES/No or I<br />
AGREE/I DISAGREE. The reason/substantiation/ motivation is what should<br />
be considered.<br />
For TRUE/FALSE or FACT/OPINION questions, the mark should be split.<br />
Award 1 mark for TRUE/FALSE or FACT/OPINION and a mark for the<br />
reason/substantiation/motivation/quotation. No marks are awarded if no<br />
reason or substantiation is given.<br />
For questions which require quotations from the text, do not penalise<br />
candidates for omitting the quotation marks.<br />
When one-word answers are required and the candidate gives a whole<br />
sentence, mark correct provided that the correct word is<br />
underlined/highlighted.<br />
When two/three facts/points are required and a range is given, mark only the<br />
first two/three.<br />
If the candidate uses words from another language other than the one being<br />
examined, disregard those words. If the answer still makes sense, do not<br />
penalise.<br />
Accept dialectical variations.<br />
For multiple-choice questions, accept BOTH the letter corresponding with the<br />
correct answer AND the answer written out in full.<br />

Cage-diving with sharks can be the experience of a lifetime and is helping the<br />
sharks’ cause. / (2)<br />
1.2 The article is written for scuba divers, / as it states that Ferreira has dived<br />
more than most other divers. The article is taken from the magazine DIVER, /<br />
thus it supports the fact that the people referred to are divers. (2)<br />
1.3 It is the act of luring sharks closer to the cage by using fish bait or fish parts.<br />
(The act of “befriending” – chum – the animals by luring them with<br />
bait.)(Please note: the candidate must state that it is the ACT of luring sharks.<br />
Simply saying that it is fish parts or bait is wrong.) (1)
