Q3

AO1: The response has good coverage of the data, making some sensible observations about a

number of features. The focus on lexis/semantics is relevant and the student structures the response

around key ideas such as these. Grammar, too, is covered but in an interesting angle of the text as

from a ‘media’ source.

Mark: 18
