Introduction
Understanding the Rubric
WRITING TASK 1
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
The charts below give information about world spending and population.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons
where relevant.
Write at least 150 words
.
The Task
Task 1 involves reporting the data in a visual item or collection of data such as a table. You
have to:
•
Summarise the information in the visual or set of data:
▪
Select the main features
▪
Report the main features
•
Make comparisons were relevant
•
write at least 150 words
→
at least 165-170 words (sometimes even more
words are
necessary to cover the main features of more detailed diagrams)
Note:
Finish task 2 first before addressing task 1.
Task 2 has twice as many marks as task 1 and
is less flexible in terms of coherence and paragraphing, so if you do not get around to
finishing it, you may lose more marks than when you leave task 1 unfinished.
The Answer Sheet
You will receive separate answer sheets for tasks 1 and 2, and the one for task 1 has red
borders. Although you may ask for extra sheets to write your answer in, this is not likely to
become necessary since the space you are already provided with is way more than sufficient.
You must not write in the blank space at the bottom of the first page or in the scoring section at
the bottom of page two. A copy of the answer sheet is available at the end of this coursepack.
