Below are the suggested points given in the AQA mark scheme for the last practice paper you did. Look for good points like these when you are marking: Item 1: - The article uses facts and statistics, e.g. “40% stake” and “16 years of rejection”, to inform the reader. This helps to create an idea of the scale of Levi’s success with reference to the timescale of his efforts. This makes his achievement seem more impressive and worth reading about. Item 2: - The leaflet uses short punchy sentences that appeal to the compassion of the reader. For example, the sentences, “Finding a cure would give me back my life” and “we can’t do it without your support” are direct and persuade the reader that this is a worthy cause that will make a real difference to people’s lives. Item 3: - The language used in this extract is incredibly descriptive and evocative of the atmosphere of Oxford. Phrases like “outsized pustule” and “ill-lit drabness” contrast heavily with positive phrases like “soft golden glow” and “melt the heart”. Reading descriptions like these causes the reader to build up a mental image so that Bryson’s feelings seem vivid and justified.
