GENERAL PERFORMANCE

On the whole, most of the candidates attempted all 3 sections. The performance of the
candidates ranged from low to high. There were many high achievers in all three
sections. Most of the candidates were able to develop ideas competently and provide
relevant details stylistically to support their responses.

Most of the high achievers used a wide range of vocabulary, variety of sentence
structures and interesting expressions in their responses.

The average achievers managed to understand the requirement of the task for all three
sections. Errors made were due to inappropriate vocabulary, grammar and failure to
transfer the information and clues given.

The low achievers were unable to develop ideas competently due to apt vocabulary,
language and structural errors. The tasks performed by the low achievers were
confusing, distorted, messy and incoherent. They resorted to stringing with chunks of
meanings. Generally, their responses were disorganized and less developed with an
uncertain flow of language.

For Section A, candidates were able to write simple sentences based on the picture
stimuli and two words given.

For Section B, candidates were able to identify, extract and lift the information correctly
from the dialogue into the framework.

For Section C, candidates were able to fulfill the task given with some grammatical
errors. However, some could not produce a good piece of work creatively. They strung
the notes given into simple sentences as they were not able to expand the notes using
interesting expression and new vocabulary with a good flow of story-line.
