MOCK 1 – General Comments Task 3 - Remember to to include features mentioned in the example. - Focus on the task and include language features that are true to this task only, and not to any task in general. - Use appropriate terminology (e.g. do not call functional exponents lexis) Task 4 - Do not forget to include an example of each feature you analyse - Do not analyse more than four aspects (two weaknesses and two strengths, or three weaknesses and one strength, or one weakness and three stremgths). - Use clear bullet points – but not be laconic. - Think of the piece of writing as a whole rather than parts of it only. Task 5a - Include features of this genre in general, not of the text only. - When referring to lexical sets, be specific (e.g. lexis to talk about car insurance). - When referring to style, be specific (e.g. humorous and friendly). Saying that the style is ‘informal’ or ‘semi-formal’ is too broad. - When referring to paragraphing, mention the general purpose of the paragraphs. - Use specific words to talk about parts of the text, e.g. do not call a heading a title. - Always include an example. Task 5b - Use a new bullet point for each piece of information. - Use clearly organized columns. - Remember to do what the task asks you to do – if you are asked to talk about form, do not talk about meaning and vice-versa. - Revise parts of speech (conjunctions, prepositions, kinds of pronouns). - Revise text reference (anaphora and cataphora). Task 5c - Use a new bullet point for each piece of information. - Use clearly organized columns. - Write as many bullet points as you can, even if they look repetitive. - Analyse the boldfaced item only – not the co-textual language. - Do not abbreviate your answers. - Use correct terminology (e.g. present participle instead of –ing). - Give complete answers (e.g present perfect simple, not simple present perfect).
