Question 1 Report
2 My favourite season
Write 80-90 words.
A response that would score in the top band:
My favourite season is autumn. The air turns cool and the trees near my house become orange and gold, which I think is beautiful. I like it best because the heat of summer has gone and it is comfortable to walk anywhere. During autumn I usually cycle to the park after school and collect leaves for my sketchbook. I spend this time with my younger brother, because he notices small things I would miss and he makes me laugh while we walk.

Task completion (out of 12)
| Marks | Band | Descriptor |
|---|---|---|
| 10-12 | Band 5 | Every bullet is covered and developed with real detail. Ideas and opinions stay relevant throughout. The meaning is clear, and any slips in language do not interrupt the reader. |
| 7-9 | Band 4 | All or nearly all bullets are covered, most with some detail. The writing keeps to the task. The meaning is clear nearly all of the time, with occasional awkwardness. |
| 4-6 | Band 3 | Some bullets are covered, others only touched on. Detail is thin in places and the writing may drift from the task. The meaning is generally clear but the reader has to work at times. |
| 1-3 | Band 2 | Only a little of the task is attempted, with very little detail. Meaning is often unclear, though a few points can be understood. |
| 0 | Band 1 | Nothing creditable, or the response is not on the task set. |
