Example

of

an

excellent

answer

The

candidate approached

this

question

in an ideal manner The

candidate focused

on the

kevords in

the question telesision

mainly

entertainment

and took

a

stand

and

supported with facts

and illustrations

tthe same time the candidate

showed balance

by

demonstrating the

limitations

of the

statement An excellent

essay

presents both sides

of

an argument and the

candidate

made

it

clear

why

the

particular

stand

was

chosen

The structure

of the

essay

was appropriate: Introduction

Body

and

Conclusion The

language

was

clear

generally

accurate

and

sophisticated

There

was

a

good use

of

idiom

varying

structures and a

wide

range

of vocabulary

Specific Comments

From

the outset the candidate used facts

to

support

the argument referring

to statistics

from

the

United Nations

The

candidate

drew

international and regional references

The

thesis

statement

was

clear

in the introduction

so

that

the

reader

knew what

would

be illustrated in the

remainder

of

the

essay

In

the first paragraph

the

candidate supported

the

thesis

statement

by going into detail about

the

ways

in

which television

could in essence be considered a source

of

entertainment

The

candidate

used

different

categories

to

prove

the point television

was

entertainment

for adults and youngsters

there

were

different types of channels

and broadcasts to

appeal

to

a

variety of

tastes

In

the second paragraph

while

strengthening

the

argument

in

favour

of

television

as

a

source of

entertainment the

candidate also considered

that

television

certainly had other roles

to play

such

as an

educational

one

In

the

penultimate paragraph

the

candidate rounded

off

the

argument

very

effectively

by

stating that

entertainment

as

the

main

function

of

television

had

been

combined

with education

and the

diffusion

and

understanding

of

other

cultures

This

last point

was neatly

restated

in the

conclusion

and a brief

statement was made

to

endorse

the

importance

of

television

in

entertainment

and

education

The essay was

linguistically

sound

with

a

few errors

of spelling

and

agreement in gender

and number

Appropriate vocabulary was used for

example

cifras

disponibilidad diversi7Icacidn

emisiones

canales estimular

promo

cer

The candidate

also demonstrated

a

familiarity with the

structure

of

the

Spanish language and

incorporated

noteworthy expressions

and

idioms

such

as

deinitivarnente

es

evidente que

es

imporrante

norar

and

cahe destacar Another

\ery

important

feature of

this

essay

was

the

use of connectors to facilitate

the smooth flow

of

the

argument

for

example Poreso

Ademds and En conclusion

The

essay

could

ha\e

been

improved h

a

wider

and

richer

range

of

vocabulary

and

a demonstration

of

mastery

of

more complex

and sophisticated structures such

as

the

future tense and the conditional

and

subjunctise

mood

Overall

this was

an excellent

esca

both

in content and form
