for each of the three possibilities

So really a 2 points answer will contain

  • the main view of the text? positive / negative / balanced

  • justification 1

  • (justification 2)

6

and you will only get 1 mark if:

  • yes / no

  • justification 1 is a bit off

But how do we decide if overall the text shows a positive, negative, or balanced opinion of that topic?

  • when reading through the article for the first time: put plus or minus in the margin next to each paragraph

  • at the end count up the number of + or -

  • = that should give you the outcome

ATTENTION: a justification

  • cannot be a quote

  • cannot be in French/German

  • cannot be evidence that you’ve already mentioned in the translation or question answers

  • can give a line number and explain in English

10

so really while you are reading the text, you want to:

  • highlight the sections you’ve used as answers for the questions, so you know where is left to look

  • in time emergency:

  • focus on intro + conclusion

  • & quotes from people can also be useful

one example of unbalanced view (positive here) + justifications

The writer is positive about young people travelling & in the conclusion, they mention that the next adventure is around the corner
