A level Russian, Paper 2 (writing)

This task is a points-based mark scheme in which 1 mark is given for each correct individual section of language. 

Soft signs: non-grammatical soft sign errors are tolerated, for example толко rather than только, unless they cause ambiguity (for example купит rather than купить).

Spelling: non-grammatical misspellings are tolerated, for example расказать rather than рассказать, as long as they are not ambiguous (for example тошно rather than точно) or in the wrong language.

Verb endings must be correct and will not be classed as spelling errors.

Adjective and noun endings must be correct and will not be classed as spelling errors.

Your essays will be marked using three areas:

- critical and analytical response

- range of grammatical structures and vocabulary

- accuracy of language

This mark grid assesses your ability to use a range of grammatical structures and vocabulary in order to produce articulate written communication with a range of expression.

This grid will be applied twice, once for each essay individually
