They (computers) are expensive
My marks are excellent because I can interact with the teachers
Concentrating on the screen for a long time is hard

3(b)(ii)[2]
Main Annotations
Indicative Content
Examples of the points that could be made when explaining how well the opinion supports the statement:
Use the following levels of response to award a maximum of two marks. Award 1 mark for an attempt to say how well the opinion supports the statement of Salena e.g. ‘It supports the statement quite well …’
Award 1 mark for making a reasonable link to the statement e.g ‘because it provides evidence that confirms/supports Salena’s statement about schools (being the best place to learn).’
Further guidance –Q3bi must be answered correctly to be awarded marks for this question. It is expected that responses will be very brief and not developed.
Which argument is more convincing, Ajay’s or Salena’s?
3(c)[15]
Your answer should consider both arguments and you should support your point of view with their words.
You should also consider:
the strength of their reasoning and evidence
their use of language
the different types of information used.
Main Annotations J
Indicative content
Candidates are expected to evaluate the arguments presented in Source 4 and compare their effectiveness. They should make a supported judgement with some explanation about which person has the most convincing argument.
Candidates may support their judgement by considering:
Strength of reasoning:
logic
structure
balance
claims
Use of language:
tone –emotive, exaggerated, precise
clarity
Evidence:
range of information and depth
relevance
sufficiency –sample
source –media; internet
date –how recent
different types of information –fact, opinion, value, anecdote
testimony –from experience and expert
Sources of bias
local interest
economic
personal values
experience
Likely consequences of the ideas presented
Acceptability of their values to others
how likely other people are to agree with their perspective/view The following levels of response should be used to award marks:
Level 5 (13–15 marks) Very good response
Clear, credible, and well supported points/explanation about which argument is more convincing. Coherent, structured evaluation of both arguments with clear comparison.
The response usually contains three (or more) developed evaluative points and may include some undeveloped points. Material from the sources is used as evidence to support the evaluation; clear reference to the evidence and/or arguments in the source e.g. quotation/summary of ideas.
A clear judgement is reached.
Level 4 (10–12 marks) Good response
Clear, supported points/explanation about which argument is more convincing. Evaluation of both arguments, with comparison.
The response usually contains two (or more) developed evaluative points and may include some undeveloped points. A wide range (four or more) of undeveloped but clearly appropriate points may be sufficient to enter this band at the lower level. Material from the sources is used as evidence to support the evaluation; some reference to the evidence and/or arguments in the source e.g. quotation/summary of ideas.
A judgment is reached.
Level 3 (7–9 marks) Reasonable response
Reasonable points/explanation about which argument is more convincing. Some evaluation of both arguments, with an attempt at comparison or very good evaluation of only one argument. Some judgements and evaluative points are partially supported or asserted.
Usually one (or more) developed evaluative points, possibly with some undeveloped points; three (or more) undeveloped points may be sufficient to enter this band at the lower level. Some material from the sources may be used as evidence to support the evaluation. The response may occasionally lack some clarity and by difficult to follow.
An attempt is made to give an overall judgement.
Level 2 (4–6) Basic response
Basic points about which argument is more convincing. There may be only one argument considered in any detail, with little attempt at comparison. Judgements and evaluative points are partially supported and lack clarity/relevance at times.
The response usually contains two (or more) undeveloped points.
A basic judgement may be reached
Level 1 (1–3 marks) Limited response
Limited and unsupported points about which argument is more convincing. The response considers the arguments briefly and/or tangentially. There is little clarity. Answers at this level may repeat source material with little understanding or simply agree/disagree with the arguments presented. The response may not contain any clear evaluative points.
Level 0 (0 marks)
No relevant response or creditworthy material.
Responses that give a very good evaluation of only one argument may achieve Level 3 but no higher
