Could anyone who feels pretty confident with their answers (especially those who retook) put up an unofficial mark scheme? I'm trying to figure out how well I'm going to have to do in my A2 exam in a few weeks :o:

Hahaha, I am in the same boat as you. I figured that I can only drop 15 in the next paper

As far as I can remember;

1. Last season
Promote eating disorders
Bad example
Law: every size has to be the same
Confusion: not every establishment will follow the law
Conditions: low pay, little breaks, dangerous machinery
Where - outskirts of cities
What to do? Check the label before you buy

Anuncios
- Laptop
- Car insurance
- Radio channel
- TV programme
- Seguro (insurance)
- Vacation

3. Hugo and his guy
F - he had broken up with someone
N - didn't know if it was his birthday
T - met the next day
F - have moved in (I read it wrong and wrote the wrong thing :frown:

)
T - they know what they're wearing
The next one... I put N because idk
And they went on a cruise
I cannot remember the rest!

Camping;
Will open in spring
It was free
Had - two parents unemployed - disabled child
to help financially unstable people
what could they do - hike y el vuelo
How many days? I put 15 :O
They would join when they changed their facilities
To welcome disabled children for the first time

Fill in - Madruga, used Vez too in 'cada vez mas' - media productos - used ayude because it looked like the subj

Other reading was easy I think
First one was B, not sure which one... She wanted to go to another festival etc.
The only harsh one was the one about 'case o directly' I put depending on her mood

I need an A for uni, otherwise I will end up in Liverpool and I don't really want that..

Anyone know how much of an effect speaking has on overall grade? Think I need it to have any chance of getting an A

1) Fashion
last season
they give a bad example to young girls and they promote eating disorders
all sizes must be exactly the same in all shops
not all shops follow the new law
dangerous machinery, few breaks and low salaries
in neighbourhoods in the outskirts of cities
read the labels well before buying an item

2) Adverts
portátil
cadena de radio
programa de televisión
seguro de coche
compañía financiera
vacaciones

3) Something to do with phones?
mejor cobertura
guarda tu información personal
no uses tu móvil en el cine
sólo envia mensajes importantes
no uses tu móvil mientras conduces
no descargues imágenes inadecuadas
didn't use: expensive phones aren't always the best, don't talk to strangers in the street

4) Camping thing
esta primavera
nada - es gratuita
los padres deben ser en paro y el hijo debe ser minusválido
a los que lo pasan mal económicamente en este momento
una quincena
la vela y el senderismo
en zonas cantábricas
después de mejorar sus instalaciones
a los niños incapacitados

5) David and Hugo
F - not his first boyfriend, said he has just broken up with someone
N - said birthday but didn't specify it was his birthday
V - something about meeting the next day
F - they'd already moved in together
V - question was about knowing what to wear to the wedding, it said they'd already bought their suits
N? - working in the hotel
N? - I think it said there were a hundred guests at the wedding but the extract didn't say numbers, can't remember the question that well tbh
V - boats and cruises

6) Prison guy
atraco -> robo
trató de -> intentó
enorme -> tremendo
noticiar -> informar, or vice versa
think there was another one?
una solicitud de amistad en Facebook
tenía acceso a sus datos personales
lamentó sus acciones
a través de cartas y llamadas telefónicas
se van a comprometer

7) Festivals
idk these answers sorry

8) Gap fill - order is completely wrong, sorry
madrugada
lata
ayude
aumentar
recomienda
venta
convertido
vez
problemas

9) Grammar gap fill
tuvieran
conozco
descubierto
habrá
pusieron/ponían
dedicaba
demasiada
fría
ningún
vaya

It's a bit blank sorry and questions/answers might be in the wrong order, but hopefully others can contribute or something :h:

Does anyone remember Q7 or whichever reading I've missed out? It's really bugging me as I can't remember it and now I'm worried that I just skipped a page :redface:

It was the question where you had to choose which answer A,B or C was logic and made sense, the one about festivals
