Edexcel AS Spanish Unit 2 Tuesday 19th May

Yay!
1) He said he felt more prepared aswell and something about starting the car.

Which 4 did you tick for question 2? Los carriles - out of curiosity

Answers were A, C, D and H. Hopefully this question also went well for you.

Ooo no, I can't remember what C, D and H were (do you?) but i definitely didn't tick A.

What made you tick that it was in the open air? I didn't understand that at all.
I actually thought they were trying to catch me out as they mentioned the centre of the a working city haha

i wrote about really basic stuff in my essay like cleaning beach and cooking for homeless, do you think I will get lower mark for lack of imagination/ higher vocab or something?

The woman talked about the speech being in a plaza, so that means it was outdoors and in open air.
C was talking about how traffic is a problem
D asked if they explained about the dates when the bike lanes would be built
H asked if the residents would be informed on how the bike lanes work

Wow, loooool oh no how embarrassing - I was lit so confused.
Got 3/4 then. Thank you for sharing what you put down by the way!

No problem, glad I could help

Sorry, last question - feel like I'm bombarding you.
Did we have to follow the particular stimulus for the essay question as i didn't really read it carefully because i was running out of time and started writing!

Markscheme (my opinion):
Q1 - listening
Kids didn't go to school previously
Different aged pupils
2 activities at once
His father can't read

Q2 - listening
reunión
dificil
nadie
iré

Q3 - listening
Talk took place outdoors
Traffic is a problem in the region
He mentioned how long it would take
It is necessary to tell residents how the new system will work

Q4 - listening
6 drivers finished ahead of him
Feels well prepared, more experienced than previously, confident, can't wait for season to begin
Mexico haven't had an F1 driver for a long time, F1 is popular in mexico
Everyone called Carlos has that nickname
His early years in F1 were difficult
Young drivers have to work hard every day

Q1 - reading
can't quite remember this one, it was about illnesses, was pretty obvious from what i remember

Q2 - reading
Either left or right foot vibrates helping to direct the person towards their destination
A bag which charges mobile phones using solar energy (there were other options for this one)
Its important to keep the technology hidden/discrete in the design of the product
USA is good for inventors because there are professionals out there solely dedicated to inventions
He gives them the opportunity to go to the USA and pitch ideas to investors (guessed the investors bit)

Q3 - reading
figure referred to unemployment amongst 25 year olds
Struggled with this one - i put qualifications help you avoid the dole and avoid social exclusion
These courses are good for young people because they can earn a salary and they get a qualification
Some companies prefer a certain course because they don't have to pay the young people a salary
Over 25s won't benefit once economy improves
Scheme introduced because it was successful in Germany
Companies need to work together so they can reap the benefits of these training schemes

I normally do well on listening and reading section, but don't put too much trust in this

How'd you guys find this exam? I found it quite easy, but that's because I'm fluent in Spanish. If you guys want to know any of the answers, feel free to ask me

What were the answers on Q1 on the reading? The one about illnesses? I think i got 10/20 on the listening

Roughly:
Flu - things have been put in place to help vulnerable people
Obesity - will cost more in the future
Fatigue - scientists don't know the causes, it can affect the mind too
Forgotten the fourth one

For the writing, does it make sense to say 'quise aportar mi granito de arena?' The phrase is 'nuestro grano' not 'mi grano' so now I'm doubting if what I put works

Thankyou! Wasn't the last one washing hands?Posted from TSR Mobile
