I agree with most of that. The first animals question was the baby animals in cages in the market. I can't remember the answer though. Regards the storm, I think it said something about the shops being "medio vacíos" - half empty, rather than closed.

For the storm question, I put the gardens flooded or something, there was a traffic jam & I can't remember the last one but it wasn't overcrowded bars or closed down supermarkets.

Pretty sure for the question about caged animals on the market, I wrote something along the lines of 'they should be free/in the wild'. Anyone else get that?

I can't find any unofficial mark scheme's at all :frown:

Here's what I can recall writing I have no clue about whether it's right or not it is most probably all wrong:

1. d. positive

2. a. something about nutritional advice
b. physiotherapy
c. something like flexibility+movement classes

I don't remember the exact question order after this.

c.) i actually didn't get this but googled it as soon as i went home - 'de lujo' means deluxe, so the most significant thing about the products is that they're deluxe or good quality.
d.)Negative
e.)She would donate the money to charity

For the animals question:
a.) don't remember the question damn :frown:

b.) Bullfighting is not pleasant for both humans nor the animals (I think)
c.) it will teach the child to respect animals (I think)
d.) they can close down zoos (I think)

What did people get for the last question? The one about the storm? I put that the supermarkets were closing down early (B I think) and I recall writing C and F (I think). I originally wrote D (overcrowded bars) but crossed out and it will kms if this turns out to be the right answer.

I disagree with the shops closed early but agree with c and f - I put C and E and f. Also I put P+N for overall effect on school because he said You would be mistaken if you believe I was completely satisfied showing he had mixed ciews

I similar to that, but c and d were the other way round. I thought that last one was suerte but no one has agreed with me yet so take this with a pinch of salt.

I thought the reading was fine but the listening was harder. A lot of people in my school found it hard both foundation and higher so maybe the grade boundaries will be low...

Ah damn I lost one mark I did get power cuts and traffic jam but didn't know what to write for the last one so I think I just guessed. I remember I read something about flooding in public gardens but I thought that was the examiner trying to throw me off as it didn't mention the normal word for parks lmao. Anyway corrected tht bit of the markscheme now.

Everyone I talk to has mixed answers for this, lugar and miedo are definitely the first two. For the last two I put sueno and calor but they're probably wrong so if anyone knows for sure please do correct me
