SCRIPTS
Part 1 - RADIO PROGRAMMES
Example:
(Reporter) This is a very wet land where everybodys life can be devastated by too much water.
Bangladesh, a country of farms and fields and huge wide rivers and vast-spreading fertile deltas and lots of
monsoon rain.
Extract 1:
(Presenter) One thing I noticed is how green the city is. There are something like 2 million trees in the city,
thats more trees per person than any other European city. And there are dozens and dozens of parks. Like
this one, Mewsbrook park near where I live.
Extract 2:
(Weather forecaster) Rain will be widespread through out this evening becoming more scattered as the
night wears on except in Northern counties where it will be more persistent. Lowest temperatures tonight,
five to seven degrees.
Extract 3:
(Presenter) Edinburgh castle is visited every year by approximately 1 million people. If we dont count the
Tower of London, thats more people than visit any other ancient monument in the UK. Every visitor should
see the castle not only because of the historical interest of this remarkable fortress and former royal
residence but because it offers such fine panoramic views of the city.
Extract 4:
(Presenter) The results were astonishing. Almost 3,000 galaxies were seen in the image. Scientists
analysed the picture and found that the Hubble telescope had seen back to the very young universe, almost
to the actual time of the Big Bang itself. These very remote galaxies also seemed to be smaller and more
irregular than those nearby. What had been discovered by Hubble was about to change the way we look at
the universe and the way we see our own place in the cosmos.
Extract 5:
(Presenter) The Red Kangaroo powerful, comical, engaging. This is the desert-dwelling symbol of
Australia. But kangaroos can be found almost anywhere down under. Theyre up in treeson the forest
floorand can even be found on the rocks.

EJEMPLOS DE REDACCIONES CALIFICADAS Y COMENTADAS

NIVEL BSICO
TAREA:
Part 1: Write a text in between 50 and 70 words following the instructions below. (10 marks)
Your friend Anne, from Malta is coming to visit you next week. You have
arranged a weekend trip in the mountains. Write an email to her including:
your plans for the weekend

suggestion about a particular activity to do in the trip
Ejemplo 1:
La puntuacin asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redaccin es de 6 sobre 10 (3 en el apartado de

tarea y 3 en el apartado de lengua).La realizacin de la tarea es suficientemente satisfactoria. El formato, el
registro, el estilo y la extensin se adecuan a la consigna. Se observa un intento de cubrir los puntos de la
consigna de manera elaborada pero con alguna digresin que hace que requiera algo de esfuerzo por parte del
lector. El control en el uso de la lengua es suficientemente correcto para la transmisin del mensaje aunque
se observan errores de cohesin (... your visit and I have prepared...), errores gramaticales, aunque slo uno
entorpece la comunicacin ( I'm nice with your future visit...) y cierta falta de variedad (repeticin de Would
you like...).
Ejemplo 2:
La puntuacin asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redaccin es de 4 sobre 10 (2 en el apartado de

tarea y 2 en el apartado de lengua). El formato, el registro y la extensin se adecuan a la consigna pero el
contenido y el estilo no son del todo adecuados. El texto no expone el plan abierto de un fin de semana en la
montaa acompaado de alguna sugerencia, sino que se centra en una enumeracin de actividades como si
fuera un programa de una agencia, en vez de un mensaje a una amiga. A menudo se necesita una relectura
para seguir el hilo de lo que quiere decir. En cuanto al uso de la lengua, se observa un elevado nmero de
errores en el uso de estructuras (... we must go in a ..., Saturday night we should sleep in a refuge..., it must
rain...) y vocabulario (wallet mountain, refuge) que dificultan considerablemente la comprensin.
Ejemplo 3:
La puntuacin asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redaccin es de 10 sobre 10. La tarea se
lleva a cabo de manera muy satisfactoria: el formato, el registro, el estilo y la extensin se adecuan a la
consigna. Desarrolla ambos puntos de la tarea con naturalidad y de manera proporcionada. No
requiere ningn esfuerzo de comprensin. Demuestra un buen control del uso de la lengua, con
variedad de estructuras del nivel, aunque haya algn error en el uso de las formas verbales (...hope
we're going to enjoy..., ...forward to hear...), que no dificultan la comprensin del mensaje.
Part 2: Write a text in between 100 and 120 words following the instructions below. (10 marks)
You have travelled to the USA to take an English course. Your host family picked you
up at the airport and after dinner you went to your bedroom. Write an entry in your
diary describing your first impressions about:
the area
the host family
the house
Ejemplo 1:
La puntuacin asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redaccin es de 6 sobre 10 (3 en el

apartado de tarea y 3 en el apartado de lengua). Lleva a cabo la tarea de manera
suficientemente satisfactoria; aunque el formato no es correcto, el registro, el estilo y la extensin
se adecan a la consigna. Cubre todos los puntos de manera muy sencilla pero no requiere
esfuerzo de comprensin. En cuanto al uso de la lengua, la cohesin entre frases es algo
repetitiva pero correcta en general. La lengua usada no es ambiciosa pero no hay apenas
errores.
Ejemplo 2:
La puntuacin asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redaccin es de 4 sobre 10 (2 en el

apartado de tarea y 2 en el apartado de lengua). La tarea no es satisfactoria: el formato y el estilo
no se corresponden con la consigna; se ha omitido el primer punto de la misma y el ltimo
prrafo no es coherente con el contexto dado. Adems el primer prrafo es una copia de la
consigna. En cuanto al uso de la lengua, las estructuras son repetitivas, se observan una serie de
errrores bsicos que a veces interfieren en la comunicacin (..mother is boss an international
company, they had got two children...) y los errores de puntuacin dificultan la trasmisin del
mensaje.
Ejemplo 3:
La puntuacin asignada por un equipo de correctores a esta redaccin es de 10 sobre 10. La tarea se lleva a
cabo muy satisfactoriamente: el formato, el registro, el estilo y la extensin se adecuan perfectamente.
Introduce y concluye el texto de forma muy adecuada al contexto y desarrolla los puntos de manera
proporcionada. Demuestra un buen control de la lengua con un uso de vocabulario variado (block of flats,
peculiar, in her fifties, cellar), aunque haya errores puntuales (I like live here..., semi-terraced house), que no
entorpecen la comunicacin.
