Introduction

The purpose of this pack is to provide teachers and students with some examples

of responses to AS French.

The sample assessment materials which these responses are based on can be

found on the Pearson website

In this pack, you will find a small sample of responses, an examiner commentary

and the mark scheme for each question.

The responses are all from students and we have retained their original responses

where possible. In some cases, the student scripts have been typed to ensure

that they are clear to read.

We will add to these exemplar packs throughout the year

If you have any enquiries regarding these materials or have any other questions

about the course, please contact our subject advisor team on

Candidate A:



14

Examiner mark and commentary:

The candidate addresses the question by using the bullet points provided. The essay

shows good knowledge of the film, but is a little narrative in places. There is a lot of

emphasis and detail around Driss’ flat without as much coverage on Phillippe. There is

some variation in vocabulary and sentence structure but this would need to be sustained

in order to achieve a higher mark. The penultimate paragraph also uses some incorrect

syntax.

AO4 – 9 marks

AO3 – 8 marks

Total – 17 marks

15

Candidate B:



16


The candidate responds to the question well and opens the response with a clear

introduction. They discuss the fact that the characters come from different worlds and

how they teach each other a different way of living. There is also some discussion of the

differences in family as well as the characters’ taste in music. The points of view show

some critical response and each are supported by evidence from the film. The response

loses focus on the question towards the end and there is some stilted phrasing used.

AO4 – 14 marks

AO3 – 11 marks

Total - 25 marks

17

Candidate C:


The candidate has responded to the question well and covered each of the bullet points

provided. There is a brief introduction to start the response and they then provide good

examples around the characters’ different homes and their taste in music. The response

is quite narrative in places, but there is some evidence of a critical response. The

language is a little basic and the clarity of communication is sometimes hindered.

AO4 – 15 marks

Candidate D:



20


The candidate has responded to the question well and discusses the places the

characters live and the differences in their backgrounds and taste in music. The essay is

well organised and has a clear introduction and conclusion. The use of vocabulary and

grammar is predominantly good but there are some lapses in AO3 which prevent this

response moving further up the mark scheme.
