INSTRUCTIONS TO MARKERS
1. Candidates are required to answer ALL the questions.
2. This memorandum has been finalised at a memorandum discussion session
at DBE at which all provinces were represented. Any omissions or queries
should be referred to Chief Markers/Analytical Moderators/Internal
Moderators at marking centres. All protocol must be followed.
3. Candidates' responses should be assessed as objectively as possible.
MARKING THE COMPREHENSION
• Because the focus is on understanding, incorrect spelling and language errors in
responses should not be penalised unless such errors change the
meaning/understanding. (Errors must still be indicated.)
• If a candidate uses words from a language other than the one being examined,
disregard those words, and if the answer still makes sense, do not penalise.
However, if a word from another language is used in a text and required in an
answer, this will be acceptable.
• For open-ended questions, no marks should be awarded for YES/NO or I
AGREE/I DISAGREE. The reason/substantiation/motivation is what should be
considered.
• When one-word answers are required and the candidate gives a whole sentence,
mark correct provided that the correct word is underlined/ highlighted.
• When two/three facts/points are required and a range is given, mark only the first
two/three.
• Accept dialectal variations.
• For multiple-choice questions, accept BOTH the letter corresponding with the
correct answer AND/OR the answer written out in full.
• NOTE: Relevant and coherent quotations from the passage are acceptable.

the text. A candidate can score 1 or 2 marks for an answer that is not
well-substantiated. (3)
1.12 Open-ended. Accept a suitable response, e.g.

The visuals convey clearly what the weather will be on each day. /The reader

example, a low temperature of 21 and the high temperature of 28 both have
the same visual without any variations. In contrast, the two days with the
same temperature of 23 degrees have visuals that vary. This can be
misleading and so, does not convey the message of the text accurately.

the text. A candidate can score 1 mark for an answer that is not well-
substantiated. (2)
