Advertisements
उत्तर
The concept chart displays the listed responses to the situation when one faces setbacks. Setbacks that bring unhappiness with them can be processed in two ways – healthy and unhealthy.
It can be seen from the chart that healthy processing helps one learn from failures and let go of the emotions inside by keeping a positive attitude. Failed work can be reassessed to find the likelihood of success in future. On the contrary, unhealthy processing directs toward blocked learning or blocked feeling. Unacceptance of failure may create self-doubt and self-criticism, which can trigger more anger or depression.
It is evident from the chart that responding to setbacks negatively leads to a vicious cycle of undesirable feelings.
Notes
Guidance:
The question tests the following writing LOs:
- Convey ideas convincingly using appropriate language
- Organize the content and structure the ideas logically, sequentially, cohesively
- Use a range of vocabulary and sentence structure appropriate to the content and context
- Use of functional language to show comparison, contrast, emphasis, conclusion etc.
Award 3 marks for content -
- Topic sentence identifying the two responses to setbacks in the concept map - ½ mark
For Instance:
Setbacks often leave one with a feeling of disappointment and sometimes even worse. /The concept chart given below displays two ways to handle setbacks, for the better or for the worse/ the two ways of processing setbacks - healthy and unhealthy. - Any 2 points of contrast/ comparison with evidence - 2 marks
For instance:
Healthy processing helps one learn from and let go of the emotions inside. On the contrary, the inability to process leads to a block, self-criticism and self-doubt.
Or
An optimistic way of seeing a setback processes the ability to feel, reflect, learn and align. On the other hand, the negative perspective of a failure can lead to listlessness, diverted attention, excessive rumination and unacceptance of failures. - Concluding sentence, tied to the content of the topic sentence, showcasing a perspective/ rationalising the importance of healthy processing of setbacks encountered. - ½ mark
For instance, one might want to point to the fact that the responding to setbacks negatively leads to a vicious cycle of undesirable feelings): It is evident that experiencing a setback leads to feelings of inadequacy and incompetency along with an unwillingness to accept situations. Responding to setbacks in a positive way is empowering as it leads to success.
Note - Just listing concept map matter without evidence of analysis carries no credit.
Award 2 marks for organisation & expression -
- ½ mark -
✓ Inclusion of a single paragraph organisation with a suitable topic sentence supporting sentences and a suitable concluding sentence.
No requirement for a title (because the purpose is analysis, not publication). No penalty if the title is written. - 1 mark -

✓ full credit 1 mark to be allotted if the functional language has been used consistently
✓ partial credit ½ mark to be allotted if the functional language has been used occasionally/sparingly
✓ No credit of marks if functional language is missing (not used at all) - ½ mark -
✓ Unity of ideas in the complete paragraph with ideas arranged logically - sentences within paragraphs follow expected organizational frameworks. - Accuracy - Deduct from the overall score if the error density is high as this impacts the communicative function.

Computer Assisted Language Leaming (CALL) materials come in two main formats: CD/DVD RO Ms and Web-based. Some are tailored to the content to be used in the classrooms whereas others can be used independently. CALL materials allow you to work at your own pace.
Multimedia materials offer you the opportunity to take part in other computer-assisted activities, such as text-based gap-filling, multiple-choice and text reconstruction activities. Language teachers often develop such text-based CALL activities to accompany a particular course. CALL materials can be regularly updated.
Because CALL learning activity types are usually designed from a template, they can sometimes be repetitive.
A major advantage of CALL materials is that they offer instant feedback on your spoken or written performance. However, such feedback can be limited. If you are more interested in creating your own responses or elaborating on your ideas, you may find this type of Facebook frustrating. Web-based CALL materials can offer more variety through the use of hyperlinks, but feedback is still limited.
Just as representations of the cultures of the target language offered by courses using books; audio and videotapes can perpetuate stereotypes.

Information Transfer: Verbal to Non-verbal
Read the following paragraph and prepare a tree-digram using the information given in the paragraph.
Quite often it is your family and friends who are the only source of solace in times of tension and confusion. Whether it is the time of exams, results and admission, school issues or a misunderstanding with a dear friend, you will notice
that your family members might want you to share your worries with them. One great advantage about sharing problems with your family members is that they actually care about your happiness. Your problem will not go beyond the people whom you are confiding in and will ensure that you are relieved of the stress and worries besides being the source of practical solutions for your problems.The relief it brings is immense not just for you but also for them as they would be the happiest to see you relaxed and calm. This is what makes family bonding
special. Situations such as these can bring you closer to your siblings and make you realise that such oneness is unique and special.

Two common types of oils are animal oil and vegetable oil. Vegetable oils are extracted from different plant parts such as seeds, nuts and the flesh of fruits. They are widely used in cooking. From very ancient times they have been used in households for various reasons. The oils of certain flowers are extracted to make perfumes. Vegetable oils such as castor oil are used as medicine and as lubricants. In recent times, there have been debates on using waste vegetable oils as fuel. |
Look at the graph and the paragraph below which provides an interpretation of the data given in the graph.
Graph to show number of whales caught in Antarctic (1985-2010)
As whalers reduced catching of the large/r whales, they switched to smaller species. This is evident when we compare figures for the Antarctic catch of the larger sei whale with those for small minke whale. In 1985, fifteen times as many sei whales as minke whales were caught. By 1995, catches of both the species were virtually the same (9000). By the 2000, the situation had reversed and the number of minke whales killed more than doubled as compared to sei whales (6000). The graph shows that while the sei catch was reduced by 95% between 1985 and 2010, over the same period the minke whale catch was eight times greater. If these trends continue, the situation for the smaller species will be as bad as it used to be for the larger ones.
Discuss with a partner:
1. What expressions have been used for comparing the data? Underline them.
2. Does the analysis identify the main trends? Has any projection or guess been made based on the available data?
3. Can you spot a sentence that summarizes the data or draws a conclusion based on it?
4. Has the analysis been supported with figures from the given data?
5. Is there any unnecessary repetition?
6. How many times has the verb 'be' in its different forms been used? Some useful expressions :
|
{much ,many, far ,slightly, a little} |
more, greater,higher, less, lower, further, farther |
|
{half, twice, ten times, (etc.)} |
as { adj. adv.} as |
|
10 percent 150 percent |
{more less } than |
| almost the same ____ as | |
| as {adj adv.} as |
The graph below describes the average number of hours spent by students aged 11-15 years on two activities (per student per week) in India between 1985 and 2010 and gives projections for 2015. Study the information carefully and then write a paragraph interpreting the data. Include the following:
• A comparison of the trends in the two activities
• A comparison of the situation in 1985
• A comparison of the situation between 1985 and 2010
