Student Examples Based on the mark scheme, what level would you give each example? Why is Student B’s response better? Student A The boys in Source A enjoys simple activities that involve getting attention from adults. He is described as being silly. He is very small so the activities he does are silly things that annoy his parents. The boy in Source B is also quite noisy but he has more toys like ‘drums’ to make more noise. Student B Both sources describe the feelings and emotions that a parent experiences when their child is growing up, through describing the various activities they liked to do. The boy in Source A enjoys making a noise, exploring the sound effect of his own voice as he ‘barks gibberish in the middle of the room. ’ His noisy outburst takes all his energy as ‘he throws his entire body into it’ showing how, at this self-centred stage of development, he just wants to express himself and attract attention. In contrast, the Victorian boy makes his own noise with ‘a hearty shout’ but has also been given purpose-built musical toys such as ‘drums and tin trumpets’. He is at a different stage of maturity and needs more stimulation to develop his creativity.

Example response Source A and source B both consider perspectives on animal testing but there are some considerable differences. Source A presents a positive attitude towards animal testing as it suggests that ‘it is the best way of finding out what causes disease’. The writer assures the reader that animal testing is essential in ensuring ‘whether new treatments will be safe an effective’. The writer places a real emphasis on the importance of animals in the process of finding cures for diseases, therefore strengthening their belief in the practice. On the other hand source B has a very negative attitude towards animal testing due to the idea that ‘what applies to mice, dogs, monkeys or rabbits may not necessarily apply to humans’. This creates a sceptical view of animal testing. Th writer also says very clearly that ‘ cruelty is barbarism’ which cements the writer’s negative view of animal testing.
