Forgetting the Title: In the composition paper, if the prompt says "Write a story about a lost key," and the student writes a story with no title and no mention of a "key" until the last sentence, the mark scheme penalizes heavily for "Disregard of task."

• The writing is well-structured (clear opening, sequence of events/ideas, effective ending).
• Vocabulary and sentence variety are ambitious and precise (not repetitive).
• The purpose and audience are consistently clear (e.g., story = engaging; report = factual).
