Delta Module One, Paper 1, Task 4 : a learner's text (1)

1.4

This task requires a longer written response.
You will be given either a transcription of a learner's spoken language or a piece of authentic writing from a learner.  Your task is to analyse the language noting strengths as well as weaknesses.  You need to find four strengths and/or weaknesses.  Note the need to find strength as well.  It is not necessary to prioritise the areas you identify.
This question carries 20% of the possible marks so spend no more than 20 minutes on it. 

Here's an example learner text to analyse.  It was written by a learner at A2 level in response to a task to come up with an advertisement for an imaginary product.

decanter

The perfect Christmas Present!!!!!

This is not ordinary wine decanter!

In this one, you can set the temprature to your prefereable number and the decanter does it all!
There are not bateries or wires.  It takes solar energy of the sun and the lights of your room.  It's very cheap.

For red wine, you are setting it to 18°C and the wine will stay there for all the day.

For white wine, set to 8°C and the same happens.

You can have two on Christmas table and your guests could be sure the wine is right to the temprature they are wanting.

If you buy two you can get a free one!

The costs are €200 each one and they come to you the next day by express.

Don't delay! Buy today!  Click here to email to us your order.

Can you come up with four strengths or weaknesses?  In the examination you only need four but think of more if you can.  Don't forget to exemplify everything.

You may have thought of others.  You only have to find four but you must exemplify all of them (as above).
