WRITTEN PRODUCTION: Marking criteria


To correct a piece of writing your teacher will give you a mark (from 0 to 10) for each of the following criteria. Each parameter has the same value, that is, they are all equally important.

To pass you need to get a mark of 20 out of 40, that is, a 5 out of 10.
