OCR qualifications include AS/A Levels, Diplomas, GCSEs, Cambridge Nationals, Cambridge Technicals, Functional Skills, Key Skills, Entry Level qualifications, NVQs and vocational qualifications in areas such as IT, business, languages, teaching/training, administration and secretarial skills. It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and the needs of students and teachers. OCR is a not-for-profit organisation; any surplus made is invested back into the establishment to help towards the development of qualifications and support, which keep pace with the changing needs of today’s society. This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which marks were awarded by examiners. It does not indicate the details of the discussions which took place at an examiners’ meeting before marking commenced. All examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and the report on the examination. © OCR 2020F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 2 Annotations Annotations used in the detailed Mark Scheme (to include abbreviations and subject-specific conventions) Subject specific - insert details in table making sure that the annotation matches the image that appears on scoris®. Your Chair of Examiners will be able to help. Annotation Meaning of annotation Correct answer. Incorrect answer. Unclear word or sentence. Omission of word or point. Good language. Odd or incorrect grammar. Inaccurate language. Lifted material. Irrelevant point or detail. Benefit of doubt. Benefit of doubt not given. Invalid answer. RepetitionF887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 3 1. Subject-specific marking instructions • You should print out a copy of the paper and work through it yourself (using the transcript for the Listening activities which you can find at the end of the Mark Scheme, if the audio version is not available on the portal). You will need a copy of the written texts to refer to during the marking process in order to spot excessive lifting in tasks 7 and 8. The texts will not appear automatically on your marking screen. • The award of marks is not necessarily dependent on the specific wording in the detailed sheets which follow. Other wordings will score the marks, provided they are semantically equivalent. If the language used by the candidate conveys meaning and also answers the question, then the mark(s) should normally be credited for comprehension (c.f. “sympathetic native speaker/sympathetic examiner”). Use your professional judgement to apply the marking principles given in this mark scheme but if you are still in doubt about the validity of any answer, then consult your Team Leader by phone, the messaging system within scoris or email. • Language marks: These are assessed separately – Grids C.2 and F.2 – see guidance in the detailed sheets below. • Where candidates give alternative answers, only the first one written or the one on the line should be marked.F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 4 SECTION A: LISTENING AND WRITING TASK 1: UMA FAMÍLIA PORTUGUESA Question Answer / Indicative Content Mark Guidance 1 (a) C 1 Multi-choice Marks entered individually.

Crosses (✕) may also be used as they make checking easier. • For questions worth more than one mark you must use ticks (✓) and crosses (✕). Use or NBOD when you have had to think and decided to award or not to award the mark. Also use a cross (✕) when a word in the response invalidates an otherwise acceptable answer. • You may also use the highlighter tool to show harmless additions. • Answers in Portuguese get no marks. • Ignore spelling mistakes in English as long as the answer is clearly recognisable and unambiguous. Question Answer Marks Guidance Accept Do not accept 3 (a) Jacinto is the founder [1] and Formiga coordinates the constructions [1] 2 Note: Each person’s role must be mentioned separately. (b) They are friends. 1 (c) (Sustainable) agriculture. 1 (d) Workers live and work on the farm. 1 (e) 10 – area for the campsite [1] 300 – people they can accommodate / people capacity [1] 8 – (new) structures being built [1] 3 buildings Note: for ‘300’, there must be a reference in the answer to people – ‘capacity’ alone is not sufficient. (f) (Camping with) tents [1] (two) dormitories [1] (five) family huts [1] 3 bungalowsF887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 7 Question Answer Marks Guidance Accept Do not accept (g) They use natural materials [1] in a specific way [1] and the walls are very thick [1] 3 Allow ‘density’ as an alternative for conveying the sense of ‘thickness’. (h) Any 1 of the following: They have been asked to produce other buildings or they have been asked to give training 1 … give information Total 15F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 8 TASK 4 10 marks for Communication (Grid H1), 10 marks for Quality of Language (QoL) Task Specific Guidance • The candidate response will be scanned in twice. The marks for Communication are awarded the first time. The second image is for you to assess the QoL. • Communication: This is a transfer of meaning exercise, not a word-for-word translation, so there may be several ways of putting the points across. Key elements of the points are underlined in the mark scheme. For communication / content, assess as a “sympathetic native speaker / sympathetic examiner” and give credit accordingly. Annotations: • In the margin, use a tick (✓) to show that a point has been fully and successfully conveyed • If an element of the point has been omitted, use the caret sign ( ). • Use BOD with the tick (BOD ✓), if you had some doubt about awarding the point but decided to in the end. • Use NBOD if you considered awarding the point but decided not to in the end. • If a full point has been omitted, is incorrectly rendered or is rendered in a way that would be incomprehensible, use a cross (✕) in the margin. • Use a cross (✕) when a word in the response invalidates an otherwise acceptable answer. • The annotations will give a global impression to help you apply Grid H.1 accurately and consistently. • Grid H.1: The ticks will show the number of points successfully conveyed. These will normally correspond with the marks you award. • If you have used BOD or NBOD you may adjust the marks up or down. GRID H.1 COMMUNICATION 10 marks AO2 9–10 Most or all of the information successfully conveyed. 7–8 Three quarters of the points conveyed. 5–6 Half of the information successfully conveyed. 3–4 Only a quarter of the points conveyed. 0–2 Very little or no information conveyed.F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 9 Task 4: Communication points Question/ points Answer Marks Accept Guidance Do not accept 4 1 (Eu) gostaria de trazer um grupo de pessoas para o vosso acampamento. 1 parque de campismo 2 A nossa empresa/companhia adquiriu uma quinta 1 comprou 3 e planeamos começar um projeto rural. 1 4 Queremos ver as vossas técnicas de construção natural, 1 5 pois vamos construir alojamento turístico. 1 6 A ideia é aprender com a vossa experiência 1 7 sobre os materiais e como usá-los. 1 8 Também, o que foi mais difícil de encontrar localmente? 1 9 Foram precisas algumas licenças especiais? 1 use of present tense 10 Estamos desejosos de conhecer a vossa equipa. 1 Total 10F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 10 QoL: Read response again and assess for language. • Annotations: do not annotate. • Grid C.2: Key words have been highlighted in the Grid. Remember that this grid is also used to assess accuracy at A2. At AS level, one year beyond GCSE, the only complexity of language that is expected is that required by the task. Identify the band which best matches the performance. If you identified the band without hesitation you must award the higher of the two marks. GRID C.2 QUALITY OF LANGUAGE – ACCURACY 10 marks AO3 9–10 Characterised by a high and consistent level of accuracy in use of complex structures, although there may be some errors. 7–8 Language generally accurate. Shows a sound grasp of AS and/or A2 structures, as appropriate. Generally correct use of complex structures. Tenses and agreements good, although there may be some inconsistency and errors in more complex areas. 5–6 Shows evidence of fair understanding of grammatical usage. Generally accurate use of simple sentence structures. Some correct use of complex sentence structures. The performance is likely to be patchy and inconsistent. 3–4 Evidence of gaps in basic grammar. Frequent errors of an elementary kind (endings, verb forms, gender of common nouns, adjectival agreements) but evidence of correct use of simple sentence structures. Vocabulary and structures may be quite strongly influenced by the candidate’s first language. 0–2 Little evidence of grammatical awareness. Persistent, serious and elementary errors (endings, verb forms, gender of common nouns). Frequent first language interference.F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 11 Question/ points Indicative content Marks Content Guidance Levels of response 4 QL 1 (Eu) gostaria de trazer um grupo de pessoas para o vosso acampamento.

The text will not appear on the screen. • Go through all the responses and assess every question for comprehension. a. Marks are awarded on a point-by-point basis, according to the mark scheme. b. Minimal (additional) irrelevance can be ignored BUT mindless copying (often long chunks) results in no marks for comprehension or QoL c. For comprehension / content, remember that you are a “sympathetic native speaker / sympathetic examiner”. If language interferes slightly but it is clear that the candidate has understood, give the mark for content / comprehension (unless there is ambiguity or it is gibberish). Limited ability to use language will be reflected in the mark awarded under grid C2. If appropriate, candidates may answer with single words / short phrases. Annotations: • Award 1, 0 or NR without annotation. • Use a tick () to indicate a mark awarded on any question where the answer is more than one mark. • Use a cross (x) when a word in the response invalidates an otherwise acceptable answer. Use a caret sign ( ) to show that part of the answer has not been given. • Even if the answer is lifted verbatim from the text, as long as it is a direct answer, award the comprehension mark but mark the text with and exclude from Quality of Language assessment. • Use for an invalid answer.F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 15 Question Comprehension points Marks Guidance Accept Do not accept 7 (a) Porque traz tempo fresco ou faz menos calor. 1 (b) O rio transborda [1] as famílias de áreas rurais ficam isoladas [1] e os alunos faltam às aulas [1] 3 (c) (Há) três anos [1] 1 (d) Todos (os níveis do ensino obrigatório) [1] 1 Todos os anos (e) A frequência das interações [1] e a qualidade das interações [1] 2 (f) A reunião semestral [1] 1 (g) Cinco [1] 1 (h) Do percurso individual dos alunos [1] e de temas educativos gerais [1] 2 (i) Any 3 of the following: Atividades educativas objetivos pedagógicos datas (de início e fim) dos semestres e (datas) de futuras reuniões 3F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 16 Question Comprehension points Marks Guidance Accept Do not accept (j) No folheto (informativo) [1] 1 (k) Com projetos curriculares específicos [1] e com o aumento da carga horária [1] 2 (l) O barulho é aceitável [1] desde que tenha um objetivo pedagógico [1] 2 Total 20 GRID C.2 QUALITY OF LANGUAGE – ACCURACY 10 marks AO3 9–10 Characterised by a high and consistent level of accuracy in use of complex structures, although there may be some errors. 7–8 Language generally accurate.

Frequent first language interference.F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 17 TASK 8: PROFISSÃO: BLOGGER Task specific guidance Have a copy of the text to hand and familiarize yourself with it, so that you can easily spot instances of lifting from the original. Only the candidates’ work will appear on the screen. You will have three successive screens 8a, 8b and then 8a + 8b again, but without the annotations in order to assess QoL. Task 8a Comprehension. Grid I [10 marks] a. Annotations: • In the body of text, use a green tick  to show that a point from the mark scheme below has been fully and successfully conveyed. • If an element of the point has been omitted, use the caret sign (λ). • If a point has been omitted, is incorrectly rendered or is rendered in a way that would be incomprehensible, use no annotation. Word limit: 25% tolerance The annotations will give a global impression to help you apply Grid I accurately and consistently. b. Grid I: Looking at the annotations, assess what proportion of the points has been conveyed and apply Grid I. Enter your mark. c. Copying / lifting: If chunks of the text are simply copied, award marks for comprehension but there is a limit of 3-4 marks for (a) if the entire answer is lifted (see Grid I). Verbatim copying of the stimulus text results in no marks. Use the highlighting tool to show lifted language. Only phrases of 5 words or more should be counted as lifted language.F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 18 Question/ points Indicative content Marks Content Guidance Levels of response 8 a 1 Partilhar regularmente informação pessoal está na moda Grid I COMPREHENSION OF TEXT 9-10 Consistently relevant information. Includes nearly all the points from the original passage. Shows a very clear understanding of the text. 7-8 Relevant information showing understanding of up to two third of the points from the original passage. There may be one or two instances of lifting from the original passage. 5-6 Some relevant information showing understanding of up to half of the points. There may be instances of lifting from the original passage. 3-4 Little relevant information. Includes up to a third of the points, showing understanding of some of the points. Over-reliance on phrases lifted from the original passage. 0-2 No relevant information or supplies one or two relevant points from the original passage. 2 Isto faz-se através de (páginas chamadas) blogues na internet. 3 Abordam-se os assuntos mais diversos (roupa, comer, passeios, como poupar) 4 Nos países de língua portuguesa 5 muitas pessoas fazem carreira como bloggers 6 Deixam profissões comuns 7 Trabalham a tempo inteiro no blogue 8 ficam famosos / e ganham muito dinheiro 9 Para terem êxito / sucesso / dinheiro 10 precisam/dependem de anúncios 11 e de saber alguns estratagemas para serem vistos 12 mas o mais importante são as boas ideias 13 a maneira de escrever 14 a atitude ou magnetismo do blogger Total 10 NB: Accept any 10 of the points above. Task 7(b) Response Grid J [20 marks]F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 19 Question Answer Marks Guidance Content Levels of response 8 b No Indicative Content – personal response Note: to get access to the full range of marks, candidates need to express their opinion and cover all points of the question. To avoid a penalty, there must be a personal response. Grid J: Looking at the annotations, assess the quality of the response to the text and apply Grid J. NB: “imagination” and “insight” are interpreted conservatively. The number of ticks you have awarded and the way they spread (i.e. number of developments per opinion / personal response) may indicate a mark band. You must then use your professional judgement to fine-tune your marking. You may look at the quality of the candidate’s points and go down a mark or two if they seem rather pedestrian or repetitive. Similarly an attempt at originality or humour could gain an extra mark or two. Enter your mark. • Use the green tick in the margin to show each opinion / personal response • Use a green tick in body of text to show a development / extension of the opinion. NB: one opinion may have several extensions. Grid J RESPONSE TO TEXT 16-20 Responds with well-developed points of view which show insight, originality and imagination. 12-15 Expresses points of view that are consistently developed and respond to the requirements of the task. Shows some originality and/or imagination. 8-11 Expresses points of view that respond to the requirements of the task. Some of these may be developed and there may be some originality and/or imagination. 4-7 Manages the beginning of a response to the requirements of the task. May have difficulty in expressing and/or developing points of view. 0-3 Very short. May not go beyond points of view already expressed in the original text. Total 20F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 20 Task 7(a)+(b) – Language (QoL) – Grids C.2 and F.2: [20 marks] Question Answer Marks Guidance 8 a + b Assess for Quality of Language using Grids C2 and F2 Appendix 1 20 a. Read the whole response again and assess for Range (Grid F2) first – i.e. vocabulary and structures. Then assess for Accuracy (Grid C2). Key words have been highlighted in the grids below. Ignore final sentence of 3-4 band in Grid C.2, since vocabulary and structures have already been assessed under Grig F.2. If you wish you may use the underlining tool (--) to show language errors if you find it makes it easier to apply Grid C.2, but it is not essential. Enter your mark. b. Ignore language lifted from the text when assessing language (See Task 8a above). Lifted language is not credited for QoL – only content points and/or personal response.F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 21 APPENDIX 1 GRID C.2 QUALITY OF LANGUAGE - ACCURACY 10 marks AO3 GRID F.2 QUALITY OF LANGUAGE (RANGE) 10 marks AO3 9-10 Characterised by a high and consistent level of accuracy in use of complex structures, although there may be some errors. 9-10 Effective and confident use of a wide range of vocabulary and idiom with a variety of complex sentence structures. 7-8 Language generally accurate. Shows a sound grasp of AS (and/or A2) structures, as appropriate. Generally correct use of complex structures. Tenses and agreements good, although there may be some inconsistency and errors in more complex areas. 7-8 Effective use of a range of vocabulary and structures appropriate to the task, with little repetition. A positive attempt to introduce variety and to use a range of complex sentence structures (though not always able to maintain correct usage). 5-6 Shows evidence of fair understanding of grammatical usage. Generally accurate use of simple sentence structures. Some correct use of complex sentence structures. The performance is likely to be patchy and inconsistent. 5-6 Attempts to extend the range of vocabulary, though still rather repetitive. Attempts to use more complex language with some success in producing a range of syntax and sentence structures appropriate to the task. 3-4 Evidence of gaps in basic grammar. Frequent errors of an elementary kind (endings, verb forms, gender of common nouns, adjectival agreements) but evidence of correct use of simple sentence structures. (Vocabulary and structures may be quite strongly influenced by the candidate’s first language). 3-4 Use of a restricted range of vocabulary and structures. Frequent repetition of the same words and phrases. Some attempt (not necessarily successful) at the use of more complex sentence structures. 0-2 Little evidence of grammatical awareness. Persistent, serious and elementary errors (endings, verb forms, gender of common nouns). Frequent first language interference. 0-2 Only simple sentence patterns. Very limited vocabulary. Very limited range of structures.F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 22 APPENDIX 2 Transcripts of Listening Texts Tarefa 1 NOTES: MP = Male, Portuguese MP – UMA FAMÍLIA PORTUGUESA MP: A estrutura da família portuguesa já não é o que era. Hoje interessa o conceito de família como o conjunto de pessoas que vivem na mesma casa. Nos últimos anos, o número de famílias portuguesas aumentou, mas a dimensão média das famílias diminuiu. Há mais pessoas a viver juntas que decidem não ter filhos e também há menos filhos por casal. As famílias com mais de dois filhos são uma minoria. Mas os dados também indicam que muitos casais têm menos filhos do que aqueles que desejam. Tal como noutros países desenvolvidos, as principais barreiras são as dificuldades económicas e a instabilidade profissional. Muitos casais referem a dificuldade em conciliar a vida familiar e a profissional, a falta de cuidados infantis ou o facto de estes serem demasiado caros e não lhes permitirem ter a vida profissional que querem. O aumento do divórcio teve dois efeitos opostos. Por um lado, aumentou o número de famílias monoparentais, ou seja, há mais pais e mães a viverem sozinhos com os filhos. Têm crescido sobretudo as famílias só de mães com filhos menores de dezoito anos. Por outro lado, aumentou o número de famílias recompostas, ou seja, de pessoas separadas ou divorciadas que voltam a formar família. Neste caso, há casais que juntam filhos de relações anteriores aos das novas relações, formando famílias mais numerosas. Ainda assim, os dados relativos aos casais recompostos acompanham a tendência de diminuição do número de filhos presente na sociedade portuguesa em geral. Os portugueses deixam uma família para procurarem outra, numa busca contínua por felicidade individual e familiar. Favorecem-se os sentimentos, mais do que as instituições.F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 23 Tarefa 2 NOTES: FP = Female, Portuguese FP – MUSEU AO AR LIVRE FP: Uma rua em Toronto está a ser transformada num museu ao ar livre em homenagem ao contributo da comunidade portuguesa no Canadá. Esta iniciativa arrancou em março e conta já com vinte murais. Os desenhos enfeitam casas particulares e comerciais, muros partidos e garagens abandonadas. Têm diversas dimensões e incluem uma variedade de temas, desde a família e os jovens, às profissões tradicionais e às paisagens portuguesas. Um dos maiores murais representa o ‘Pescador Português’ e foi criado a pensar nas gentes da região da Nazaré. Os membros da organização querem promover a arte local e ensinar a juventude a evitar atos de vandalismo, expressando-se através da arte.F887/01 Mark Scheme November 2020 24 Task 3 RURAL PROJECT NOTES: ME = Male English; MB1 = Male, Brazilian; MB2: Male, Portuguese ME – RURAL PROJECT MB1 – Me chamo Jacinto, sou o fundador da Comunidade da Centeia, tenho aqui ao meu lado o Luís, mais conhecido como Formiga, que é um grande amigo e coordena a parte das construções. A nossa comunidade possui 180 hectares, dos quais a maior parcela é dedicada à agricultura sustentável. Funcionamos como uma fazenda à moda antiga, onde os trabalhadores vivem e trabalham no mesmo local. Neste momento, estamos a criar um parque para acampamento numa área de 10 hectares e com capacidade para 300 pessoas, onde estamos a construir oito edifícios. O edifício principal vai ter uma área de recepção, restaurante e um minimercado. Para além das áreas de acampamento com tendas, vamos ter dois dormitórios com espaço para 14 pessoas cada, incluindo vários balneários. Também vamos ter cinco cabanas familiares, construídas de forma tradicional. MB2 – Olá, eu sou o Formiga. Nas casinhas que estamos a construir trabalhamos com materiais naturais, como o barro, a palha e a cortiça. A forma única como usamos estes materiais e a espessura das paredes conferem uma eficiência térmica às habitações que as protegem tanto do frio como do calor. Este projeto abriu-nos as portas para lançarmos outras construções para pessoas que ouvem falar sobre estas técnicas de construção natural e também temos pedidos para dar formação.OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations) The Triangle Building Shaftesbury Road Cambridge CB2 8EA [Show More]
