Language query-yr 13 mags

This post is in response to the following query..." writing in first person? What do you recommend as it is not permitted in English?"

I would refer you back to the guidance from the exam board given to examiners, "No specific marks are allocated to quality of written communication, but it should be sufficient at all levels to make meaning clear. It is possible, at the lower levels, that significant errors in detail and structure may impede or obscure meaning, and thus indirectly penalise responses. At higher
levels, information and ideas will be expressed accurately, concisely and fluently, although errors may still occur."

Hope this helps.
