Passage One: Daily life for a young Peruvian
Los Andes – Andes Mountains
Un poncho - poncho
Me llamo Luis y vi vo en el pueblo que se llama Chumpe a una altura de 3.000
metros en los Andes. Soy el cuarto hijo. Todos los días me despierto muy temprano,
alrededor de las cinco de la mañana. Me visto muy rápido porque tengo que
andar tres horas para llegar a mi colegio. Antes de salir de casa, me pongo un
poncho porque siempre hace mucho frío por las mañanas en las montañas.
Entonces, tengo que ayudar a mi padre con nuestras ovejas y vaca. A veces
nieva y normalmente mis pies y mis manos están friísimas.
Cada mañana mi madre nos da la leche de nuestra vaca y todos desayunamos
juntos. Normalmente tomamos leche caliente y pan para el desayuno. Todos los
hijos tenemos tareas en la casa. Mi hermana mayor trae el agua desde el río y los
más pequeños ayudan a mi madre en la granja.
Mis hermanos menores caminan a la escuela que está más o menos a una hora de
nuestro pueblo. A los nueve años, dejamos la escuela porque no hay bastante
dinero para continuar. Mi tío, que trabaja en Lima, paga mis estudios. Cuando
termino mis estudios quiero abrir una escuela en mi pueblo para ayudar a la gente.
Passage Two: Soap Operas in Latin America
La telenovela – soap opera
Las telenovelas son los programas de televisión más populares de América Latina.
Suelen ser historias de amor con muchos problemas. Antes, solo las mujeres miraban
las teleno velas, pero hoy en día muchos jóv enes también las miran. En una
telenovela típica siempre hay una situación imposible.
En la teleno vela famosa de Uruguay, “Los Días de Nuestras Vidas,” Claudia y José
son dos estudiantes de la universidad. Él era guapo, moreno con ojos negros y una
sonrisa enorme. Ella, morena también, tenía el pelo corto y liso y los ojos verdes.
Salían a todas partes juntos, y siempre se div ertían juntos.
Querrían casarse, pero no lo hicieron. Claudia salió para dar un paseo por la playa
con los perros y nunca vol vió. José pasó años buscándola y al final, solo y triste,
conoció a otra chica, Marta. José y Marta se casaron, pero después de unos días
llegó una mujer misteriosa vestida toda de negro. ¿Quién era?

Notes for assessors: In keeping with the new format for NCEA examinations for Level
One from 2009 please take note of the following explanations:
 Achievement column contains achievement level responses only.
 Merit column contains the achievement level responses and underlined
merit level responses
 The Excellence column contains the achievement level responses,
underlined merit level responses and excellence responses in bold.
In order to arrive at a final grade, assessors are to first make a judgement for each
question at N, A, M, or E level using the shaded Judgement row.
Then make a judgement for the standard as a whole using the O verall Judging
Statement at the end of the schedule.
Both the shaded Judgement row following each question and the O verall Judging
Statement are provided as a guide. These may be altered, along with the
individual dot points, by the assessors to ensure that learners are awarded the
appropriate grade, as indicated by the level of their responses when measured
against the requirements of the standard.
Higher level judgements are to be based at all times on qualitative grounds that
reflect the learner’s recognition of detail, higher level structures, and ability to infer
meaning.
Typically, Achievement level responses will give relevant information; Merit level
responses will contain more specific details; Excellence level responses will show in
depth understanding/the ability to infer meaning.
Thus, the learner’s ability to extract meaning and interpret information from the
text(s) will determine the grade awarded.
