What’s it like being a reporter on a student newspaper?
Student reporter Darren Benton tells us
Being a reporter on a student
newspaper can be a daunting task -
you are, after all, faced with ensuring
that students on the college campus
are aware of everything they need to
know, especially the stuff that others
would rather they didn’t. All this, as
well as keeping a social life, a circle
of friends, and, of course, doing the
degree.
patience. The more people who know
you're a reporter the better. Everyone
has a story, whether they know it or
not. One little off-the-cuff comment
can lead to all manner of revelations,
maybe even a real scoop.
line 21
line 23
There is one piece of advice that
someone once gave me which has
proved pretty useful. Always, always
make a backup of your work and
carry it round with you 24/7. I have
never known computers to crash as
much as the ones in student
newspaper offices.
line 12
It's in the uncovering and
investigative bits that student hackery
really comes into its own. We have no
budget, very little time and no library
of resources at our disposal. But
then, all you really need is a hunch,
a telephone and an abundance of

PAPER 2: WRITING
Test 2 Question 1 (sample script)
Mark scheme and sample script with examiner comments
QUESTION 1: CANDIDATE G
Content
For Band 3 or above, the candidate’s
proposal
must:
Organisation and cohesion
Clearly organised, possibly with
headings.
Range
Language of description,
recommendation and persuasion.
describe the two venues
recommend one of the venues
Appropriacy of register and
format
Formal to unmarked. Must be
consistent.
Target reader
Would be informed.
give reasons for choice.
Candidate G
Examiner comments
The aim of this proposal is to suggest a suitable venue for the weekend trip
the social committee is organising.
Content
All points addressed, though last paragraph
needs more expansion.
The people taking part of this weekend activity attend college, therefore the
activities involved should be proper.
■
Organisation and cohesion
Well organised into paragraphs but weaker
internal cohesion e.g. ‘also … also’ in the
third paragraph. The proposal would benefit
from a title and headings.
One of the first suggestions given was mainly about phisical exercise. It would
be a great opportunity for them to keep fit and relax doing a sport. Second,
the students expressed their wish for quiet and peace, are also concerned
about the food they will receive and also about going shopping for presents.
The last comment was related to entertainment, either a film or a concert.
Range
Reasonable range of vocabulary but good
range of structure.
Regarding the students’ opinions and wishes for the trip but also taking into
consideration the two choices of locations, I recommend that the ‘Briar Park
Hotel. Although ‘Lakeside Activity Centre offers a peaceful setting in woodland
and opportunities for walking, canoeing and sailing, ‘Briar Park Hotel’ best
meets all the demandings. It has beautiful grounds outside Leightonbury, a
swimming pool and also tennis courts for sports. The free bus to and from city
centre is perfect for going shopping and the international menu has good food.
■
Accuracy
Several non-intrusive errors.
Appropriacy of register and format
Generally consistent.
■
Target reader
Would be informed.
As a conclusion, I believe that Briar Park Hotel is a good option which the
social committee should choose for the weekend trip
