A note about Written Task Support Material • Any support material included with the written tasks must be in the language A2 studied. • Support material should only be included when it clarifies the context of the written task. The following are four examples of written tasks and the type of clarification that is needed. ◦ A letter to the editor of a newspaper that refers to a particular article should include the original article. ◦ A pastiche should be accompanied by a sample of the writer’s style. ◦ An alternative ending to a novel should be accompanied by the relevant passage just before the beginning of the new ending and a few pages of the original ending. ◦ If the task relates to a page of a web site, a copy of this page should be included. • There are instances when support material is not helpful to the examiner. For example, an examiner does not need to receive a copy of the film on which a task is based. Literary Terms 4 Euphony Empathy Euphemism Epiphany
