The World of work:

Sample reading and responding task answers

Task 1.1

Marking Criteria
Gives an opinion with excellent justification referring to the text 2 marks
Gives an opinion with some justification 1 mark

Sample Answers:

Yes Answer
Yes, I would like to have a job similar to Andrew because he works at Disneyland and it seems like fun to work with Disney characters. He can use both his English and Japanese. He also meets many Japanese people and feels like a star.

No Answer
No, I wouldn't like to have a job like Andrew because I don't like meeting people. I am shy so I don't like being the centre of people's attention but most of all, I don't want to clean up after children who have been sick on the roller coaster. It is very dirty and really smelly.

 

Task 1.2

Marking Criteria
Gives an opinion with excellent justification referring to the text 2 marks
Gives an opinion with some justification 1 mark

Sample answers:

Yes Answer
I do feel Andrew is fulfilling his purpose in coming to Japan to experience and learn about Japanese culture and see traditions because he gets to meet many Japanese people. He has a chance to speak in Japanese.

No Answer
Andrew's purpose in coming to Japan was to learn and experience more about Japanese culture and see Japanese traditions. But Disneyland is not part of authentic Japanese culture and traditions. It is an American theme park, so I don't think Andrew is fulfilling his purpose in coming to Japan.
