Hello!

Well, I have just marked a T2 written by you where the grammar was of a very high standard and now I'm reading this and wondering where the mistakes are coming from!?

I doubt that most teachers would consider their salary to be 'given away' by the school they work for!! Other vocabulary is also used incorrectly - incline (increase), special (particular), huge (unknown - the data shows percentages, not amounts).

You have answered the task at a minimum level. You describe and summarise the data very simply.

Overall, quite good, but vocabulary and grammar mistakes hold the score down.

All the best,
David
