Grading time~

In this task, we were required to grade a written essay in groups. After read through the passage, Fatin Salbiah and I had agreed on giving the student 9 marks out of 20, which means we failed him. We had decided on that mark because we find it difficult to understand few sentences in the passage. In addition, we have to relate ourselves to most of the story to get the entire picture in it. For me, I have to read several times on the essay to get the flow of the story as he was using limited vocabulary and plenty of grammatical errors not to mention the spelling. Moreover, most of the sentences were translated from mandarin. However, after listening to what Miss Yoon had commented, we were not supposed to fail the student's essay as long as we can understand the flow of their story based on the title although there were junks of errors in it. Through this task, I find it was actually quite challenging for teachers to do grading because there are more aspects to be concern at rather than the grammar or vocabulary itself.
