1. 1high涉及分數: 8Linguistic Analysis (AO1 & AO2)

   'Feature spotting' by listing word classes and grammatical structures without directly connecting them to the text's context, audience, and purpose.

   如何避免: Always link identified features to their pragmatic effects, explaining how they construct meaning and representations within the specific context of the text.
2. 2high涉及分數: 10Directed Writing Formats (AO3)

   Treating Directed Writing tasks as standard academic essays, failing to adapt the layout, tone, headers, and stylistic conventions required for leaflets, articles, or speeches.

   如何避免: Explicitly include genre-specific layout conventions (such as headlines, subheadings, bullet points, or spoken introductions) and maintain a consistent, target-appropriate register.
3. 3high涉及分數: 9Socio-linguistic Discursive Essays (AO1 & AO2)

   Relying on personal anecdotes and subjective generalizations in Unit 2 Section B instead of integrating formal sociolinguistic theories, concepts, and named scholars.

   如何避免: Structure conceptual essays around established sociolinguistic models and name-drop relevant researchers (e.g., Swales, Drew and Heritage, Eckert, Ives, Cheshire, Giles) to support your claims.
4. 4medium涉及分數: 7Comparative Methodology (AO2)

   Analyzing comparative texts in isolation in Unit 1 Section A rather than actively comparing and contrasting their linguistic strategies side-by-side.

   如何避免: Use a dynamically integrated, point-by-point comparative structure, weaving both texts together in every paragraph with comparative connectives.
5. 5medium涉及分數: 5Linguistic Terminology Precision (AO1)

   Inaccurate grammatical labeling (such as misidentifying word classes or confusing sentence moods like declaratives and interrogatives) under exam pressure.

   如何避免: Take time to double-check basic word classes and grammatical moods during planning, and compile an accurate terminology checklist during revision.
