For coursework research, read this document as a reference rather than a template to submit. Notice how the question, evidence and explanation connect. If a paired commentary or subject report is available, compare it with the original work instead of assuming a polished essay received a particular mark. Historical examples may belong to an earlier assessment framework.

May 2018 extended essay reports Page 1 Chinese B Overall grade boundaries Grade: E D C B A Mark range: 0-6 7-13 14-20 21-26 27-34 The range and suitability of the work submitted Most essays submitted met the topic selection principles, with many of them being very creative and thought provoking. s With the introduction of the new assessment criteria, more emphasis has been put on the requirement of EEs having to fit into the 3 categories: 1) Language; 2) Socio-cultural, including: a) language use; b) general culture based on speci fic artifacts; and 3) Literary works. Although the topics selected this year covered a wide range of the above three categories, the majority of candidates selected Category 2 b) , probably because there was always a wide range of possible topics available and it would comparatively be easier to produce an essay with rich and vivid content. However, the biggest challenge this year was how to determine the specific artifact as the basis of EE under Category 2 b) . A considerable number of EEs submitted und er this category were judged to have fallen outside the range of the 3 categories (especially 2 b)) and as a result were awarded very low marks based on them being “inappropriate” . Some of the typical problematic topics included education in the East and W est, Fengshui, women’s position in traditional marriage, One Belt One Road, globalization, Chinese vs. western medicine, new immigrants of Hong Kong, Korean Wave and so on.
