Extra felicity O’Dell fce

Examiner comment
Content
This candidate’s answer is not quite satisfactory
because of content issues. He does not clearly ask
about the other activities for the afternoon. He does not
make it clear what is being suggested about the end of
term concert (‘anticipate’ is presumably a false friend). 
The fact that the students have found out about the
concert is not really made clear. The teacher's name is
spelt wrongly (possibly a typing error).
Accuracy
As far as accuracy goes, the candidate makes errors
only when more ambitious language is attempted: ‘we
are looking forward to spend’ (spending); ‘improving
more and more our English’ (word order – improving our
English more and more – though more and more is
actually redundant and would be better left out); ‘accept
(agree to) our proposal’; ‘a rarely (rare) opportunity.’
There is inappropriate use of anticipate, an impeding
error.
Range
In terms of range it is fine.
Organisation and cohesion
Satisfactory in terms of organisation, though it would be
better if the separate points from the notes after the
students meeting were given clear individual
prominence.
Target reader
The target reader would be slightly confused.
