- A high-scoring response should include precise scientific terminology, a clear sequence of ideas, and explicit reference to Writing about language issues.
Explanation
Why this works
Treat the wording as evidence, not decoration. This answer should show how the response meets the learning objective: Write about language issues in a variety of forms to communicate ideas to a non-specialist audience.
In Writing skills, the strongest explanation links the answer to Writing about language issues, uses accurate linguistic terminology, and makes the evidence serve a clear analytical purpose. If the question is exam-style, the student should move beyond naming a feature by explaining how methodology works in a historical text where semantic change and standardisation influence meaning.
That means connecting language choice to meaning, context, representation, audience, genre, mode or method as appropriate. The conclusion should not be a personal opinion; it should be a supported judgement about how the language data operates in relation to the task.
