Sarah was lying on the table. She was stretched out, wearing a long, white robe. My heart thumped because she looked dead. Her head was hanging over the edge of the table and one arm was dangling down to the floor.

6 What level would you give this example? Make sure you are using the mark scheme. Student 2 I knew I was too late. In the moonlight coming from the open window, Jane was draped over the bed in the centre of the room. Robed in a beautiful white gown, her head and arm hung peacefully over the table’s edge, but blood had soaked into her outer robe. Her face and neck had a corpse-like paleness. On her body sat a mean and triumphant demon, his grinning shadow printed grimly on the red curtains behind.
