Introduction
Cloning
On the 23 February 1997, the world woke up to news of a new technological advance. This advance was embodied in a "little lamb" going by the name of Dolly.
At first glance, one could be forgiven for wondering what was so special about this white-faced sheep. Dolly looked like hundreds of the other lambs that dot the hills and fields of Scotland; and indeed for six months this lamb had grazed quietly and unnoticed among them. Dolly appeared positively ordinary. However, Dolly, despite appearances, had a most unusual conception.

Response to the question
Good essay. The candidate outlines a range of different ideas and concepts in a clear, concise manner before presenting an adequate conclusion which concludes with their own opinions on the subject matter. Scientific concepts used could have been explored in a much deeper scientific depth and the candidate could have broadened the horizons to improve their grade.
Level of analysis
Introduction outlines the background of the topic of cloning well. The purpose of cloning is not described very well and the meaning is sometimes hard to follow with the way the text is written. The level of analysis involved in the essay is very well presented with many different links and topics being analysed. To increase the level included, the candidate could include a range of different presentation sources including diagrams to explain the different concepts better. Scientific terms used are high for this level of candidate, but could have been more in depth to increase their grade further.
Quality of writing
One or two words have spaces in between them due to typing error which could have been avoided by simple proof-reading. Other grammar, punctuation and spelling are all fine.
