4a.2 Combining, Summarising and Editing
Connect information across texts, paraphrase and summarise accurately, and edit Welsh at word, sentence and whole-text level.
How to use this English-interface Cymraeg guide
Read the strategy in English, then return to the Welsh source: quote and analyse its exact wording and produce every assessed response in accurate Cymraeg.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Selection and combination of relevant points from more than one text
Exam cue: Confirm the current WJEC route, unit, task and assessment control before choosing a reading, writing or speaking strategy.
Concept 2
Concise Welsh paraphrase, synthesis and summary
Exam cue: Group linked ideas before writing, preserve the original meaning in concise Welsh and check every correction in context.
Concept 3
Proofreading, correcting and short translation or editing at multiple language levels
Exam cue: Use the English guidance to plan the skill, but cite, analyse and produce the assessed response in accurate Welsh.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Copying large sections instead of synthesising, or correcting one word while creating a grammatical error elsewhere.
Guardrail: Do not translate away the assessed Welsh, bind optional texts universally or combine mutually exclusive award routes.
Answering the assessed task in English or translating away the Welsh wording, quotation, register, grammar or literary effect being assessed.
Guardrail: Do not translate away the assessed Welsh, bind optional texts universally or combine mutually exclusive award routes.
Binding every learner to an optional centre-selected text, poem or stimulus, or combining Single and Double Award units into one route.
Guardrail: Use Units 1-3 plus 4a for Single or Units 1-3 plus 4b, 5 and 6 for Double; never add weights or tasks across routes.
