Paper 1Writing

What advice do you already follow to write well in English?

You have to choose one writing prompt from a choice of three.

The aim of paper 1 is to assess your ability to write fluent, accurate and context-appropriate English

There are three text types listed in alphabetical order for each prompt. You choose the most suitable text type for the task.

Each prompt has a different audience, context and purpose; each one is based on a different theme from the English B syllabus.

The three prompts will cover at least two categories of text (personal, professional or mass media).

For the task there will always be one text type that is:- most appropriate -acceptable -least appropriate.

In any paper 1, only three of the five English B themes are covered. Therefore, you will need to be familiar with all the themes and the associated language

Five text types will appear in the three prompts.
