Test 4, Paper 2, Writing 
(Page 96)
Part 1
Question 1 (article)
Style:

 
Semi-formal; remember that you are writing for your school 
magazine. 
Content:

Use information from your notes and the email. You should 

include information about:
 
 
• 
your experiences of doing part-time work.
 
 
• 
benefits and drawbacks of doing such work.
 
 
• 
what to be wary of.
 
 
•
whether you think it’s a good thing for the other students
to do.
This question is compulsory, so even if you have not done much part-
time work yourself, you can still answer the question by using the given 
information.
Part 2
Question 2 (competition entry)
Style:

 
Semi-formal, but with colourful language to interest the reader 
and persuade the magazine editor that you should win the 
competition. Use clear paragraphs, and include a conclusion 
giving reasons why your entry should win.
Content: 
You should:
 
 
• 
identify and describe your friend.
 
 
• 
explain what your friend has done.
 
 
• 
explain what you think makes your friend so special.
 
 
•
give reasons why your friend (and your entry!) should win 
the award.
Question 3 (information lealet)
Style:

 
Semi-formal as this is an information sheet for students. You 
should present facts as clearly as possible. You can either use 
paragraphs (one for each point) with or without headings, or 
bullet points. If you use bullet points, remember that you still 
have to show a range of language, so don’t make them too 
simple and don’t use them in every paragraph.
