S S tu d y Tip When you are practising this type of writing, say your
answer aloud to help you decide whether your language is too repetitive.
Do your sentences sound very similar? Think about the sentence
structures you have used, as well as the vocabulary.
The coherence (how easy your writing is to understand) and cohesion
(how the ideas in your answer are connected together) of your answer
are also assessed in Writing Task 1. You need to take the time to organise
your ideas into paragraphs. You can practise this in Units 3, 4 and 6.
Test Tip
Make sure
that you leave time at
the end to check your
writing. You need to
make sure that your
facts and your language
are both accurate.
