How to approach Writing Test Part One
&8226;Part One counts for one third of the total marks in the Writing Test.
&8226;You should spend no more than 15 minutes on Part One.
&8226;You will be asked to write a note, memo, email or message to one or more people in your company
&8226;The first bullet point of the instructions outlines the situation.
&8226;The second bullet point tells you what you should write, who you are writing it for, and the points that must be included.
&8226;It is best to follow the order of the points that are required, as you will lose marks if you leave out any of them.
Planning
&8226;Read the instructions carefully so that you know what to do, and underline the key words.
Writing

&8226;Try to use a range of appropriate vocabulary and grammatical structures.
&8226;Make the language suitable for the reader(s).
Checking
&8226;After writing, read what you have written, correct mistakes and make improvements. If you want to add anything, use a sign, e.g. *. Put a line through anything you want to omit. Don't rewrite the whole of your answer
&8226;Make sure the examiner will be able to read your answer. Use a pen and your normal handwriting (do not write in capital letters).
