Writing ability:
Situations |
|
|
NOTE: The
CPE writing test is not an intelligence or general
knowledge test. It is a writing proficiency test judged
on structure (organization and development) and style (standard
and appropriate English). That is why we have developed
this series of activities which you will find at the end
of first lesson in every unit. These activities help
students know how their writing skills (organization,
grammar, sentence structure) match with what’s expected
in their CPE written assignments. |
|
ACTIVITY 25:
Now you are going to do some brief writing
assignments. The creative part of these exercises is the
proof whether (or not) our students are developing their
skills. So, we are not giving you "right answers" but
just "introductory pointers" to help you.
Type each assignment inside the yellow
boxes (2 or 3 lines is enough). Then check
the answers. |
