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 45: 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.

A.

You are a salesman. Introduce yourself and try to interest a customer in your product.

 

B.

Find a polite way of getting rid of a salesman whose wares don't interest you.

 

C.

Briefly explain why the product you are selling is better than its rivals or competitors.

 

D.

Persuade a friend that he would be wise to take out insurance on behalf of himself and his family.

 

E.

Politely tell a friend that you don't like her dress without offending her.
