When writing

1.Answer the question

• In writing exams you can write a text with no
  grammar or spelling mistakes and not pass the
  exam, it is essential to answer the question.
• Put all the necessary information in your text.
• Write the correct number of words.Texts that are
  very long or very short do not usually get good
  marks.

2.Style

• Its important to understand who you are writing
  to.We do not write in the same way to a friend as
  to a company director.
• In informal texts we use contractions ( dont /
  arent).We use short, direct sentences (Please
  come/Dont be late). We use informal expressions
  (Hi,/ All the best).
• In formal texts we do not use contractions (do
  not/are not).We use long, polite structures (I
  would love you to come/We would be grateful if
  you could arrive on time). We use formal
  expressions ( Dear Mr/Ms/Yours sincerely).
• You get a better mark when you write in the
  correct style.

3. Planning before you write.

• Before you write in English, it is always a good
  idea to plan. This helps you to think of ideas.
  It helps you to organize the information in a
  clear, logical way. It also helps you not to
  repeat yourself.
• Planning takes a little time, but it saves time
  when you start to write. It also helps you to
  write a good,interesting text.

4. Paragraphs.

• A paragraph is made up of different sentences
  which talk about one main topic.
• Paragraphs help you to organise and structure
  your writing. This makes your composition easy to
  understand. When there are no paragraphs,
  compositions can be confusing and repetitive.

6. Checking your work.

• It is normal to make mistakes when we write. That
  is why it is important to read your work
  carefully when you finish. Check for mistakes
  with
• punctuation
• word order
• tenses
• capital letters
• spelling
• agreement between the subject and verb

7. Handwriting and presentation.

• Sometimes we forget that handwriting and
  presentation are very important in writing exams.
  If examinsers find it difficult to read your work
  or if they cant understand, you will lose marks.
• Give yourself enough time to write clearly or do
  a final, clean version of your text.

And remember practice makes perfect.

• Good luck!
