A decision before an answer
- A reply may answer three notes beautifully but ignore a fourth. Use the notes as a content checklist.
- Your goal: Write an email of about 100 words addressing supplied notes.
Read the relationship
- Part 1 is compulsory: reply to an email using the notes provided, in about 100 words.
- Use appropriate communicative conventions.
The supplied note says “Suggest”. You should:
The note directs a communicative action.
Use the defining rule
- Interpret each note as an action: answer, suggest, explain or ask. Give relevant development rather than copying it.
- Organise and control B1 language.
A good reply should address:
Every note is required content.
Check the conditions
- Use an appropriate greeting, paragraphs and close. Organise the reply so the recipient can follow every answer.
- Organise and control B1 language.
An invitation email asks whether you can attend, when to arrive, what activity to try and where to eat. A plan can have four bullets: accept; arrive at two; suggest cycling because it suits the group; choose the café near the park. Expand them into a coherent reply.
Part 1 asks for about ____ words.
The task length is about 100 words.
Apply the task format
- Teacher review uses Content, Communicative Achievement, Organisation and Language. A local checklist prepares the response; it does not award a Cambridge Scale score.
- Organise and control B1 language.
Do not treat “about 100 words” as permission to omit notes. Accurate content takes priority over ornamental phrases.
Which answer fits this case?
Write an email of about 100 words addressing supplied notes
A local grammar score alone measures the whole writing task.
Purpose, content and organisation also need review.
Keep the distinctions
- communicative achievement 交际成效 — How the writing fulfils its communicative purpose.
- development 展开说明 — Relevant detail explaining a main point.
- Write an email of about 100 words addressing supplied notes.
- Use appropriate communicative conventions.
- Organise and control B1 language.
