A decision before an answer
- A story opening is already supplied. Your story must continue it, not replace it with an unrelated memory.
- Your goal: Choose one of the article and story tasks and follow its instruction.
Read the relationship
- Part 2 offers a choice: write an article or story of about 100 words. Read both before choosing.
- Develop relevant ideas and engage the intended reader.
A story task gives an opening sentence. You should:
The supplied opening is part of the task.
Use the defining rule
- An article addresses its topic prompts and audience. Explain examples and give a clear focus.
- Organise a coherent article or narrative in about 100 words.
An article for students should:
Purpose and audience shape the response.
Check the conditions
- A story develops from the supplied opening sentence, with connected events and a clear outcome.
- Organise a coherent article or narrative in about 100 words.
Opening: “When I opened the bag, I realised something was wrong.” Plan: wrong sports kit → contact a friend → borrow equipment → reach the match. Keep a clear sequence and explain how the problem is resolved.
A story’s problem-solving ending is its ____.
The outcome connects to the earlier events.
Apply the task format
- Plan quickly, then reserve time to check content and language. A teacher reviews the open response, not a rigid model-answer string.
- Organise a coherent article or narrative in about 100 words.
A fluent piece in the wrong genre or unrelated to the supplied opening misses the communicative task.
