Ideas for writing
Ask yourself the following questions to help you get started:
- What was the name of the company where you completed your work experience? What is their area of business?
- What were your daily duties? What support was available?
- What skills or experience did you gain? Did you enjoy the tasks you were asked to do?
- How might the scheme be improved?
Drafting and proofreading your work
You should look at your first draft of the task and decide:
- Have you answered the question?
- Is the layout and organisation appropriate?
- Is the language accurate with a good range of structures?
- Is the style appropriate and consistent?
- Will it have a positive effect on the reader?
If the answer is 'no' to any of these questions then you will need to do some more drafting!
