Writing Criteria (go to Task)
Writing Paper Part 2. Task Type: Article
| Content Should include a description and evaluation of at least three ways to spend a gap year. The evaluation must include some discussion of the skills or benefits that are likely to be gained and the ways that they can enhance a young person's job prospects. |
| Communicative achievement Could range from formal to reasonably informal, as long as the register is consistent throughout the article. The magazine editor would be informed and would consider that the article has met its brief and is suitable for publication. |
| Organisation There is no need to give the article a title of your own as this is already given in the question. The article must be divided into clear paragraphs and could possibly have paragraph headings to mirror a magazine format. As this is a magazine article the aim is to catch the attention of the reader in the opening sentences. |
| Language Language of description, evaluation, recommendation and advice. Topic vocabulary relating to employment and leisure. (e.g. 'enhance your CV', 'expand your horizons'). Does not have to be completely accurate but any errors should be minimal. |
