Exam Essentials
In Paper 2, you must answer two questions. The question in Part 1 is compulsory.
In Part 2, there are three questions, and you have to answer one of them.
In Part 1, you will be asked to write an essay for a particular purpose and target
reader.
Part 1 tests your ability to respond to the input material in an appropriate style,
evaluating information, expressing opinions, etc. All tasks require you to be
persuasive. Read the instructions carefully and underline the key words that tell
you what you are being asked to do.
The input information in Part 1 may be from a variety of different texts: notes,
letters, reports, advertisements, diagrams, etc. Make sure you read it carefully and
understand what information it conveys before you start writing.
Think about the appropriate register for your writing: formal, semi-formal, neutral
or informal.
Don’t try to write out your answer in a rough draft before you produce a final draft;
you will not have enough time. Instead, plan what you will say in each section/
paragraph of your writing.
Divide your writing into three sections: introduction, main body and conclusion.
Think about what you will say in each part. Plan approximately how many words
should be in each section of your writing.
Write your essay. Use your own words as far as possible; don’t copy the
information from the input texts.
When you have finished, check your spelling and punctuation. Make sure the
examiner can read your writing.
See the
Writing bank
on pages 193–205 for examples of different types of writing.

Your class has attended a lecture on what governments could do to minimise the
use of fossil fuels. You have made the notes below.
Methods of minimising the use of fossil fuels
•
recycling
•
increaing taxes on petrol
•
increasing use of nuclear energy
Some opinions expressed in the
discussion:
‘Is the technology for recycling
adequately developed?’
‘Increased taxation will not be a
sufficient deterrent.’
‘Nuclear energy is too risky.’
Write an
essay
for your tutor discussing
two
of the methods in your notes. You
should
explain which method you think is more important
for governments to
consider, and provide reasons to support your opinion.
You may, if you wish, make use of the opinions expressed in the discussion, but
you should use your own words as far as possible.

When you write an essay,
think about the appropriate
register and tone for the
question you are answering.
Who is going to read your
essay?
In your essay, you must
describe the general idea
What information should
you give? Is it necessary to
mention who ‘you’ are in this
essay?
What is the reason for writing
the essay? What effect do
you want it to have on the
reader? What do you hope to
achieve by writing it? Do you
want to convince the reader
about anything? Think about
the language you will need to
achieve this goal.
The notes and opinions
provide you with information,
and you can develop your
own arguments around them.
