1 WRITING: Summarize written text When you have written your response, check to make sure that it is only one sentence, with a capital letter at the beginning and only one full stop at the end. Your response must be between 5 and 75 words so check the word count using the ‘Total Word Count’ counter below the response box. If you write fewer than five words or more than 75 words, your response will not be scored. Your response must be expressed within one sentence, so you will need to use a complex or compound sentence to be able to summarize the main point of the passage and also briefly mention the supporting detail. 2 WRITING: Write essay Before you write anything, note key words in the prompt. Find out the topic, what key points you should focus on to answer the question and any points of view to present and discuss. Analyzing these four areas will help you to approach the task, structure your essay and decide on your main ideas. The content of your answer is very important. If you do not write about the topic in the prompt, you will receive no score points at all for this item type. Essay prompts can be written in a number of ways. For example, you may need to discuss whether you agree or disagree with a statement. You may have to consider how different groups of people might feel about a particular situation. You may need to argue for and against an opinion or discuss advantages and disadvantages of a situation. If there is a statement followed by a question, read the question very carefully and note key words. Make sure you know what to do. #Pragneshkumar read less
