Underline each instruction in the task and plan one useful sentence for each point. Begin with a friendly greeting when writing to a friend. State the main purpose early, then add the requested information. A clear ending completes the message. Check that your reader could act on the email without asking for missing details.
Plan around the task's content points. A short message should make its purpose clear immediately; a story should connect the important events. Use simple accurate language, relevant detail and appropriate punctuation. These EWS lessons develop the skills; consult the official format for the precise task instructions and length requirements used in your entry.

First check the content, then the language. Each sentence should have a clear subject and a complete verb phrase. Check articles, plural endings and spelling of familiar words. Use full stops to separate complete ideas. A useful edit makes the message clearer; adding difficult vocabulary is unnecessary if a familiar word expresses the meaning accurately.
