Replying to an email

Learn it simply

  • Identify each information request and respond to it clearly.
  • Match the relationship with the reader: an email to a friend can be warm and informal.
  • Organise related points together and include a reason or detail where it helps the reader.

See it. Say it. Understand it.

Easy / Start here

Thanks for inviting me. I would love to come.

Moderate / Add a little

Could we meet at eleven? My class finishes at ten.

More detail for teachers and confident learners

Identify each information request and respond to it clearly. Match the relationship with the reader: an email to a friend can be warm and informal. Organise related points together and include a reason or detail where it helps the reader. Finish naturally without introducing a new unfinished topic.

B1 writing needs relevant content, an appropriate style and connected organisation. Plan content before composing so none of the task points disappears. Use paragraphing to group ideas, and give sufficient detail for the reader to understand your meaning. Review language after checking the message. The official format sets the actual task options and length guidance; an EWS lesson model is a teaching example, not a complete examination answer to memorise.

Writing an engaging article

Learn it simply

  • An article addresses its reader and develops a clear topic.
  • Use a suitable title, an interesting opening and paragraphs that each develop one idea.
  • Concrete examples make advice or opinions useful.

See it. Say it. Understand it.

Easy / Start here

A title such as A Weekend Without Screens sets the topic.

Moderate / Add a little

A personal example can show why an activity is enjoyable.

An article addresses its reader and develops a clear topic. Use a suitable title, an interesting opening and paragraphs that each develop one idea. Concrete examples make advice or opinions useful. End with a relevant thought or recommendation. Avoid turning the response into a list of disconnected opinions.

Writing a coherent story

Learn it simply

  • Start from the required prompt and maintain a clear sequence.
  • Establish characters, develop a problem and reach a plausible outcome.
  • Past simple and past continuous can distinguish events from background.

See it. Say it. Understand it.

Easy / Start here

I was waiting at the gate when I heard my name.

Moderate / Add a little

The stranger was my old neighbour, and I suddenly recognised him.

More detail for teachers and confident learners

Start from the required prompt and maintain a clear sequence. Establish characters, develop a problem and reach a plausible outcome. Past simple and past continuous can distinguish events from background. A small amount of dialogue can help, but punctuation must keep speakers clear. Avoid a dramatic ending with no connection to earlier events.
