An information article explains a topic clearly for its readers. Use a focused title, an engaging opening and paragraphs arranged by subtopic. Add relevant examples or details but avoid unsupported facts. A final sentence can draw the information together. Choose language that the intended audience can understand without reducing the topic to vague general statements.
Read the first model carefully: “A school garden can provide space for plants and outdoor learning.” Notice how its words work together to communicate one clear meaning. The second model, “Different plants need different amounts of sunlight and water.”, shows a different use of the same lesson idea. Compare the choices rather than memorising a whole sentence. In a new situation, choose the meaning you need first, then select the words and structure that express it. Read or say the result once more to check that another person can understand it.

A request letter tells its reader what you would like and why. Use a suitable greeting, state the request early and support it with clear reasons. Include practical details so the reader can respond. A respectful tone is more effective than demands or exaggerated claims. Finish with a polite closing and check that the request is realistic.
Read the first model carefully: “I am writing to request a weekly reading-club meeting.” Notice how its words work together to communicate one clear meaning. The second model, “A short lunchtime session would allow more pupils to attend.”, shows a different use of the same lesson idea. Compare the choices rather than memorising a whole sentence. In a new situation, choose the meaning you need first, then select the words and structure that express it. Read or say the result once more to check that another person can understand it.

A description needs a clear focus and an order that guides the reader’s attention. You might move from a wide view to one significant detail. Select sensory images that support the atmosphere. Avoid turning every sentence into an unrelated comparison. Sentence length can vary to control pace, but accurate, clear meaning remains more important than decoration.
