2.Answers do not come easily to the mind unless you know the subject. It is important to plan the answers.

3. Whenever you segregate your information in paragraphs try to be clear. The first paragraph should link with the second one. Ideas should be presented clearly in the paragraphs.

4. Do not use the question in the answers. Many students tend to copy the entire question in their answers. You will lose the word limit by doing so.

5. Manage time well. Task 2 takes up more time than time 1.

6. Do not keep re framing your answers.

7. Stick to the topic.

8. Task 1- 20 minutes only; Task 2- 40 minutes only

9. You will have to write at least 150 words for task 1 and 250 words for task 2. If you stay below this limit, you will lose marks.

17. Try to write as clearly as possible. Do no scribble. The examiner needs to read and understand what you wrote.
