I read and understood well the

question

I wrote about 40-60 words per

bullet point

I quickly planned the content of the

text before I started writing

I developed the ideas given in the

bullet points (e.g. used examples,
added information, gave details,
described)

I only wrote realistic and relevant

content and avoided digressions
(slowly moving to a different topic/
content)

I used an informal style/register,

perfect for a friend (e.g. used
contractions/informal expressions/
simple words)

I included an engaging opening

section (e.g. using a memory) and
an engaging ending (e.g. made an
appointment to meet soon)

In every section, I used interactive

expressions directed to my friend,
not to make the letter sound like a
story (e.g. I’m sure you know
that...)

The letter sounds like I am writing

to a real friend

I wrote an appropriate number of

words (between 150 and 200)

I divided the text into 4 paragraphs

I included all the necessary sections

(introduction – body – conclusion)
and followed a logical order in
developing the text

I used appropriate linkers to

connect parts of the text (e.g.
moreover, what’s more, etc.)

I used appropriate expressions for

the type of text and section (Even
if.../although..., I recommend..., All
in all..., To sum up..., etc.)

I used structures appropriate for the

text (e.g. REPORT -> passives /
ARTICLE or REVIEW ->
exclamations, rhetorical questions,
imperatives)

I used synonyms and avoided

repetitions

I used appropriate and speci c

words (e.g. tasty, attractive,
pleasant). I avoided generic words
(e.g. nice, good, bad, ok)

I alternated long and short

sentences
