    Tips for excelling at your


    PET writing

    WRITE THE CORRECT


    WRITING (CONTENT,
    COMMUNICATIVE
    ACHIEVEMENT)
    ANSWER THE QUESTION
    If it’s an email, it needs to look like an (CONTENT)
    email with a simple “Hi” and “See you Include all the necessary content in
    soon!” at the beginning and end. If it’s an your answers. Part 1 is very controlled
    article, it should have a title. If it’s a and has four notes along the side of
    story, it should have a beginning, middle each input text. In order to score points
    and end. The tone and style of each in the Content mark, you must clearly
    writing is slightly different too. Look at include answers to all four notes. In Part
    examples and consider what style is 2, you’ll have a couple of content points
    used. in the article and less in the story, but
    you still need to stick to the topic. For
    example, if the story is about a day at
    the beach, don’t write about a birthday
    party.
    USE PARAGRAPHS
    (ORGANISATION)
    Another easy fix, but one that
    can seriously affect the
    Organisation mark. Even
    though the text is only 100
    words, there should generally
    be 2-3 paragraphs, clearly
    separated using a line gap or PUNCTUATE (ORGANISATION,
    indentation. LANGUAGE)

    Be careful with sentences that are


    long, confusing and connected
    together with commas. Make sure
    you are finishing sentences when
    they are grammatically complete
    and not using incorrect
    USE THE PAST (LANGUAGE) punctuation.

    To show you know B1 grammar, it’s


    important to use the past. In almost
    every writing, you will have the
    opportunity to use the past to talk about
    something that happened to you. Don’t
    forget to study the irregular verbs!
    USE SOME MODAL VERBS
    (LANGUAGE)
    Another area of B1 language is modal
    verbs. Make a recommendation with USE A RELATIVE CLAUSE
    “should” or talk about possibility with (LANGUAGE)
    “can” or “can’t”. It’s not advanced
    language, but it’s something that shows If you want to score top points in
    you know B1 level English. Language, you have to attempt some
    complex grammar. Using subordinate
    clauses like relative clauses is a good
    way to do this. A sentence like “My
    brother, who lives in Miami, is going to
    visit me in Spain this summer” is a great
    way to include more complex grammar
    in your writing.

    USE BASIC LINKING


    WORDS
    (ORGANISATION,
    LANGUAGE)
    At B1, you don’t need to use a
    huge variety of linking words,
    but you should use “and”, “so”, MAKE IT INTERESTING
    “but”, “because” and possibly a (COMMUNICATIVE
    few other more advanced ACHIEVEMENT)
    ones like “however”, You don’t need to be an expert
    “although” and “also”. These writer to write an interesting text.
    should be used throughout all For example, there’s a big
    the writings. difference between a story where
    the school closes because of a
    flood (interesting) and a day you
    went to school and did an exam
    (not interesting). The same applies
    to articles, if you write an article
    about travel and you talk about
    going on an adventure in Hawaii,
    it’s more interesting than going to
    the local swimming pool every day.
