PAPER 2 WRITING (2 hours)_

Part 1

You must answer this question.

You have received a letter and a newspaper cutting from a teacher at the KPD
School, where you attended an English course.

Read the extract from the letter below and the newspaper cutting on page 66. Then,
using the information provided, write the letter and note listed on page 66.

I'm sure you'll be interested in this article from the local paper of
11 September. It's terrible/ They've made lots of mistakes - I've
marked some of them. Mrs Driver has asked everybody to write
to the paper to complain so that they have to print a correction
- she's very worried that students will stop coming to the school.
I thought I'd let you know. As an ex-student who had such a good
time at KPD (and such excellent exam results!) you are just the
right person to point out their mistakes. I hope you aren't too
busy to help. If you do write to the paper, perhaps you would let
Mrs Driver know too.

Take care and hope to see you soon.
