Advice from Cambridge:

DO

• Read the whole question thoroughly and underline important parts.
• Make a plan for each answer, including ALL points.
• Expand the points in Part 1 if you can, using relevant ideas and information.
• Write in paragraphs, whenever appropriate.
• Use a range of vocabulary, even if you are unsure of the correct spelling.
• Check tense endings, plural forms and word order in sentences.
• Check irregular past tenses and question formation.
• Use language that is appropriately formal or informal for the task.
• Choose a question you feel confident you can write about in Part 2.
• Write clearly, so that the examiner can read your answer.

DON'T

• Don't misspell key words which appear on the question paper.
• Don't use the exact words from the question paper too much.
• Don't mix formal and informal language.
• Don't use formal linkers in an informal letter.
• Don't waste time writing addresses for a letter as they are not required.
• Don't answer Question 5 if you haven’t read either of the books.
• Don't worry if you run slightly over the word limit.
