Writing stories or letters
4 essentials for good answers
1. Answer the question
2. Plan
3. Use paragraphs
4. Revise your work
Make sure you answer the question exactly and no more.
It is essential to plan your writing. This should take at least 10 minutes to plan for each question.
In a relatively short piece of writing you will need 4 or 5 paragraphs. The first paragraph will be your
introduction. Paragraphs 2, 3 and perhaps 4, will contain the body of your answer, and the last
paragraph your concluding comments.
Allow at least 5 minutes for each question to check your answer. Look out for silly mistakes with
tenses, word order, spellings etc.
Advice

If you choose letter

If you choose story

ask yourself questions Who...? Where...? When...? Why...? How did I/he/they feel? What happened in the end?
plan your story before you write
Always
plan
use separate paragraphs
read through to correct grammar or spelling mistakes
write 100 words, or nearly 100, but not many more
