This series of single questions are all designed to prepare you for the fast-approaching GCSE English Language examination. If you complete one of these every week, and take on board the feedback I give you, you’ll be in a much stronger position than if you don’t.
This week’s homework question is a WRITING question. This question is trying to determine how well you can use specific language forms (read: devices) when you write. You are required to write in a style appropriate to the task and intended audience. Your spelling and grammar is specifically assessed in this question. It is question six, which can be seen as the more sophisticated of the two writing pieces.
For 24 marks, you would expect to take 35 minutes to answer the question. I recommend that you complete these weekly practices in the time allocated.
QUESTION:
Many people believe that it is our duty to cut back on our use of the world’s resources, and that we must invest in greener forms of energy for the future – whatever the cost.
Write an article for an environmental website which argues for or against this idea.
(24 marks)
