An excellent resource that I would definitely use with my students to prepare them for the writing exam. As we are currently remote teaching, I also think this resource can be used by students independently to practise a range of skills such as writing in different tenses before they complete a writing task. Part 1 – I think this section is fantastic because it of allows students to build up their knowledge of grammar, teaches them to plan and allows them to annotate essays before they have a go at writing their own. I also like the fill in the gap activities and the opportunities that these exercises present for student to practise their reading comprehension skills. Parts 2 & 3 are huge teacher savers as they provide a wide range of all questions that appear on the writing paper and the model answers to use with them. Superbly well, the Understanding AOs provides the clearest of guidance on what the students are expected to write for each question on the paper. I would happily purchase this resource for my department and based on this resource, I would also purchase the French one. – L Howe, Head of Department & Peer Reviewer
