    Section 1: Directed Writing

    You are advised to write between 200 and 300 words.


    Total marks for this part: 30 (15 for Task Fulfilment and 15 for Language).

    Task
    Your Principal wants to make an award to a student who has done something
    special for the school. The award can be made to any student and for any good
    reason. You are asked to write a letter recommending a particular student to be
    given the prize.

    Write your letter. You must include the following:

    • who the student is (such as name and other relevant details) so that the
    Principal knows exactly whom you are describing

    • what the student has done to deserve the award

    • what would be an appropriate prize for that particular student and why it
    would be so suitable.

    Cover all three points above in detail. You should make your letter persuasive
    and helpful for the Principal. Start your letter ‘Dear Principal,’ and remember to
    provide a suitable ending.
