Use the vocabulary of the texts A, B, C and your own experience to write about your country or the place where you live.

Follow the structure of any writing in the English language, it consists of three parts: introduction, main body which includes sub-headings and conclusion. In order to complete a writing task successfully you need to understand the task fully.Your discursive essay/composition should be argumentative.

Any writing should contain the following information:

- the type of task: e.g. report, essay etc.;

- the situation and target reader;

- the style of writing: e.g. formal for a report, informal for a friend etc;

- the subjects/topics to include: e.g. include details of…, suggesting ways to…, etc.

Reread a draft of your writing first and pay attention to the correct use of tenses, sequence of your thoughts, correct punctuation and spelling, appropriate use of vocabulary, an interesting plot with an unusual beginning and slightly surprising ending as well as to the variety of descriptive language and writing techniques.
