Practice Essays with Examples
In Task 1 of the C1 Advanced Exam, you will have to write an essay. You must answer it and it is not optional. You will:
be given the essay topic.
be given three ideas to write about. You must write about two of these.
need to answer a question about the two topic you've chosen.
need to give an opinion and support it with reasons.
need to write around 220 and 260 words.
In Writing Part 1, you need to show that you can use language appropriately to do things such as:
Agreeing or disagreeing
Giving opinions
Giving information or explanations
Giving reasons
Giving examples
Comparing and contrasting ideas and opinions
Drawing conclusions
Of course having good strategies are key to writing a good response, but it's also good to have quality examples as well.
I have prepared model answers for the questions in this section, and have included my planning for you to review. I have tried to stick to the planning schemes and advice given in this website as best as possible. Remember, there are many ways to write a high-scoring essay, and your planning schemes, strategies and essay layouts may differ.
Note:
My responses may not be perfect since I wrote them within the time limit.
Some examples or facts have been made up. Remember: The C1 Advanced Exam is not a knowledge test; it's an English test.
I may not actually believe all the opinions written since, as I said, some things have been made up.
I have left all of my notes so you can see what could go into planning.
