Let's begin by discussing the format of article and report writing. For both pieces, you must start with a catchy title followed by some introductory lines. Can anyone tell me why a title is crucial?
Because it grabs the reader's attention and gives them an idea of what to expect!
Correct! After the title, you'll want to have sections that logically present your ideas. For articles, these are usually divided into an introduction, body, and conclusion. Can anyone outline what goes into each part?
In the introduction, we state the topic and purpose, the body has the main ideas, and the conclusion wraps up our thoughts.
Exactly! Remember to ensure your ideas flow logically from one section into the next. Let's use the acronym PBC: Purpose, Body, Conclusion. This will help you remember the structure.
So, the title and the introduction are super important for setting up everything else!
Yes! To summarize, always start with a strong title, follow with the introduction, develop your body logically, and finish with a solid conclusion.

Now, let's focus on coherence and clarity. Why do you think it's vital in our writing?
If our writing isnβt clear, the reader won't understand our main points!
Right! Coherence means your ideas should connect logically. A good way to achieve this is through transitional phrases. Can anyone give an example of a transitional phrase?
Maybe 'on the other hand' or 'furthermore'?
Perfect! Using these can help bridge your ideas. Remember, coherence ensures that the reader can follow your arguments easily. Is everyone clear on how to create coherence?
Yes! We just need to use transitions and ensure our points relate to the topic clearly.
That's right! To wrap this up, clarity hinges on clear language, and coherence relies on logical structure.

If our grammar is wrong, it can confuse the reader and change the meaning!
Absolutely! Correct grammar helps convey our message accurately. What are some areas we should focus on to avoid mistakes?
We should check our tenses, subject-verb agreement, and also punctuation!
Great points! Remember, accurate grammar enhances professionalism in your writing. Letβs summarize: Always proofread to catch mistakes.

Now, letβs put theory into practice. Iβll give you a prompt, and youβll write a short article. The prompt is: 'The Role of Technology in Education'.
Can we follow the PBC structure for this article too?
Exactly! Start with a captivating introduction stating the relevance, then discuss technology's impacts in education, and finish with a concluding statement. Begin writing!
What if I run over the word limit?
Good question! It's crucial to stay within 120-150 words, so practice being concise. Focus on impact words and avoid repetition.
This is a bit challenging but fun! Iβm excited to write.
Thatβs the spirit! Donβt forget to review your article for coherence and grammatical accuracy before finishing.

Article/Report Writing (5 Marks): Approximately 120-150 words. These pieces are descriptive or analytical, often based on provided verbal inputs. Marks are awarded for format, coherence of ideas, richness of content, and grammatical correctness. You will choose one from two given questions.
Detailed Explanation
When tasked with writing an article or report for your English exam, your response should be between 120 and 150 words. This type of writing can either describe a situation or analyze an issue. You will be provided with verbal inputs that will guide the content of your writing. Your answer will be evaluated based on several criteria: the correct format of your article or report, how logically your ideas are structured, the depth and richness of your content, and grammatical accuracy. Importantly, you will have to choose one question out of two options given.
Examples & Analogies
Think of writing an article or report like telling a story to a friend but in a structured way. Imagine you just attended a cool festival. If you were to write about it, you'd not only share the fun details but organize it into sections: an introduction to the festival, what you experienced (describing the events), and perhaps your opinions at the end about what you liked or didnβt like.
Criteria for Evaluation

Marks are awarded for format, coherence of ideas, richness of content, and grammatical correctness.
Detailed Explanation
When you're evaluated on your writing, it's essential to follow a specific format. This means structuring your piece properly, ensuring it has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Coherence of ideas refers to how well your thoughts connect to one anotherβyour readers should easily follow your argument or narrative. Richness of content means that your writing should be informative or insightful, adding depth to your topic. Lastly, grammatical correctness is crucial. Your writing must be free of spelling and grammar errors, as these can distract readers and diminish your credibility.
Examples & Analogies
Consider this like preparing a dish for a cooking competition. Just like the judges look for the correct recipe (format), flavors needing to blend well together (coherence), the use of fresh ingredients and spices (richness), and that nothing is burnt or incorrectly seasoned (grammatical correctness). Each of these elements contributes to the final dish's overall impression.
Choosing the Right Question

You will choose one from two given questions.
Detailed Explanation
In the exam, you will face two prompts for article or report writing, and your task is to choose one that resonates with you or one you feel most prepared to write about. This choice is crucial, as writing something you're interested in or knowledgeable about can make it easier to produce a better-quality piece. To make an informed choice, think about what each question is asking, and consider your familiarity with the topic, as well as potential ideas you already have in mind.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine youβre at a buffet with two delicious dishes to pick from. One dish is your favorite, and the other is something new youβve never tried. The smart choice would be to go for your favorite since you're likely to know how to enjoy it well when it comes time to describe how great it was. Similarly, in your exam, picking the question you feel comfortable with can lead to a more confident and engaging result.
