B1 PRELIMINARY WRITING: PARTS 1 & 2

In the two parts of the B1 Preliminary Writing paper, candidates have to show that they can write different types of texts in English. There are two parts, and they have 45 minutes to complete both parts.

PET Writing Part 1

Candidates are provided with a message they have received by email. The text is annotated with a set of prompts presented as notes. Candidates have to read and interpret the email and respond to it accordingly. In their answer, they must include the four content points in a response of around 100 words.

PET Writing Part 2

Candidates have to write a text from a choice of two text types: article or story. These different types of tasks are designed to provide situations and contexts in which candidates can put together and develop their ideas on a subject, with a specific purpose for writing, target reader and context in mind.
