Eight Task 2 sentences. Four are correct. Mark the four that are not.
Eight families you cannot avoid — so an error in one of them repeats all the way down your script.
Whatever the Task 2 question is — education, technology, cities, work — you will end up saying that something is important, useful, valuable, necessary, or that it has benefits and advantages.
That is what makes this sprint different from the last one. You could write an essay and never need the word imagination. You cannot write an essay and never need the word important.
So an error here is not a single mark. It repeats. If you write is very importance in your introduction, you will probably write it again in body paragraph one, and again in your conclusion. The examiner sees the same error three times and reads it as a pattern rather than a slip.
One idea, three shapes: a thing, an action, a description.
One meaning. Three shapes. The sentence decides which one you need.
Twenty words. Sort them by shape, not by meaning.
Sort each item into the correct category
Three decisions built on the two signals that almost never lie.
