Take Positive Stepstrans

You may have many errors in your compositions.

It is important to work on fixing mistakes in verbs, spelling, and so on.

But you will improve further by studying what the examiners are looking for.

These descriptions show you. If your writing is type '4' now, then perhaps you should work on having better organised paragraphs, and some more interesting vocabulary.

If you have paragraphs that deal with just one topic, but which link in a few words to what came before and to what comes next, you will be moving into type '2'.

In each of the categories, aim to learn the skills which will move you higher as you work through the year.

Check "Step Two" for more detail.

Hints and Help for Composition - the marking schedule
Here you see the categories used for judging composition.

Check where you are now, and what is recommended if you wish to improve.
For example, do you need to write sentences of different lengths, and with
different conjunctions?
