Writing Instructions
• Choose either Task 1 (Email/Letter) or Task 2 (Essay). Write on only ONE of these tasks.
• Once you have chosen your task, darken the circle for “Email/Letter” or “Essay” on your writing answer
document.
• You will have 30 minutes to write your answer.
• Use #2 (soft) pencil only.
• Use only the lines provided on the writing answer document to complete this section. You should write about

Writing Prompt
Task 1: Email
A local high school is planning to replace printed textbooks with ebooks. The principal of the school would like
students to give their opinion.
• Write an email to the principal expressing your opinion about whether the school should replace traditional
books with electronic ones. Give reasons to support your ideas.
• Start your email, “Dear Mr. Davies.”

Task 2: Essay
Having a pet can improve the quality of a person’s life.
• Write an essay on whether you agree or disagree with the statement above.
• Include specific reasons and details to support your opinion.

USEFUL IDEAS
Task 1: Email
For ebooks:
ebooks are cheaper than printed books, are environmentally friendly (trees need to be cut down to produce printed
books), are convenient (all textbooks can be stored on one device, students’ schoolbags would be lighter), have
interactive content (e.g. hyperlinks to find more information online, highlighter)
Against ebooks:
too much screen time is harmful for students’ eyesight, an ebook reader can break easily (e.g. the screen can
crack, not all ebook readers are waterproof), some students find it easier to learn from printed books, students get
easily distracted when they use digital devices (they can get online and do other things)

Task 2: Essay
Agree:
pets are great company and make people happier, keep people fit through play and daily walks, boost people’s
mood and help reduce stress, teach people patience and responsibility, reduce people’s loneliness and can help
them make friends
Disagree:
taking good care of a pet is hard work (e.g. cleaning, feeding, training), having a pet requires time and commitment
(you cannot leave it alone for long, you get a pet for life), saying goodbye to a pet is a painful experience (you get
attached to it), people should make sure they can cover the necessary expenses (e.g. food, vet)
