Proficiency Optional writing (Part 2)

Length: 280-320 words


(But candidates will not be penalised for exceeding the upper limit).
A Letter
...is written in response to the situation outlined in the
question.
Letters in the Cambridge English Proficiency Writing paper
will require a response which is consistently appropriate for
the specified target reader, and candidates can expect to be
asked to write letters to, for example, the editor of a
newspaper or magazine, to the director of an international
company, or to a school or college principal.
A letter to a newspaper or magazine may well include a
narrative element which details personal experience.
Other letters may be more concerned with giving factual
information.
