Practise writing before the exam

1:03

90% of

1:03

those results papers it's the writing

1:06

score which is the lowest and I'm sure

1:09

that's because the students haven't

1:11

practiced the writing tasks in some

1:13

cases the first time they've ever

1:15

written an essay in English or report in

1:17

English or an article in English is on

1:20

the day of the exam and it's very

1:22

difficult to get a high score in the

1:24

writing paper if you've never practiced

1:26

because these are very tough tasks the

1:28

time is limited and you have to do a lot

1:31

and include a lot of grammar and

1:33

vocabulary in quite short texts and

1:36

sometimes it can mean the difference

1:37

between a pass and a fail or at least

1:40

the student just not getting the result

1:42

that they were really aiming for now

1:44

it's understandable really that a

1:46

student will avoid practicing the

1:48

writing tasks there's some kind of

1:51

psychological barrier to sitting down

1:53

with a blank page or a blank Word

1:55

document and just writing something

1:57

especially if you don't write regularly

1:59

in your own language right to to write

2:01

in a second language is much more

2:03

difficult but if the first time you ever

2:05

write an essay in English is on the day

2:07

of your exam
