A youth arts centre magazine publishes reviews submitted by its readers. Some editors want every review to appear with its writer’s name; others think readers should be able to submit reviews anonymously. The editors are considering how to handle reviews of workshops, performances and exhibitions.
Write an article for the magazine giving your views on how it should identify the writers of reader reviews. Consider the arguments for and against requiring names, then justify a practical policy the editors could use.
Your response will be assessed for communication and organisation, and for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation. The total includes 16 marks for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation.
