Question 12

The skill-swap day

You attended a community skill-swap day, where local people ran short practical sessions for visitors.

The organisers are considering replacing advance booking with a first-come, first-served drop-in system at the next event.

After the event, 60 teenage visitors completed a survey.

Survey findingNumber of teenage visitors
Trying an unfamiliar skill was a main reason for attending46
Attended with a friend or relative38
Could not get a place in at least one preferred session29
Found the timetable difficult to follow14

Write a review of the event for a local magazine aimed at teenagers. In your review, evaluate the day and judge whether replacing advance booking with a first-come, first-served drop-in system would improve a future event.

Use the information in the table. You may invent further details, but they should be consistent with the information provided.

You could include:

  • the activities and atmosphere
  • what worked well and what let the day down
  • the likely effect of the proposed change and whether you would recommend it.

You may also use your own ideas.

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.
