Your school magazine is planning an article about learning a new skill. Some pupils think articles should focus on the finished achievement; others think they should also describe the practice and mistakes along the way.

Write an article for your school magazine giving your views on what pupils should share about learning a new skill.

You could include:

• what someone might learn and how they might practise
• what readers could gain from hearing about the process
• how to make the account interesting and honest.

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.
