Dear Grandad, about exams
In this question you will be assessed for the quality of your writing skills. 12 marks are awarded for communication and organisation; 8 marks are awarded for vocabulary, sentence structure, spelling and punctuation.
You should aim to write about 300 to 400 words.
At a family meal, your grandfather said that exams today are much easier than they were when he was at school, and that young people ‘don’t know they’re born’.
Write a letter to your grandfather giving your views.
