Question 174

A website for teenagers is collecting reviews of local places that young people might use.

Write a review of a local library, whether based on a place you know or one you create, giving your overall judgement and considering how welcoming and useful it is for teenage visitors.

To help readers, make sure that your review:

  • gives a clear overall judgement near the beginning
  • describes at least two features of the library
  • explains one thing that works particularly well for teenagers
  • identifies one aspect that could be improved
  • ends with a recommendation.

Your work will be assessed on communication and adaptation to audience and purpose (27 marks), and organisation and technical accuracy (18 marks).
