In the lesson you will:  \n• review the format and focus of the Writing Part 1 paper  \n• research a topic online in English  \n• make notes on useful ideas and vocabulary to help you write a discursive essay  \n• learn useful strategies for planning, writing and reviewing your written work.  \nGet to know the exam: Writing Part 1  \nThe C1 Advanced Writing paper has two parts. Part 1 has only one task, which you must answer. You will:  \n􀀹 be given the topic of an essay and a set of notes consisting of 3 bullet points and 3 quotes  \n􀀹 be asked to choose two of the bullet-pointed ideas to write about  \n􀀹 need to give an opinion and support it with reasons  \n􀀹 need to write between 220 and 260 words  \n􀀹 have 45 minutes to complete each writing task (90 minutes in total for the Writing paper) .  \nTop exam tip! Make sure you answer all parts of the question.  \nUnderline the key points in the question before you start. Only write about two of the bullet points and stick to the word count. Make sure you know what 220 to 260 words look like in your handwriting; you don’t want to waste time counting words in the exam.  \nYour essay will be assessed according to these four criteria:  \nAssessment Criteria 1  \n• Content –how well the task has been completed; for example, has all the important information been included in the piece of writing?  \n• Communicative Achievement –how appropriate the writing is in terms of genre; does the text communicate the ideas appropriately and effectively to the target reader?  \n• Organisation –the way the text is organised; for example, are the ideas presented coherently and are they connected through the text across sentences and paragraphs?  \n• Language – vocabulary and grammar; for example, is there a range of vocabulary and grammatical structures and how accurately are they used?  \n1 © UCLES 2020 -get more information about the Assessment Criteria for Writing here [https://www.cambridgeenglish.org/Images/286979-improve-your-english-checklist-c1.pdf](https://www.cambridgeenglish.org/Images/286979-improve-your-english-checklist-c1.pdf)  \nTop tip! Use the P.O.W. E. R. process to write your practice essays:  \nP = Prepare-Do your research, narrow down your topic, brainstorm ideas.  \nO = Organise-Choose your best ideas, write a plan or outline of your essay, think about paragraphing.  \nW = Write it!  \nE = Edit your work. Check carefully for errors or unnecessary repetition.  \nR = Review and Reflect -When you practise for the exam, have someone else check your work too and think about what you can improve on next time.  \nYou are now going to work through a series of steps that will guide you towards planning and writing a successful essay.  \nIn this lesson, you decide on the topic, and conduct online research to help you plan the points you want to cover and write about in the essay.  \nStep 1: Prepare to write-choose and research your topic  \nDoing research on different topics and making your own writing practice tasks is a great way to build your vocabulary and confidence on common topics in the exam, including those you feel less confident about. Read, think and complete the following tasks:  \n1. Are you a technophobe or a technophile? Do you think the following are beneficial or dangerous to society? Why?  \n• artificial intelligence  \n• social media  \n• the Internet  \n• online learning  \n2. Choose one topic from the list above that you find interesting, and use the Internet to research it in English, e.g. social media.
