Writing
Since January 2026, Writing is three task types: Build a Sentence, Write an Email, and Write for an Academic Discussion.
Question Types
Build a Sentence
10 sentencesArrange the given words into a correct sentence. Find the subject and verb first, then place the rest around them.
Write an Email
about 7 minutesReply to an everyday situation. Cover every point the task lists, in a polite and direct tone.
Write for an Academic Discussion
10 min · 100+ wordsAdd your view to the professor's question. Respond to a classmate's idea rather than repeating it.
Key Strategies
- 1.Build a Sentence tests word order: questions, time clauses and conditionals come up often.
- 2.In the email, give each required point its own sentence so none is missed.
- 3.Open with a clear purpose: 'I am writing to…'. Close with what you would like to happen next.
- 4.In the discussion, state your position in the first sentence, then give one reason and one example.
- 5.Leave a minute to check verb tenses and spelling.
