Dear students

Formal writing requires you to do a little writing before the exam. Remember the basics:

• Read the question carefully
• Consider your audience
• Adopt an appropriate tone
• Have a clear structure (introduction, body paragraphs, conclusion)
  
• Provide evidence to support your view
• Plan your answer
• Have topic sentences in your paragraphs
  
• Never be offensive
