The Ultimate B2 First Writing Guide

This guide covers the main writing tasks that appear in the Cambridge Assessment English test called B2 First (FCE). These tasks are: essays, articles, reviews, reports, emails & letters. This book provides 3 sample tasks and answers for each type of writing, plus more than 300 useful expressions that candidates can use in their writings for B2 First. Ideally, students should use these samples as models for their own writing tasks, making use of the helpful expressions provided at the end of each section. Besides the sample tasks and expressions, this guide also contains a brief description of B2 Writing Part 1 and Part 2, a full description of every task type, guidance on developing an appropriate writing strategy, a description of how writing is assessed and a sample mark sheet which can be used to assess students' performance or as a self-assessment tool. In general, this writing guide is aimed at students of English as a foreign language who are interested in improving their writing skills with a view to obtaining their B2 First certificate (previously known as FCE), and at teachers who want support B2 writing material to use with their own students.
