• You should read the two input texts very carefully.
Each text, approximately 100 words in length, will
present contrasting or complementary views on a
topic. It is important that you learn to identify the
key points in each of the texts, as these points will
form the basis of your essay. Candidates must
integrate a summary of these points, an evaluation
of the abstract arguments involved and their own
ideas on the topic in a coherent essay.

• Candidates may, of course, use key words from the
question, but must avoid ‘lifting’ whole segments of
the input. No credit will be given for language or
ideas that have not been appropriately expanded on
or integrated into their writing.

• Because of the discursive focus of this part of the
paper, students need to be equipped to discuss a
range of topics. Reading and discussing articles in
English on a variety of issues will help them to
develop their ideas and extend their vocabulary in
order to cover the arguments raised in the texts
