These are the WJEC English language writing exam layouts for an article, a report, a letter, a speech and a leaflet (does not include review). Each slide include examples and detail for each part of the layout.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. All about writing
• Your guide to getting the best grade on the
writing paper
• Two non-fiction tasks – the first task is shorter
and worth 16 marks; the second is longer and
is worth 24 marks
• Spend an hour on this section – 25 minutes on
Q5 and 35 minutes on Q6
3. When you first open the paper
• Find a spot that you can scribble down a list of
all the techniques in DAFOREST and PERRIER –
You will be finding these terms in Question 4
but actually using them yourself on the
writing section.
4. Writing tasks – Find the GAP of each
• Before you start writing, jot down the GAP of each
• GENRE – What is it you are being asked to write? Next to
this, write down anything you know about writing for that
genre.
• Formality meter:
Formal --- Letter --- Newspaper article --- Magazine article --Blog/Website article
Eg. G: Magazine article (informal, chatty, sometimes uses
subheadings to split up sections, mention phrases like “regular
readers/subscribers” etc.)
G: Blog article – very informal, links to websites, has a easy to
understand title at the top, mention phrases like “Regular blog
readers will know…”
5. Writing tasks – Find the GAP of each
• AUDIENCE – Who is it for? You will likely be told
this in the question
• Eg. Write a magazine article about the
advantages of using public transport “for young
people”
• How can you show the examiner that you’ve
thought this through? Refer to things that young
people will know, reference things they will get
eg. “It’s not like you can rely on your parents and
pocket money forever”
6. Writing tasks – Find the GAP of each
• PURPOSE – What is the point? What does the
task ask you to do?
• It’s always a verb:
• DESCRIBE
• EXPLAIN
• INFORM
• ARGUE
• PERSUADE
7. 5
6
• Write the text for a leaflet to persuade young people in your area
to take part in an event for charity. The leaflet should be about:
The sponsored event of your choice
• Which charity the event is for
• Why young people should support the charity
• Remember to:
Write a leaflet
• Use language and techniques to help you persuade
8. Find the GAP in the following
questions
1. Write a letter to your school magazine which
argues for or against homework being set at Key
Stage 4.
2. Write a review for a teen website about a film or
TV programme you have seen recently
3. Write a report for your local newspaper which
offers advice on how to provide more facilities
for teenagers
4. Write an article for a teen magazine persuading
young people to stop smoking.
9. Structuring your writing
• Handy hints:
• Start each paragraph with a topic sentence. Topic
sentences introduce your paragraph. They let the
reader know what to expect.
• Link your paragraphs using connectives
• Time order: At first, Then, Later
• Logical order: Therefore, Consequently, As a result
• Contrast: On the other hand, In contrast
• Simple ordering: Firstly, Secondly, Finally
• Developing: Because of this, Also, Moreover, In
addition
11. Writing an effective opener
• For non-fiction:
• Try starting with your anecdote: This is Brian.
Every day is a struggle for him because he suffers
from…
• Start with a quotation (can be made up)
• 63% of 16 year olds don’t take enough exercise
• A rhetorical question
• Schools to close? Teachers to resign? This is not
some vision of the future – it is happening now…
12. Effective endings
• Ending is the last chance to convince the examiner you
are worthy of more marks!
• Summarise but don’t repeat your main points
• Try and use anecdotes, humour or statistics to
conclude.
• If you take anything from this speech, I want you to
remember that school uniform is unnecessary, it is
ugly and most parents can ill afford it. Why does this
school persist in making us students suffer in this
way? 97% of students and 87% of parents think that
students in Year 10 and 11 should be given the choice
to decide what they wear. Do the right thing. You
know it makes sense.
13. Question 6 practice
• Write the text for a leaflet to persuade young
people in your area to take part in an event for
charity. The leaflet should be about:
• The sponsored event of your choice
• Which charity the event is for
• Why young people should support the charity
• Remember to:
Write a leaflet
• Use language and techniques to help you
persuade
