Dear Leo,
Every question has its own page with ideas or overview points, vocabulary and a band-8 model answer.
Education, technology, the environment, work, health, cities and transport, crime and government come up again and again, along with family, media, culture and globalisation. The questions change, but the themes repeat, so practicing across these themes prepares you for most papers.
Opinion (agree or disagree), discussion (discuss both views), advantages and disadvantages, problem and solution (or causes and solutions), and two-part questions. Some lists add positive or negative development as a sixth. The last line of the question tells you which one you have.
At least 250 words, and you should spend about 40 minutes on it. Most strong answers are 270 to 320 words. Going far over leaves less time for checking and does not earn extra marks.
At least 150 words in about 20 minutes, for both the Academic report and the General Training letter. Task 2 carries twice the marks of Task 1, so do not let Task 1 run over.
