Dear students,
Today is your mid-term test. Part one of the test will be to explain a chart or graph. This should take about 20 minutes and you should write at least 150 words. The second part of the test will be to write an essay of over 250 words, and this should take about 40 minutes.
You have 70 minutes to complete this IETLS-style test. Unlike IELTS tests, however, you will be graded only on the best of your two essays, not on the average of your two scores. It is up to you, therefore, whether you wish to attempt both parts, or focus only on one.
Citations are unnecessary, and you may not use a dictionary.
Kind regards,
