STAGE 1: ANALYSING THE TASK
Do not start writing immediately: it is essential that you take at
least a few minutes to make sure that you fully understand what is
required by the task. To do this you must answer three questions:
What is the question?
Who is the audience?
What are the task requirements?
What is the question?
The task description may be quite long. The critical first step,
there fore, is to locate the question itself. This is usually
printed in bold type.
EXAMPLE:
How are diamonds produced?
Where are diamonds produced?
TASK 1
Circle the topic words in the following questions. The first one has
been done for you as an example.
EXAMPLE:
What are the arguments used to justify or oppose the tropical
logging industry?
1. What are the factors which are related to academic success in
high-school students?
2. What kind of listening challenges do overseas students face in
tertiary education? What recommendations would you offer?
3. Do the benefits of studying abroad justify the difficulties? What
advice would you offer to a prospective student?
4. Discuss the benefits and risks of TV for young children.
Understanding 'to what extent' questions
Some questions, such as 'How is hygiene ensured…'….
EXAMPLES:
1. To what extent is a knowledge of statistics indispensable for
study in tertiary institutions?
2. How far does a knowledge of statistics contribute to success in
tertiary study?
3. To what degree is a knowledge, of statistics useful in tertiary
study?
4. What level of statistical knowledge is necessary for tertiary
study?
These questions cannot be answered with 'yes' or 'no'. In order to
answer them, it is useful to 'translate' them into questions which
can be given a 'yes' or 'no ' answer. This will help in the next
stage of writing: preparing a plan.
Who is the audience?
