NCFE English Level 2 October 2019 – Writing

There has been a lot of bad weather in your area recently which has resulted in accidents to pedestrians, cars and cyclists. It has been made worse because the council has not carried out any gritting or salting to roads or pavements. It feels as if the council has forgotten about where you live.

You decide to write a letter to the council. In the letter you should include examples of what has happened and what you think the council should do. You should send your letter to The Manager, Highways Department, Ivyton District Council, High Street, Ivyton IV1 1VI.

You work as a volunteer at the Bain Animal Sanctuary. The Sanctuary is desperately short of volunteers and your manager has asked you to write an advertisement feature to appear in the local newspaper.

Write the advertisement feature from the viewpoint of a volunteer, giving details of where the sanctuary is, the animals you look after, the sort of work you do and what you get out of it. The local newspaper has said that advertisement features should be 250 – 350 words.
