- Open the 2023 2023 EAL e-exam, Question 2(a). Task focus — State the purpose of the language-program advertisement and support it with one example. Attempt it before consulting the marking guidance, then identify the evidence or working that supports your answer.
- Open the 2023 2023 EAL e-exam, Question 3(a). Task focus — Write two questions you could ask the course representative, using correct English question word order and question marks. Attempt it before consulting the marking guidance, then identify the evidence or working that supports your answer.
- Record the specific point you missed, write a corrected response, and attempt another question that requires the same skill. Check older material against your current course before reusing it.
Plan your next practice session
Choose one response from your practice sequence. Identify its main claim, underline the evidence and explain how that evidence answers the question. Revise any claim that is broader than its support.
