XANTHIPI THEOPHANOUS 1,Section B: Transactional
Writing
This section in the exam comprises TWO responses. ONE is compulsory. The other is a choice between
two formats. You should spend approximately 20 minutes on each response. Any THREE of the following
formats will be examined:
Blog
Speech
Open letter
Editorial
Eulogy
What you need to know (taken and adapted from the IEB Subject Assessment
Guidelines 2023):
Questions in this section will be based on a response to a given text/ photograph/ advertisement/ literature
studied. The focus of the question is the ability to construct an appropriate personal response to the
prompt, and to choose the correct format, style and register for the given context, purpose and
audience. The body of each piece should be between 250 and 300 words in length.
Quick Tips:
Your writing is a PERSONAL RESPONSE to the article or text given to you – do NOT summarise the
information given to you. When examining the prompt, focus on what it makes you think and feel and
consider what you have seen or read or experienced that can help you substantiate the validity of your
response.
Look at the instructions and consider:
Format & Purpose
Tone & Register Audience
Jot down some ideas that you can organise into coherent paragraphs. Remember an introduction, body
and conclusion.
