Writing

Establishing audience, purpose and form allows you to choose the most appropriate language, tone and structure.

Writing fiction is an opportunity to come up with creative and original ways of using language. You might find inspiration from your own experiences or from your imagination.

Non-fiction texts are those that deal with facts, opinions and the real world. Many non-fiction texts follow specific conventions of language and structure.

It’s always a good idea to plan before you write. You can gather your main ideas, list vocabulary you’d like to include and map out your structure in a way that makes writing easier.

Well-organised writing is easy to follow and understand. Points follow on from and build upon each other to lead to clear conclusions.

Writers use language to create different effects. Learning how to use these will make your writing more engaging.

Make your writing interesting and lively by using a wide range of vocabulary. Use specific words to convey your meaning.
