13/28

Checking list

What to check for

to make a checklist of your own personal mistakes and check for those mistakes.

Grammar

Penalized more heavily for systematic errors: these are errors that you makeconsistently.

Verb tenses: make sure they are consistent and in task 1 that your tenses matchthe time frame in the graph

Articles: this is something for everyone to check for. Articles are the mostcommon words in English and often go wrong. To get band 7 or over most of

your sentences need to be correct: this means your articles need to be correct.

Subject-verb agreement: this means he does not he do. Even to quite a highlevel this is a relatively common mistake. The problem being that it is also a basic

mistake that examiners will penalise more heavily Parts of speech: this is another relatively low level mistake that is also quite

common particularly with Asian language speakers. Check that you use nouns,

verbs and adjectives when you need. This is particularly an issue in task 1 when

using trend language (a sharp rise, but to rise sharply).

Range of sentence structures: this one may surprise you, but it is important ifyou want band 6 or above to vary your sentence structures. It is not enough

always to use simple but correct language.

Vocabulary

Repetition: under exam conditions looking for repetition is perhaps the areawhere a candidate can most improve their writing. It is relatively easy for a

candidate to see that they have repeated words and to correct this mistake.

Repetition (2): check that you have not repeated whole phrases and sentencesfrom the question

Spelling: check that you get at least the basic words rightCoherence

Again, this is another area that sometimes does not get checked. You do need tothink about this as it accounts for a large part of your mark.

Topic sentences: each paragraph starts with a topic sentence that clearlyrelates to the question

Paragraph development: each paragraph is developed with explanations andexamples of the topic sentence. In task 1 this includes having enough detailed

information and facts.

Connecting words:make sure that the connecting words you use are accurate. Afrequent mistake is to overuse connecting words.

Answering the question

Introduction: check that your introduction addresses all parts of the question Conclusion: check that your conclusion gives an answer to the question

What not to do


14/28

Whatever you do, dont count the words. That is a complete waste of exam time.If you are worried, count how many words you write in one line and then count

how many lines your writing is. (Words like a and an still count as words).

Summary

Make a checklist of your personal mistakes: you need a teacher/expert user forthis

Practise how and when you are going to edit your writing: try different ideas, seewhat works best

Have an exam strategy for timing: the reason candidates dont check is they runout of time.

ARTICLESHappiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of

ripples. As Stevenson has said, being happy is a duty.

There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of

reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids andso-called failures, who are extremely happy.

Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend. But staying happy is an accomplishment, a

triumph of soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves

and others.

Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer.

He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. There is, however, a cure so simple

as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous; if you dont feel happy, pretend to be!

It works. Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. You

discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.

Then the make-believe becomes a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind, and canforget yourself in being of service to others.

Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into

unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.


26/28

The love of beauty is an essential part of all healthy human nature. It is a moral quality. The

absence of it is not an assured ground of condemnation, but the presence of it is an

invariable sign of goodness of heart. In proportion to the degree in which it is felt will

probably be the degree in which nobleness and beauty of character will be attained.

Natural beauty is an all-pervading presence. The universe is its temple. It unfolds into the

numberless flowers of spring. It waves in the branches of trees and the green blades of grass.

It haunts the depths of the earth and the sea. It gleams from the hues of the shell and the

precious stone. And not only these minute objects but the oceans, the mountains, the

clouds, the stars, the rising and the setting sun---all overflow with beauty. This beauty is so

precious, and so congenial to our tenderest and noblest feelings, that it is painful to think of

the multitude of people living in the midst of it and yet remaining almost blind to it.

All persons should seek to become acquainted with the beauty in nature. There is not a

worm we tread upon, nor a leaf that dances merrily as it falls before the autumn winds, but

calls for our study and admiration. The power to appreciate beauty not merely increases our

sources of happiness---it enlarges our moral nature, too. Beauty calms our restlessness and

dispels our cares. Go into the fields or the woods; spend a summer day by the sea or the

mountains, and all your little perplexities and anxieties will vanish. Listen to sweet music,

and your foolish fears and petty jealousies will pass away. The beauty of the world helps us

to seek and find the beauty of goodness.


27/28

Strange is our situation here upon earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why,

yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose.

From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here

for the sake of other men above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own

happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are

connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and

inner life is built upon the labors of my fellowmen, both living and dead, and how earnestly I

must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received. My peace of mind is

often troubled by the depressing sense that I have borrowed too heavily from the work of

other men.

I do not believe we can have any freedom at all in the philosophical sense, for we act not

only under external compulsion but also by inner necessity. Schopenhauers sayingA

man can surely do what he wills to do, but he cannot determine what he willsimpressed

itself upon me in youth and has always consoled me when I have witnessed or suffered lifes

hardships. This conviction is a perpetual breeder of tolerance, for it does not allow us to takeourselves or others too seriously; it makes rather for a sense of humor.

To ponder interminably over the reason for ones own existence or the meaning of life in

general seems to me, from an objective point of view, to be sheer folly. And yet everyone

holds certain ideals by which he guides his aspiration and his judgment. The ideals which

have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and

truth. To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me; a system of ethics

built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle.


28/28

A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for

there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best

company, whether it be of books or of men.

A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it

will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back

upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness;

amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.

Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just

as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a

third. There is an old proverb, Love me, love my dog." But there is more wisdom in this:"

Love me, love my book." The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel,

and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and

he in them.

A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for

the world of a man's life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best

books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished,become our constant companions and comforters.

Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of

human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with

great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author's

minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from

the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothing

in literature can long survive e but what is really good.

Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest

minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see the as if they were really

alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experiencebecomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which

they describe.

The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk

abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which on still listens.
