Task 2: the survey response, step by step

By Michael Ukwuma

The Choose, Compare, Close frame for picking one option and defending it well.

Task 2 describes a situation and two options. A survey asks which one you prefer and why. You have 26 minutes and 150 to 200 words. There is no email format here. No greeting, no sign off.

Our frame is called Choose, Compare, Close.

Choose

In your first sentence or two, state your choice clearly, in your own words. Do not copy the option from the question. Do not sit on the fence. 'Both options are good' wastes your opening and a rater has seen it a thousand times.

Smart choice. Choose the option you can explain best, not the one you secretly like. You are being marked on your argument.
