The stimulus material does not need to be directly addressed in your writing – it is designed to get your creative juices
flowing by opening the relevant mental gateways!

In reality these 3 related purposes are combined in this part of the exam with ‘Comment’ tending
to be the dominant approach

Think of yourself as a feature writer for a magazine or newspaper – your editor
tasks you with producing 250-300 words on a range of subjects for a
weekly column.
The subjects are all driven by social or cultural issues of interest to the readers – this is basically the task the examiners
are setting here

You will have 35 min to write a focused essay which responds to the question which will be
related to the stimulus topic

The key to securing a good mark in this task is making good use of thinking and planning
time

You should make brief planning notes in any format that suits you and then order your ideas to fit the 5 paragraph

Experimentation on animals is essential. Without it our treatment of terrible diseases would still be in the Dark Ages, with unnecessary human suffering on a worldwide scale.
Older people who own a pet are likely to extend their own lives by up to two years with companionship proving to be an important factor in their general health.
Ordinary people are not prepared to pay the price for free range meat products. Cheaper mass produced food is often the only option for many families living close to poverty

A change is as good as a rest – we all need change to freshen up our lives.
Many more teenagers than ever before are concerned about their health and are taking up exercise as a result.
Many people believe that change is not always for the best and that traditional ideas and ways of living have much to commend them.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence – people are never satisfied with what they’ve got.
