How to write an article (B2-C1)

Writing an article is a very common piece of writing for EOI's exams so let's practise with it. This entry is for both levels (B2.1 and C1) as you may be asked to write an article in the exam.

But first of all, we need to know how to write an article, the parts we can distinguish and the way to organise it. To help you I think you can use these links or tools:

• a useful video about writing an article
• a guide to write articles by
• this entry of a blog about articles in the exams of EOI's for B2 and C1; it's in Spanish but it's quite clear and with examples.

The topics you may use for writing an article could be one of these:

• the use of technology   or    some devices I can't live without
• how we could be more eco-friendly    or    the climate change
• traffic in your town    or     public transport in your town
• a turning point in your life   or  what I'd like to change in my lifestyle

The task you should do is to write an article about one of the previous topics. Pay attention to the organisation of the article and what kind of article you are using. This time we'll work with opinion articles so you can watch this short video to see how to do it and then write the composition bearing in mind the task as it follows:

• B2.1 : 150-175 words
• C1: 200-225 words 

Remember to reread and check your piece  of writing before giving it to me for marking.
