The first thing the examiners will look at is your task response. They want to see whether you have understood the question and whether you've answered the question appropriately. They also want to see whether you've got clear ideas, which you've supported and developed in your body paragraphs.

Practice activity 7.1: Understanding the topic and task

You only have around 40 minutes to write your answer to Task 2, and therefore it is natural to feel as if you are in a hurry. However, you should always take the time to read the question carefully, and make sure you understand both the topic and the task. If you do not understand the topic and the task, you cannot write an appropriate answer to the question. This means you will be unable to achieve a high score for task response.
