Each section contains information on each topic and gives examples and tips. This is given to my learners before their assessments and has helped them a lot.

P2 Explains the marking criteria and what learners need to include in their writing in order to pass the assessment
There is a guide on how to correctly format the following: letters, emails, articles, reviews and reports. I have also provided picture examples on how each text should be formatted.
Learners are then given tips on how to ‘bulk out’ their writing by using word association. A practice exam question ‘scenario’ is given. It also includes a visual step by step guide on how to use word association to generate ideas.
