These instructions always include a brief description of the situation, three points to consider, a set of opinions about the three previous points, and explicit instructions to write an essay. The topic will be a subject of general interest – you will not need any specialised knowledge.

CAE Writing Part 2

Candidates have to write a text from a choice of text types: email/letter, report, proposal or review. To guide them, they are given some information about the context, the topic, the purpose and the target reader.
