Continue the beginning of an article with a coherent account of what happened next. Keep the setting and people consistent. Link the events clearly and use verb tenses that make their order easy to follow.
Respond to a statement with your own position. Develop your reasons with specific examples and organise them into paragraphs. Your reader should understand both what you believe and why.

A simple routine, from your first attempt to your next improvement.
For a story, sketch the main events. For an opinion, choose your position and supporting reasons. Give each paragraph a clear job.
Write in the exam editor with a word counter and French-character keyboard. Your answers are saved to your account, and the timer keeps running if you leave the page.
Submit your response to review the task, organisation, arguments and language. AI feedback points to examples from your writing and suggests a focused next exercise.
See how a vague paragraph becomes a clear news report. Explore complete Section A sample answers, then practise developing your own arguments for Section B.
First draft · excerpt
Il y avait un problème. Les gens étaient inquiets. Les pompiers sont arrivés et ils ont réglé le problème.Revised version · excerpt
Les pompiers ont inspecté la salle et identifié un appareil défectueux. Après les vérifications, ils ont autorisé les spectateurs à rentrer. Le concert a repris avec quarante minutes de retard, ce qui a obligé les organisateurs à raccourcir la pause.Original TEF Practice teaching material.
The revision identifies the cause of the alarm, explains why the audience could return and connects the delay to a decision. Each sentence develops the event instead of repeating that there was a problem.
For your next draft, check three things: what happened, what caused it and what changed as a result. These excerpts illustrate a revision; a complete Section A continuation still needs at least 80 words.
Expression écrite lasts 60 minutes: 25 minutes for Section A and 35 minutes for Section B. The tasks require at least 80 and 200 words respectively.
