A SHORT STORY is usually written for an English-language magazine or anthology, or a website. The main purpose is to engage the interest of the reader. Effective answers have a clear storyline which links coherently to the prompt sentence and demonstrates a sound grasp of narrative tenses.
In the short story, students should be aware of the importance of developing a clear and coherent storyline from the prompt sentence. There is ample scope for imagination in this task, and the use of interesting adjectives, adverbs and expressions should be encouraged. Good use of linking words, particularly time expressions, is also important in this task.

Review
A REVIEW is usually written for an English-language magazine, newspaper or website. The main purpose is to describe and express a personal opinion about something which the writer has experienced (e.g. a film, a holiday, a product, a website etc.) and to give the reader a clear impression of what the item discussed is like. Description and explanation are key functions for this task, and a review will normally include a recommendation to the reader.
Students should read as wide a range of reviews as possible, such as those for holidays, books, television programmes and consumer goods. They should use of appropriate adjectives, describe and explain. They also need to give an opinion, positive or negative, and make a recommendation.
