Avoid generic memorised openings and endings

English B HL practice for task-specific opening and closing.

Paper 1 6 marks Difficulty 5

Avoid generic memorised openings and endings: human ingenuity

English B HL language acquisition practice. This original stimulus is linked to the theme of human ingenuity and the context of a review of a study-planning app with AI summaries. A student is planning a 450-600 word Paper 1 written response for senior secondary students. What should they choose so text type, register, message development, organisation, and language choices match the task? Select the task focus, source clue, language choice, and communication judgement. Then answer in your own words: what should the student do next to strengthen this English B HL response? AI will analyse your communication, source or extract use, language accuracy, register, task fulfilment, and expression.

Worked practice: build the response

Work through the communicative task in order: task focus, source clue, language choice, then how well it communicates.
