Bài mẫu A

Examiner Comments: All three content elements are adequately dealt with within the word limit. However, the reference to swimming in the sea is not appropriate to the 'countryside' specified in the rubric and second bullet point (though this may be a language error, for 'lake). On the whole, the message is communicated successfully. It is not necessary for candidates to include the format details of an e-mail

Bài mẫu B

Examiner Comments: In this script, only the second content element has been adequately dealt with. Although the candidate sounds enthusiastic ('I could enjoy'), this does not amount to thanking the friends. With regard to the third point, the candidate suggests meeting again, but doesn't mention where. Two content elements are therefore unsuccessfully dealt with.

Bài mẫu C

Examiner Comments: This is a very goad attempt, covering all content elements appropriately. Although language errors are present, they do not affect the clarity of the message, which would have a positive effect on Mary and Fred.
