How to practise writing
Form is the cheapest mark on the paper. A Summarize Written Text answer outside 5–75 words, or not a single sentence, scores zero for form.
Use explicit linking words. Coherence is scored on visible structure, not on the elegance of your ideas.
Leave two minutes to re-read. Most lost grammar marks are typing slips, not knowledge gaps.
