Make each paragraph answer the task

A paragraph drifts from the question

Band 5–7 · About 10 minutes

The band range helps you choose a practice focus. It is not a level assessment. Use paper or speak aloud; nothing is saved here.

01

Diagnose

Answer on paper or aloud before opening the check.

For “Should towns fund evening buses?”, does a paragraph about car colours answer the task?

Compare my starting answer

No. Explain a reason for or against funding evening buses.

02

Understand

A topic match does not ensure a task match. Each paragraph needs a claim, an example and a link to your position. Label imagined examples as hypothetical.

03

Solve

  1. Turn the instruction into a planning question.
  2. Choose one qualified position.
  3. Give each body paragraph a different reason.
  4. Add an example and explain its link.

04

Practice

Original prompt: Town councils should fund shared kitchens where residents can cook together. To what extent do you agree or disagree? In eight minutes, write a position and one body paragraph. Use a hypothetical example. This is a paragraph drill, not a complete essay.

Check my answers

Use these checks with your own response. They do not produce a score.

  • Does my claim address public funding?
  • Is my example labelled hypothetical?
  • Have I explained how the example supports my position?

05

Verify

Underline the sentence connecting evidence to your position. Tomorrow, try a new prompt about funding public rehearsal rooms.
