PRAGMATICS ACTIVISATION: WRITING

1 Read the question below.

An international research group is investigating attitudes to education in different parts of the world. You have been asked to write a report on education in your country. Your report should address the following questions:

  • What are the strengths and weaknesses of education in your country?

  • What educational developments would you like to see in your country?

2 Write your report (in 300-350 words). Consult the ‘Writing Bank’ section.

REPORT TIPS

  • The question gives you a logical structure for organizing your report, namely:

- Introduction (purpose of the report)

- Strengths (e.g. broad-based curriculum, continuity of teachers)

- Weaknesses (e.g. teacher motivation, no recognition of merit)

- Recommendations (e.g. more autonomy for individual schools)

  • It may be helpful to make a note of some words and phrases which you want to include/ for example:

A brief overview

A broad-based curriculum

A wide range of subjects

A balanced education

Continuity of teaching

Recruited on the basis of national lists

Reward merit

Motivation

Develop professionally
