B1B2 - WRITING PRACTICE TEST
PART 1

 Practice 1: You have just moved into new school. Write an 80-120 words letter to your
friend – Veli Koh. In your letter, you should:
 Describe your new school
 Tell about reason(s) why you choose this school
 Tell what you like/don’t like about this school.
Sample 1:
Dear Veli Koh,
We have not seen each other for a long time. How are you? I hope you are good.
I have just moved into a new school. Because my father was transferred work to
Melbourne. So I had to move there with my family.
There is a big school with a large campus and many green trees. Especially, the school
has dormitories for boarding students. Teachers are friendly and nice.
Melbourne have many good schools, but only this school is near my new home. It takes
me ten minutes to go to school by bus. So I choose this school.
However, there has one thing I don't like that the canteen sells food more expensive than
at my old school. Perhaps because it is a large city, the price is higher than other places.
Well, I have to go now. Let me know about your recent situation.
Best wishes
Kevin Wood
Sample 2:
Dear Veli Koh,
It’s nice to hear from you? How about your family? Wish everything is good.
We moved to new house a few weeks ago and I change school. This school is smaller than
my old school. The school has six floors and a library. I haven't been to the school library yet.
My mother wanted me to learn in the school close to home. The whole city has only this
school is the closest to my home. It takes me fifteen minutes to go to school by bike. So I choose
it.
I like eating in the canteen because the food is very tasty and cheap. I also liked the flower

garden behind the school. It all grows orchids. Please tell me know about your school, too.
Best Regards
Kevin Wood

PART 2
Practice 1: Some people are interested in eating at home while some others are fond of eating
in restaurants. How about you? Which do you prefer: eating at home or eating in restaurants?
Sample 1:
Some people are interested in eating at home while some others are fond of eating in
restaurants. In my opinion, both ways of taking foods have some advantages and disadvantages. But
I prefer to eating in restaurants to eating at home.
In my mind, people want to eat in restaurants because of two reasons. Firstly, If you takes
foods from a restaurant or a food stores, you can save time spending to cook meal to do others things.
Especially single people and young people are very busy, so they often eat at restaurants instead of
cooking by themselves. Cooking involved going to the market to buy vegetables, spices, rice, meat
or fishes and it is really a difficult thing to do if you are very busy with work.
Secondly, I go to the restaurants so that I have a private space to discuss something. I think
that it’s easier to do a business when we eat and negotiate at the same time. Because restaurants offer
an overwhelming environment to attract the people. They offer music, calm environment and better
services. That makes people feel comfortable and more pleasant in order to proposal for a request
with partners.
In conclusion, eating in restaurants not only help me to save time but it also facilitate my
business. For this reasons, I like eating in restaurants than eating at home.
Sample 2:

Some people are interested in eating at home while some others are fond of eating in
restaurants. I usually eat in the restaurants more than, but I prefer eating at home. Because of two
reasons:
Firstly, cooking by yourself is much cheaper than going to eat out. Instead of spending money
for expensive meals at a restaurants, you can prepare for a meal and save lots of money for others
purpose. One friend of mine likes reading very much. She always cooks and eats at home to spend
more money buying books. I want to improve my English. So I have to eat at home to save money
for tuition fees English course.
Secondly, I think the eating time with family is importance. It helps the family get closer. If
you eat at home, you can spend more time with your family. While having dinner at home, you can
share their happiness and troubles in jobs with their folks or even talk about a television program they
like best.
In conlusision, I love to cook and eat dinner at home because of the reasons mentioned above.
I think most people have the same opinion with me.


Practice 2: You have watched a Youtube video about the problem of computer game
addiction in children. What do you think could be possible solutions to overcome the computer game
addition?
Write an essay to express your point of view about solutions. Use all notes below to give
reasons for your opinion.
1. Bad grades at school
2. No social life.
3….. (your own idea).
Sample 1:
These days the computer has become a part of many families. Though it is useful for every
member of the family in day to day life, so most of the children are addicted to the game. There are
some possible solutions to overcome the computer game addition.
Firstly, the addictive game makes children spend more time on playing games than learning.
This makes affect study results. Parents should let children know that computer games should only

be allowed after children have taken care of other responsibilities. For example, parents are strongly
advised to set a rule that video games can only be played after homework has been completed.
Computer games should be played no more than one or two hours per day - especially during the
school year.
Secondly, parents should let children learn courses like piano lessons, learn kungfu, learn to
dance instead of giving them have more free time to play games. Addiction to games keep children
away from social life, indifferent to everything and affect the psychological development.
Finally, sitting for hours playing games on the computer is very harmful for children’s eyes.
So one helpful tool for dealing with children addicted to computer games is the “Parental Control”
settings that are present on all modern game consoles. These password protected options usually allow
parents to control what their children play and how much time is allotted. On the PC side, access to
specific games as well as specific time limits can be set via 3rd party software solutions. Make sure
you learn how to set these options - they can be very helpful for helping children addicted to computer
games.
Sample 2:
Nowadays, children play computers game so frequently that some even play them more than
10 hours every day. This has caused some negative effects on children. There are some possible
solutions to overcome the computer game addition.
Firstly, parents should monitor their child’s video game time. You are parents, and thus you
are in control. If your children do not listen to you, removal of the game console or setting of
administrative control on the computer may allow you to better handle the problem. Because If the
children become addicted to computer game, they will become lazy in their life and they will no


longer concentrate on other important things they have to do. Day by day, as the computer game steals
their valuable time, they will not show an interest in studies and outdoor games. As a result, they will
not only become lazy but also they will not be physically sound. For example, my father bought my
younger sister a personal computer when she finished her 10th grade because she had got A+ in her
10th grade public exams. But when she became addicted to computer game, her rank dropped to Ain her 12th standard. So identifying the negative impacts of the addiction will help them focus on
positive improvements and getting back the things that they really are missing.

Secondly, children should read many books and go out on the weekends instead of playing
games. Because when they usually play computer game, they will become more habituated to a
computer game, they completely became a person with no social life, became indolent to do their
other activities such as studies, sports and the other extra routines.
Finally, playing computer game is harm to children eyes. While sitting in front of the
computer they do not realise that they are constantly sitting in the same position for longer hours
which results in back pain problem. So instead of playing computer games, they can choose to play
sports with friends.
