Key learning points
- Using a range of negative structures with a range of tenses adds strength and subtlety to your points.
- Take care when translating negatives into English. Consider word order carefully. Ne ...que is not negative in English.
- It is important to plan both the ideas and language needed and to think about structure when writing a longer text.
- It is important to create a checklist both for range of language and for accuracy when creating a longer text.
Keywords
Negation - two elements e.g. ne ... pas around the main verb expressing negative meaning
BORDER - acronym for extended writing
Common misconception
Longer written tasks do not require careful planning and structuring.
It is essential to carefully plan and structure longer written tasks to avoid students writing off the topic and their work becoming unwieldy. The use of the acronym BORDER helps students to plan and review a relevant response.
Teacher tip
Encourage students to consider both sides of the third bullet point in task C1 in their answer. This allows them to use a broader range of language and to show their ability to compare advantages and disadvantages of a situation.
Equipment
Mini whiteboards and pens would be useful if available.
