This book is ideal for helping secondary school students improve description writing in preparation for the GCSE and IGCSE English Language exams.

The description task represents between 25% and 30% of your overall mark (depending on your exam board), so practise using these model answers and see your marks rise.

Each chapter contains an exam task and a planning checklist designed to help students do regular timed writing practice. There are also twelve complete model answers to help students understand what a good description looks like.

Each model answer demonstrates what the examiners are looking for:

• powerful, varied vocabulary choices
• extensive use of figurative language technique
• vivid sense of place
• cohesive and varied grammar
• accurate spelling and punctuation
