2. Detailed Guide to the Task
   Clear advice is given on “Focusing on the Data, Observing Key Points and Structuring the Information”.

3. Annotated Graphic
   This highlights what key points need to be dealt with in the response.

4. Model Answer
   The writing models are examples of very good responses to the task which would score very highly in the exam.

5. Answer Comments
   The detailed notes that follow each response highlight the features of the response that make it excellent.
