CELPIP Writing Guide
Task 1 email examples, Task 2 samples, writing templates, and a checker — everything for CELPIP Writing.
Task 1 format and scoring priorities
Task 1 asks you to write an email for a realistic situation. Strong responses cover every prompt requirement, match the audience tone, and stay organized.
- ✓State the email purpose immediately.
- ✓Cover every prompt bullet with specific supporting detail.
- ✓Use a clear opening, body, and closing.
- ✓Match formal or friendly tone to the reader.
Task 2 format and scoring priorities
Task 2 is a survey-style opinion response. Choose one option clearly, support it with practical reasons, and finish with a short conclusion.
- ✓State your position before developing the reasons.
- ✓Give two or three specific reasons, not vague opinions.
- ✓Compare options briefly only when it strengthens your choice.
- ✓Reserve time for a final clarity and grammar check.
Use a framework, not a memorized script
A template should be a skeleton, not a copied essay. Examiners notice unnatural memorized language. Adapt openings, reasons, and vocabulary to the prompt.
Band descriptors and scoring focus
Writing scores reflect content/coherence, vocabulary, readability, and task fulfillment. Use the writing score guide and checker to find your weakest criterion.
