You may wish to indicate where you would use illustrations and what they would show, but you will be rewarded for the quality of your writing, not your illustrations. 4. This is an extract from a letter that appeared in a newspaper: The mobile phone is the most appalling invention of the last century. It has taken away our privacy and encouraged all kinds of anti-social, and sometimes illegal, behaviour. The technology may be very impressive but the consequences have been very worrying. Mobile phones have certainly changed our lives, but not for the better. Write a letter in reply, giving your opinions about mobile phones. 5. The County Council have made the decision to close your high school as a money saving initiative. You will be forced to join another school nearby.
