Key learning points

  1. Using a range of negative structures with a range of tenses adds strength and subtlety to your points.
  2. Take care when translating negatives into English. Consider word order carefully. Ne ...que is not negative in English.
  3. It is important to plan both the ideas and language needed and to think about structure when writing a longer text.
  4. 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.
