tips for the EvAU/EBAU writing task- redacción selectividad (EvAU)

(Updated 14th May 2024)

If you are sitting the EvAU English exam in a few weeks, this video and the resources below may help you prepare for the writing task:

• Watch this video for an explanation of some ‘tips’ to write essays:

Open the video in a new tab here .

You can download the presentation I’ve used for the video here .

In the description of the video you can find a timeline of all the points mentioned. If you click on any of the times, it will take you straight to that section, so you can skip parts you may have seen or you may not find interesting.

If you need them, you can watch the video with subtitles in English . Click on the subtitles icon.

2. These are the 7 tips summarised ( infographic ):

3. If you want to make sure that have understood the tips, you can have a look at the sentences I’ve collected from year 2 Bachillerato students. Analyse them, and then fill in this Google Form to get feedback to your answers:

• Click here to download the file with the sentences
• Click here to open the Google form in a new tab

4. Linking words and signposting – essential to make your text easy to read, clear, cohesive (indicating the relation between ideas) and coherent (making sense):

• linking words (B1)
• signpost language (B1)
• contrast clauses
• purpose clauses
• useful expressions for essays

5. These are the ‘ scary mistakes ‘ I refer to in the video: a series of grammatical mistakes which you shouldn’t be making at this level. Be very careful, and when you have finished writing your essay/email/…, re-read it to make sure you haven’t made any of them. They will give a negative impression of you.

• BBC News (articles and videos)
• CNN 10 – news explained in 10 minutes, transcripts and captions (subtitles) available

8. Finally, if you want to practise your writing, you can find some possible writing topics below:

• Should students have to wear school uniforms?
• Should standardised testing (such as the EvAU) at the end of Bachillerato be abolished?
• Education should focus on Maths and Science rather than Music and Art.
• Should 16-year-olds be given the right to vote?
• Should takeaways/fast food shops near schools be banned?
• Should electric scooters and bikes be allowed on the pavement?

Hola, Puedo tener acceso a los materiales a los materiales TIPS FOR EVAU ? O es para algún grupo en concreto? Gracias PILAR RIVERA

Hola, Pilar. Publicaré todo el jueves 21 a las 11.00. Es parte del CARLEE Kids . En el canal de YouTube del CARLEE Kids estará colgado el video. Pero aquí en el blog colgaré una versión algo más extensa del vídeo, así como el resto de recursos. Gracias por el interés.

Hola Natalia, Queria agradecerte por el contenido que subes por que me ayuda mucho. Tengo una pregunta, en la comunidad autónoma de país vasco los tipos de Writing que hay suelen ser opinion essay o otro tipo como for and against. Por ejemplo, estaba haciendo un writing y no conseguí adivinar que tipo de texto era y si me podrías ayudar. El texto dice lo siguiente: What do you do the night before exam? o What is the role of music in your life? que serían desciptive essay?

Gracias por el comentario. En ese caso, sí, sería más bien un descriptive essay, describiendo tu relación con algo (música, películas), o tus rutinas… Aunque sean de temática más personal, la estructura sigue siendo la misma (introducción, descripción/desarrollo de las ideas, conclusión). En este tipo de textos, sería interesante que utilizaras expresiones del tipo ‘in my experience’, ‘personally’, ‘as I see it’… ¡Mucha suerte!

Estructura y recomendaciones para que tu opinion essay sea perfecto

Si piensas estudiar una carrera en ingl茅s o vas a presentar una prueba de nivel, este art铆culo es para ti. Te explicaremos todo lo referente al opinion essay , lo que en espa帽ol ser铆a como un ensayo o art铆culo de opini贸n. Si no eres estudiante pero te interesa mejorar tu ingl茅s escrito, tambi茅n te funcionar谩.

Un opinion essay es un escrito formal en el que su autor puede plasmar su opini贸n sobre un tema en espec铆fico. La idea es que no solo presentes tu punto de vista, sino que adem谩s argumentes tu posici贸n, ya sea a favor o contra, con datos s贸lidos para poder generar una conclusi贸n final. Adem谩s de presentar los argumentos a favor, tambi茅n es importante presentar la visi贸n contraria a nuestra posici贸n. Este tipo de art铆culo es com煤n en las pruebas para obtener certificaciones de ingl茅s, en niveles como B1, B2 o C1. 

Recomendaciones para escribir un opinion essay

Antes de conocer la estructura para escribir un opinion essay en ingl茅s, veamos algunas recomendaciones que te ayudar谩n:

• Usa siempre un lenguaje formal , en este tipo de art铆culo no es v谩lido el lenguaje informal. No uses contracciones, phrasal verbs , ni idioms .
• Utiliza conectores que te permitan unir un p谩rrafo con otro con sentido. Evita repetirlos constantemente.
• Para redactar un opinion essay efectivamente, tu ingl茅s debe ser bueno , sino est谩s en un nivel intermedio o avanzado es mejor que te prepares antes de hacerlo.
• Cada p谩rrafo deber铆a tener una idea principal a desarrollar . Evita p谩rrafos y oraciones largas que cansan al lector.
• Antes de comenzar tu art铆culo define cu谩l ser谩 tu opini贸n , esto te ayudar谩 a estructurarlo adecuadamente. Esta posici贸n debes dejarla clara desde el inicio de tu escrito. 
•  Para hacer este tipo de art铆culos debes investigar ya que necesitas datos, hechos, fuentes que sustenten tu posici贸n.
• Escribe en un solo tiempo verbal , si es en presente simple , mantenlo en todo el art铆culo. 
• El t铆tulo es un punto clave en tu escrito, debes pensarlo bien. Evita titular con una pregunta. En el t铆tulo debe quedar claro tu opini贸n sobre el tema a tratar. 
• Mant茅n la objetividad en tu escrito, a pesar de que es un art铆culo de opini贸n no debes dejarte llevar solo por las emociones, trata de ser objetivo.
• Antes de escribir ten claro el objetivo de tu ensayo y el p煤blico al que va dirigido. Haz un bosquejo de las ideas principales, selecciona las m谩s importantes y descarta aquellas que no son v谩lidas.

Estructura para escribir un opinion essay

Antes de comenzar a escribir un ensayo opinion essay debes conocer la estructura correcta, que se divide b谩sicamente en tres puntos: introducci贸n, cuerpo y conclusi贸n. Veamos en detalle uno por uno para que comiences a escribir tu propio ensayo de opini贸n:

Introducci贸n

En este primer punto de nuestro escrito debemos ubicar al lector sobre qu茅 leer谩 . Como su nombre lo dice, la introducci贸n hace referencia a introducir nuestra visi贸n, es decir, dar una idea de qu茅 tratar谩 nuestro ensayo.

En este pre谩mbulo debes exponer el tema a tratar y enganchar al lector. Para esto puedes ayudarte con cifras, datos o hechos reales que sean atractivos y determinantes. Si tu introducci贸n no es lo suficientemente atractiva tendr谩s pocas posibilidades de que el lector contin煤e. As铆 que debes esmerarte por comenzar fuerte, claro y contundente. Para comenzar a introducir estos datos o hechos te dejamos algunas frases en ingl茅s que te funcionar谩n en tu opinion essay :

Cuerpo principal

Tras realizar la introducci贸n debemos comenzar a desarrollar nuestro art铆culo de opini贸n. Aqu铆 debemos exponer todos los argumentos que sustentan nuestra opini贸n. La recomendaci贸n es trabajar por cada p谩rrafo un argumento. Recuerda que los argumentos pueden ser en contra o favor de una posici贸n, todo depender谩 de la postura que te plantees asumir. 

Lo ideal es que comiences tu primer p谩rrafo del cuerpo del ensayo con el argumento m谩s fuerte, el que sustenta tu opini贸n. En el segundo p谩rrafo podr谩s exponer el segundo argumento m谩s importantes y as铆 vas sucesivamente explicando por p谩rrafo cada argumento en orden de prioridad. Normalmente los ensayos se componen de aproximadamente cinco p谩rrafos.

Para que tus p谩rrafos sean f谩ciles de leer debes estructurarlos bien. Evita las oraciones largas y p谩rrafos complejos. Ve al grano sin dejar de usar un lenguaje formal y siempre con un argumento que justifique lo que est谩s escribiendo. Para expresar opini贸n tendr谩s que usar algunas frases que te ayudar谩n a presentar tu punto de vista sobre el tema que est谩s escribiendo. 隆Toma nota!

Todas estas frases te ayudar谩n al momento que expreses tu opini贸n en ingl茅s en tu art铆culo de opinion essay . Debes escoger la m谩s apropiada seg煤n sea el caso, como ves hay unas m谩s formales y otras m谩s coloquiales y directas. Para que no siempre uses las mismas, puedes ir variando en cada p谩rrafo a medida que vayas explicando los argumentos.

Veamos algunos ejemplos para expresar opini贸n:

In my opinion, educator salaries need to be improved. / En mi opini贸n, es necesario mejorar los sueldos de los educadores. From my point of view, you have to regulate internet content. / Desde mi punta vista hay que regular los contenidos de internet. I disagree with current public policies. / No estoy de acuerdo con las pol铆ticas p煤blicas vigentes.

Para poder estructurar tus p谩rrafos con sentido utiliza como te mencionamos arriba los famosos conectores. Aqu铆 te dejamos algunos 煤tiles, pero te invitamos a leer nuestro art铆culo de conectores en ingl茅s (linking words) donde encontrar谩s much铆simos m谩s.

Hay much铆simos conectores que puedes usar, no uses siempre los mismos. De igual forma en la lista anterior te dejamos algunos que sirven para estructurar el orden de tus ideas. Aqu铆 tienes algunos ejemplos:

If you can consume energy, you can do work and, therefore , create more. / Si eres capaz de consumir energ铆a, puedes trabajar y, por lo tanto, crear m谩s. It’s very romantic, even if the language is a bit stilted. / Es muy rom谩ntico, incluso si el lenguaje es un poco forzado. But above all , I think it lost touch with its subjects. / Pero sobre todo, creo que perdi贸 el contacto con sus temas.

En la 煤ltima parte de tu opinion essay deber谩s realizar una conclusi贸n que concentre las ideas principales de tu escrito y termine de reforzar tu opini贸n al respecto. Muchas veces los estudiantes subestiman la conclusi贸n y no se esfuerzan en hacer un buen cierre, lo cual es un grave error. Tu conclusi贸n debe ser igual de importante que el resto del escrito, as铆 que no lo tomes a la ligera solo por poner fin. 

Aqu铆 te dejamos unas frases 煤tiles que te servir谩n al momento de indicar la conclusi贸n de tu opinion essay :

Veamos a continuaci贸n un ejemplo de un opinion essay partiendo de una pregunta ya formulada, es decir no partimos de un tema libre. Este es m谩s un estilo de prueba oficial, por ejemplo IELTS, donde te dan un tema en concreto y deber谩s presentar tu posici贸n al respecto:

It is argued that earning lots of money has more significance to people than being content in their work. This essay totally disagrees with that statement. I believe that people are increasingly concerned about the risk of stress-related ill-health frequently experienced by people in highly paid positions and they care more about feeling fulfilled at work. Employees who earn a large income are generally under significant mental and emotional pressure to perform well and achieve targets. This causes many individuals to suffer high levels of stress which can result in mental health problems. This happened to my uncle. He used to boast about his huge salary but the boss kept increasing his sales targets and in the end, the stress became too great and he had a nervous breakdown. Now he regrets being driven by the money. Having a job that they enjoy doing, and in which they feel valued, is a major concern for most of the modern workforce. A significant number of people are giving up well-paid positions to do jobs which pay less but that they find more enjoyable and less stressful. I am an example of this myself. A year ago I left the teaching profession because the workload had become too great, and I am now a gardener. I feel really fulfilled in this work and I am much more relaxed and happy even though I earn far less money. In conclusion, for a high percentage of the population, earning a substantial wage is less important than job satisfaction because of the negative effects of work-related stress and the desire to feel happy and fulfilled at work. (272 words)

Mientras domines todas las frases propuestas en este art铆culo, te ser谩 muy sencillo escribir tu opinion essay si ya tienes claro cu谩l es tu opini贸n y argumentos. Al finalizar la redacci贸n puedes recurrir a un corrector gramatical como herramienta para evitar cualquier error en tu escrito. As铆 que te invitamos a leer nuestro art铆culo sobre 驴cu谩l es el mejor corrector gramatical? para que tengas las mejores opciones a la hora de revisar tus art铆culos y as铆 entregar algo profesional sin errores gramaticales ni ortogr谩ficos.

Ahora que ya sabes que es un opinion essay , conoces su estructura y tienes claras las principales recomendaciones es momento de practicar. Para complementar lo aprendido te dejamos este video sobre c贸mo escribir un opinion essay , te ser谩 muy 煤til si vas a presentar una prueba en el nivel intermedio o alto para obtener una certificaci贸n del idioma. Este tipo de ensayos te ayudar谩n a mejorar tu writing , mientras m谩s escribas ver谩s que cada vez se te har谩 m谩s sencillo y adem谩s estar谩s enriqueciendo tu vocabulario, ya que te obliga a investigar palabras nuevas acordes a los temas a escribir.

Over the past, American popular culture has been strong in creating racial stereotypes. Images displayed through television, music, and the internet have an impact on how individuals behave and what individuals believe. People find their identities and belief systems from popular culture. Evidently, I believe that American pop culture has created racial stereotypes that predominantly affect other ethnic minorities. Analyzing the history of America reveals that African Americans have always had a problem defining themselves as Americans ever since the era of slavery. AfricanAmericans have always had a hard time being integrated into American culture. The result is that African Americans have been subjected to ridicule and shame. American pop culture has compounded the problem by enhancing the negative stereotypes ofAfrican American. In theatre, film, and music, African Americans have been associated with vices such as murder, theft, and violence.

The family systems theory has a significant revelation on family relations. I firmly agree that to understand a particular family or a member, they should be around other family members. The emotional connection among different family members may create functional or dysfunctional coexistence, which is not easy to identify when an individual is further from the other members. Taking an example of the extended family, the relationship between the mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law may be tense, but once they are outside the family, they can pretend to have a good relationship. Therefore, I agree with the theory that the existing emotional attachment and developed culture in the family is distinctively understood when the family is together.

Opinion writing is a form of academic paper that asks students to include their thoughts on a particular topic. This is then backed by a logical explanation and examples. Becoming more knowledgeable is a practical way to successfully learn how to write an opinion paper. Before writing anything, it is essential to refer to important information. That includes the definition, topics, opinion writing examples, and requirements. This is what turns amateur writers into master writers.

CELPIP SCORING – Key Tips: Writing/Speaking

Mastering CELPIP Scoring: A Comprehensive Guide

The CELPIP exam and its scoring is crucial for those aiming to achieve their immigration dreams in Canada. However, many students face repeated failures, especially in the writing and speaking sections. This guide provides detailed insights into CELPIP scoring, highlighting common mistakes and offering practical advice to help you succeed. Our focus will be on grammar and vocabulary, with examples for better understanding. Let’s dive into the intricacies of CELPIP scoring.

Why Do Students Fail CELPIP?

Students often fail the CELPIP exam due to inadequate preparation and misunderstanding of key requirements. This course not only explains why students fail but GUARANTEES your results or your MONEY-BACK! With 100,000 copies sold, check out why this course has the internet’s best reviews (IMMEDIATE ACCESS AVAILABLE): HZAD Education CELPIP Classes .

The Importance of Grammar and Vocabulary

Grammar is a fundamental aspect of CELPIP scoring. Mistakes in grammar can significantly impact your overall score. Tools like Grammarly can assist with writing, but their accuracy is only about 70%. For speaking, you need personalized feedback from a teacher. At HZAD Education, our qualified CELPIP teachers will guide you on grammar and other essential aspects. Here’s an example:

• Incorrect: “He go to school every day.”
• Correct: “He goes to school every day.”

Vocabulary is equally crucial. Basic vocabulary won’t suffice; you need advanced words to score high. For instance, instead of saying “bad,” use “detrimental.” Our CELPIP course includes a list of 1,000 essential words to enhance your vocabulary. Examples:

• Basic: “The results were bad.”
• Advanced: “The results were detrimental.”

Understanding the CELPIP Marking Scheme

The speaking section evaluates several factors: coherence, vocabulary, listenability, and task fulfillment. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

Coherence and Content

Coherence refers to how well you organize your thoughts. For example, in part six of the speaking test, you might need to deliver bad news. Use a structured approach:

• Greeting : “Hello, I hope you’re well.”
• Situation Explanation : “I have some unfortunate news.”
• Apology : “I’m sorry to inform you that…”
• Alternative : “However, I can offer this solution…”

Use advanced vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. Avoid clichés like “it’s raining cats and dogs.” Instead, use phrases like “going the extra mile” or “kick the bucket.”

Listenability

Maintain a steady pace, pause between sentences, and use a confident tone. Emphasize key words and phrases to sound natural.

Task Fulfillment

Ensure you answer the question directly. For instance, if asked about a time you helped someone, focus on that specific instance rather than general experiences.

Writing Section Insights

The writing section is evaluated similarly to speaking but includes additional elements like punctuation and capitalization. Here’s what you need to focus on:

Use a mixture of simple and complex sentences. For example:

• Simple: “We need to plant trees.”
• Complex: “Since the garden looks dull, we need to plant more trees to enhance its appearance.”

Use precise and varied vocabulary. For instance:

• Basic: “The view is beautiful.”
• Advanced: “The view is breathtaking and serene.”

Readability

Organize your essay into clear paragraphs. For task one, use five paragraphs: introduction, three body paragraphs, and conclusion. For task two, use four paragraphs: introduction, two body paragraphs, and conclusion.

Example Structure for Task One (Formal Email)

• Introduction : State the purpose.
• Body Paragraph 1 : First main point.
• Body Paragraph 2 : Second main point.
• Body Paragraph 3 : Third main point.
• Conclusion : Final greeting.

Example Structure for Task Two (Opinion Essay)

• Introduction : State your opinion.
• Body Paragraph 1 : Positive points.
• Body Paragraph 2 : Negative points.
• Conclusion : Rephrase your opinion.

CELPIP Speaking and Writing Templates

To better understand these concepts, check out our CELPIP speaking and writing templates. These resources provide structured approaches to answering each type of question effectively.

Example Speaking Template

• Greeting : “Hello, it’s nice to meet you.”
• Situation : “I wanted to discuss a recent issue.”
• Explanation : “Unfortunately, we encountered a problem…”
• Solution : “To resolve this, I suggest…”

Example Writing Template (Opinion Essay)

• Introduction : “The debate on environmental conservation is ongoing.”
• Body Paragraph 1 : “One significant benefit of conservation is…”
• Body Paragraph 2 : “However, some argue that it can be costly…”
• Conclusion : “In conclusion, while there are costs, the benefits of conservation outweigh them.”

Effective Preparation Strategies

Grammar and vocabulary practice.

Regular practice is key. Use tools like Grammarly for writing and seek feedback from a teacher for speaking. Study advanced vocabulary and practice using it in sentences.

Understanding Marking Criteria

Familiarize yourself with the CELPIP marking criteria. Understand what the examiners are looking for in each section.

My Obsession

An Artist’s Collection of Eerie Spiritual Ephemera

Over the past half-century, Tony Oursler has amassed thousands of esoteric pieces, from polaroids of apparitions to paintings of Satan.

By Julia Halperin

Inside a former synagogue on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Tony Oursler , 67, has built an extensive private collection of historic material related to magic, spirituality and the occult. The artist, who’s known for installations that combine video, sculpture and projections, has both an artistic investment in and a family connection to illusionism. His grandfather Fulton Oursler was a mystery writer and magician who delighted in exposing scammers he believed were weaponizing the craft.

What began five decades ago as a few folders of slides and fliers has grown into an apartment-filling archive encompassing color theory, UFOs, automatic writing and more. “The material I have is a barometer for people’s belief systems,” Oursler says. On a recent afternoon, several boxes of spirit photos, seance drawings and manuscripts were due to be shipped to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass., where they’ll be included in the forthcoming exhibition “ Conjuring the Spirit World: Art, Magic and Mediums .” The archive also inspired a series of installations by Oursler related to fairies, crystals and historic hoaxes in the recent show “Smoke & Mirrors: Magical Thinking in Contemporary Art” at the Boca Raton Museum of Art in Florida.

The collection: Ephemera related to the occult, spirituality, pseudoscience and technology.

Number of pieces in the collection: Between 3,000 and 5,000.

First purchase: “In the 1970s, I was taking art classes at Rockland Community College [in New York State]. Someone came in with a Kirlian photography machine, which produced something like aura photography. I kept a photo and, from then on, I kept other unusual things, like cult-related fliers that were often handed out to young people on the street at the time.”

Most expensive: “An album of rare spirit photos taken during seances by William Walker of the Crewe Circle, a well-known spiritualist group in the early 1900s. They were around $14,000.”

Least expensive: “A Polaroid of an apparition of the Virgin Mary in a glass structure in Clearwater, Fla. I got it on eBay for $7.”

Most precious: “A few things related to my grandfather. Arthur Conan Doyle sent him an image of ectoplasm with a handwritten note. My brother has a wand that Harry Houdini gave him as a gift. My grandfather and Houdini, who were friends, were both debunkers of psychics.”

Weirdest: “A painting of Satan that I bought from this character who worked in a funeral home. He sent it to me in the cloth they use to line caskets. I don’t really collect that stuff anymore.”

Most famous: “A photo of Mary Todd Lincoln being visited by the spirit of Abraham Lincoln by William Mumler, the first spirit photographer. Although there are copies of that photo around, I happen to have an original one.”

Longest sought after: “I just got a book from the 1830s that I’d been looking for since the late 1990s: the memoir of Étienne-Gaspard Robertson, a practitioner of the Phantasmagoria, which was a fusion between theater and spook shows that used magic lanterns to cast images of spirits onto surfaces. He was one of the original installation artists.”
