Competition Entry

This competition sounds very interesting to me, so the writing must be very well planified, to make the judges see that you are really interested, because there may be a lot of candidates.

I would say that I´m a very good candidate for the prize, as I´ve always taken English very seriously, and because it´s something important for my future job. This could be the introduction of my competition entry.

Then I would write a first paragraph in which I would answer the two first questions of the announcement: I will say that I find English something enjoyable to study, and the reasons why, and then I would link this with the ways I learn it and put it in practise. The reason why I would answer these two questions in the same paragraph is because if I like studying English, then it´s normal to think that I don´t just study it as something compulsory at school, but I also use my free time to learn it.

Finally, I will explain how I expect to use English in my future job and personal life. This may give a general vision of why I want to be a good English speaker, with which I would definitively try to persuade to the judges of the competition.

  1. Good explanation, Marta, but I would suggest you edit your entry as I've spotted some basic mistakes.
    See you this evening

  2. Hi Marta!

    In general, I agree with you on what you have thought to answer each question, although I prefer a five-paragraph structure, as I said in my post. It may seem that I separate the answers too much, but I think in this way is much clearer. I think that the more questions we must answer, the more different types of structures we can think.

    See you!
