CSF Framework
Context → Skill → Formula. The foundation of every response.
Make It Real
Invent names, places, and details to boost your score.
Task 1: Email
5-part formula: Opening → Intro → Body → Closing → Sign-off.
Task 2: Opinion
PRE technique: Point → Reason → Example for every argument.
Golden Rules
- NEVER use contractions (don't → do not, can't → cannot)
- ALWAYS use organization words: First of all, Second, Finally
- Answer ALL questions from the prompt — missing one drops your score
- Task 1: Always include “Please let me know if...” before sign-off
- Task 2: NEVER say “Option A” or “Option B” — paraphrase instead
- Generic = low score. Realistic details = high score
- Keep introductions SHORT — max 2 sentences
- Word count matters: 150-200 words, no more, no less
