About this resource

This IGCSE ESL Writing Exercise 6 review resource is based on Public Places and Services and focuses on a review of new library space. It gives learners a complete step-by-step lesson for the review option in Paper 1, moving from the exam-style task to a model answer, analysis, language work, planning and independent writing.

The resource helps students notice how a review can sound engaging but still controlled for an exam audience. Learners explore how the model uses an opening hook, clear description, balanced positives and negatives, useful topic vocabulary and a final recommendation. The activities also draw attention to register, organisation and the language choices that help a review guide the reader naturally.

Teachers can use it as a full lesson, a guided writing sequence, or a revision resource before students write their own response. It is designed to sit alongside the review planning banks: this version gives a model text and scaffolded analysis, while the planning bank offers extra exam-style practice tasks.
