Model text

Hi Tom, I am looking forward to seeing you on Saturday. Shall we meet outside the central station at 11 a.m.? From there, we can walk to the food market and have lunch. After that, I thought we could visit the photography exhibition nearby. It closes at five, so we should have plenty of time. If the weather is bad, we can go directly to the museum instead. Please let me know if 11 works for you, or suggest another time. I can change the plan if necessary. See you soon, Mark

Language focus

Build connected B1 writing:

Use clear topic sentences and support them with specific details.

Connect ideas with words such as because, however, for example, although, finally when they fit the task.

Develop, do not only list:

Explain why, add an example, or show a result.

Use a mix of simple and longer sentences, but keep every sentence easy to understand.

Remember:
At B1, your reader should be able to follow the text from beginning to end without guessing how the ideas connect.
Specific details and reasons make your writing stronger than general statements.
