CELP12 English Mock Preparation

Independent CELPIP-style preparation

CELPIP Writing practice: plan, write, then repair.

A useful practice session does more than produce a first draft. Check whether your response answers every part of the task, sounds appropriate for its reader and is easy to follow.

A simple writing routine

  1. Plan the purpose. Who will read this, and what action or information do they need?
  2. Cover each task point. Give every requested detail a clear place in your response.
  3. Review for clarity. Check the opening, paragraph order, tone, specific examples and closing.

Try an original email prompt

You enrolled in an evening course at a community centre, but the first class has moved to a time you cannot attend. Write an email to the course coordinator. Explain the scheduling problem, say why you still want to take the course and suggest a reasonable solution.

Before you draft, make a three-point plan:

  1. State which course you joined and what changed.
  2. Explain the conflict and your interest in continuing.
  3. Ask about another session, a transfer or a suitable alternative.
Show a review checklist

After writing, check that you addressed all three requests, used a polite tone for a coordinator, and made your proposed solution specific. Replace vague phrases such as “I have a problem” with the actual scheduling conflict. Read the email once more for missing words and repeated ideas.

Improve the next attempt

Choose one issue from your review—such as missing a task point or writing an unclear request—and rewrite only that part first. Then complete a new timed response. This makes each attempt a deliberate improvement rather than a repetition.
