      10.6 How Much Should I Write? You should try to write between 200 and
300 words. An essay with three to five short paragraphs should be enough to
demonstrate your writing ability. Remember, your essay will be scored on
quality, not on quantity

      10.7 How Is the TWE Scored? The test is scored on a scale of 1 to 6. The
following quidelines are used by the readers: 6 shows consistent proficiency ["is
well organized", "addresses the topic", "includes examples and details", "has
few errors in grammar and vocabulary"]

      5 shows consistent proficiency ["is well organized", "addresses the topic",
"includes fewer examples and details", "has more errors in grammar and vocabulary"]
      4 shows minimal proficiency: ["is adequately organized", "addresses most of the
topic", "includes some examples and details", "has errors in grammar and vocabulary
that occasionally confuse meaning"]
      3 shows developing proficiency: ["is inadequately organized", "addresses part of
the topic", "includes few examples and details", "has many errors in grammar and
vocabulary that confuse meaning"]
      2. shows little proficiency: ["is disorganized", "does not address the topic",
"does not include examples and details", "has many errors in grammar and
vocabulary that consistently confuse meaning"]
      1 shows no proficiency: ["is disorganized", "does not address the topic", "does
not include examples and details", "has so many errors in grammar and vocabulary
that meaning is not communicated"]

like that on the Test of Written English

     First, tell your reader what you are going to write. Second, write it. Third, tell
your reader what you wrote.
     To look at these steps another way, your composition should have three parts:
     1) a good beginning;
     2) several good comments;
     3) a good ending.

      10.8.1 A Good beginning

     This is where you tell the reader what you are going to write. A good beginning
has certain requirements.
     A good beginning is short. Two or three sentences is enough to tell your reader
how you plan to approach the topic.
     A good beginning is direct. In case of a chart or graph, state the relationship
between the two charts or the parts of the chart in your first sentence. In the case of a
