Write a description of a very hot place as suggested by this picture:

[A picture showing a vast, dry, cracked-earth landscape under a hazy, orange sky. A bright, white sun hangs in the sky, and distant, hazy mountains are visible on the horizon. The foreground is detailed, showing the texture of the parched ground.]

Write a story about a disagreement.

1. Choose one task: the description or the story. 2. Plan your response. For a description, think about the five senses and how you can structure your writing (e.g., starting with a wide view and zooming in). For a story, plan a simple plot with a beginning, a build-up of tension, a climax, and a resolution. 3. Use a wide range of ambitious vocabulary and varied sentence structures. 4. Employ literary devices like similes, metaphors, and personification to make your writing more engaging. 5. Pay close attention to spelling, punctuation, and grammar. 6. Leave time to proofread your work at the end.
