Guest Sely1007 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hey guys, Can anyone give me a huge help on this? I'm taking English B HL and my teacher is making me very confused. I know that for Paper 2 we have to write different text types, but I'm not sure exactly how to write them -format- He has shown different formats for the text types but they all seem so similar between one another. Do you know where I can find sample formats or sample texts of every type? Introduction to speech, letters, proposals, journal entries, articles, blogs, etc... It would really help me out!

sameera95 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) I'm not sure about HL B languages, but my Spanish teacher just says: 1. a speech - write it as if you're speaking to an audience, introduce yourself and the topic and maybe end with a question? your tone should be formal/informal depending on who the speech is directed at 2. letters - start with date, dear sir/madam/friend (depends if formal or informal) and at the end yours sincerely/faithfully or a more informal ending if it's a friend 3. journal entries - dear diary, speak in the past tense, emotions, what you did that day etc. end it with something appropriate e.g. see you soon 4. newspaper articles - big heading, and write in 2 columns, use subheadings too. 5. email - write to and from, and the subject, the rest would be similar to a letter format. here is a list of past exam papers: EDIT: SORRY link isn't working! :/ go to www.freeexampapers.com > IB > English > English B > Higher, and the list should be there This is coming from an ab initio student, so I'm sorry if it isn't very useful. I hope this helps though! Edited March 2, 2014 by sameera95 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
