"Libraries After 2030" is a C2 Proficiency Writing practice task (article). Cambridge assesses content, communicative achievement, organisation and language on a scale from 0 to 5 per criterion. Plan before you write: identify the target reader, the required register and the number of points you must address. At C2, examiners expect sophisticated vocabulary used accurately, varied sentence structures and clear paragraphing.
Plan the article before writing, address every prompt point, keep the expected register, respect the word limit, and use feedback to improve content, organisation, grammar range, and vocabulary precision.
A community magazine is running a series on public services. Write an article arguing what role libraries should play in the future. Describe the needs they can meet beyond lending books, assess the challenges they face, and persuade readers that a particular priority deserves investment. Write 280–320 words.
