"Reviving the Weekly Local Market" is a C2 Proficiency Writing practice task (proposal). 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 proposal 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.
The organisers of a weekly local market have asked for ideas to increase visitor numbers. Write a proposal that explains why the market may be struggling, recommends changes to the visitor experience, and suggests how local businesses could be involved. Write 220–260 words.
