"Keep the Library Open Later" is a C2 Proficiency Writing practice task (letter). 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 letter 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.
Your university plans to close its main library at 7 p.m. to reduce costs. Write a formal letter to the Dean of Students. Explain how the proposal would affect different students, assess the financial argument, and recommend a practical alternative. Write 280–320 words.
