    hello Phil I had today my exam in B1 preliminary and I wanted to ask you about the writing part. Is it something bad if I wrote more than 100 words? So I wrote my Email abiut like 170 words. I answered all the questions but I just write it like usual how we do it in class. In my class level we are familiar to write long text and in the article part the same thing I wrote also there like 200 words because I liked very much the topic about the article and I just put my opinion and all the things there. Do you think that will make a difference when they correct it? Thank you very much for your response!

    I haven't seen your text so I can't really tell you, but if you write so much more than 100 words, there is a chance that not everything is really relevant to the task. However, your text might be very good. If everything is relevant and you explained your ideas well, then there shouldn't be a big problem.

    It always depends on the task and the target reader. If the reader is a teacher, for example, the article should be more formal. If the reader is a peer-group like other students, it can be more informal.

    Hi Upa, a colloquial expression is an expression that we typically use in spoken English. One example would be to say 'I ate heaps of food last night.' Heaps is colloquial as we would normally say something like 'a lot'. I hope this example makes it a little bit clearer.

    It's about the language you use. Adjectives and adverbs make your writing more interesting. Instead of saying "It's a mobile phone.", you can say, "It's a green mobile phone." The word 'green' already makes the description more interesting. I hope this answers your question. :)
