My Favorite Place: The Old Medina

The old medina of Fez is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. As soon as you enter the narrow streets, you are transported to another time. The smell of spices and fresh bread fills the air, and the sound of merchants calling out to customers echoes through the alleys.

The medina is full of vibrant colors. The traditional tiles, called zellij, decorate the walls with intricate patterns. The handcrafted leather goods, the colorful textiles, and the beautiful pottery are a feast for the eyes. Every corner of the medina tells a story of the city's rich history and culture.

Visiting the old medina is like stepping into a living museum. It is a place where tradition and modern life coexist harmoniously.

Writing task

Describe a tradition without generalising about everyone. Plan your answer before writing. State the main idea, explain it and support it with a relevant example. Keep the details realistic and the language respectful. This is an original practice prompt, not an official examination task.

A useful plan

Opening: introduce the issue. Development: give a reason or explain an event, then illustrate it. Ending: answer the question or draw a reasonable conclusion. For a narrative, use chronological order; for an opinion, use logical connections. Follow any word limit specified by your teacher.

Practise and explain your answer

01How will you improve your first draft?
Check whether it answers the actual question. Remove repetitions, add an example and correct verb forms and linking words.
02What makes an example convincing?
It is specific, relevant to the main idea and explained. It should not be an unsupported statistic or an invented quotation.
