About B1 writing worksheets

At B1, learners write straightforward connected texts on familiar topics and can express opinions, describe experiences and narrate events. Key genres are the informal email, the article for a school or club magazine and the short story, each around 100 words, as in the B1 Preliminary Writing paper.

Worksheets take students through the process: analyzing a model, practicing useful language such as giving advice, expressing opinions or setting a scene, planning paragraphs and then writing to a word limit. Controlled exercises target B1 language points including narrative tenses, relative clauses and a wider range of linkers.

Teacher copies include answer keys and sample answers. Print or download each worksheet as a PDF in A4 or US Letter, or assign it online through a class link that needs no student account.

Teaching tips: B1 writing worksheets

Teach students to plan three or four short paragraphs before writing, even for a 100-word text.
Ask learners to engage the reader of an article with a question or direct address in the opening line.
For stories, insist that the given first sentence is followed logically and that the ending is clear.
Use sample answers for peer marking with a simple checklist based on content, organization and language.
