About B2 writing worksheets
B2 writers produce clear, detailed texts on a wide range of subjects, developing an argument and giving reasons for and against a point of view. Genres include the discursive essay, article, review, report and formal or informal email or letter, typically 140–190 words, matching the B2 First Writing paper.
Each worksheet analyzes a model for organization, register and cohesion, then practices the language that raises a text to B2: complex sentences, a range of linkers, precise vocabulary and appropriate formality. Planning frames help students develop a third idea of their own in essays and choose a suitable structure for reports and reviews.
Answer keys and sample answers are included in the teacher copy. Print it or download a PDF, or share a class link so students can write and submit online with no account needed.
Teaching tips: B2 writing worksheets
- Teach the difference in register between an article, a report and a formal email explicitly with side-by-side models.
- Require a paragraph plan with topic sentences before students start drafting.
- Ask students to highlight their linkers and complex structures in a different color to check range.
- Use the four B2 First assessment areas, content, communicative achievement, organization and language, for self-assessment.
- Recycle one essay topic as a speaking discussion before writing to generate ideas.
