Extended writing for purpose

Description helps the reader experience a person, place, or moment. Choose a viewpoint and move through the scene deliberately, perhaps from a wide view to one small detail. Use precise nouns and verbs as well as sensory detail: 'water dripped from the torn awning' is more specific than 'it was a bad place'. Select a few connected impressions rather than forcing all five senses into every paragraph. A description can contain movement, but a task focused on description should not turn into a plot-heavy narrative.

කෙනෙකු, තැනක් හෝ මොහොතක් සිතේ මැවෙන ලෙස පිළිවෙළකට විස්තර කරන්න. නිවැරදි වචන හා ගැළපෙන දර්ශන කිහිපයක් තෝරාගන්න; විස්තර ලිවීමක් අනවශ්‍ය සිදුවීම් රැසක කතාවක් බවට හරවන්න එපා.

Plan before drafting: identify the reader, the purpose, and the information that must be included. Select a small number of useful details and place them in a logical order. After writing, check the effect on a reader who does not know your intentions. Revise unclear meaning first, then check sentence boundaries, verb forms, spelling, and punctuation.

ලියන්නේ කාටද, ඇයිද සහ ඇතුළත් කළ යුතු කරුණු මොනවාද යන්න මුලින් සැලසුම් කරන්න. අදහස් පිළිවෙළට ලියා, අර්ථය පැහැදිලි කර පසුව වාක්‍ය, ක්‍රියාපද, අක්ෂර වින්‍යාසය හා විරාම ලකුණු පරීක්ෂා කරන්න.

At 9093 AS Level, relate terminology to actual meaning, form, structure and language. Reading analysis and writing craft should inform each other. Avoid identifying a feature without explaining its role, and avoid a commentary that claims choices absent from the text. This is an original selected-skills sequence for Papers 1–2, not a complete set of examination tasks.

A discursive argument explores a question through connected reasoning and reaches a justified position. Define the issue and key terms, identify serious perspectives, and weigh relevant evidence rather than giving every view equal space mechanically. Each paragraph should develop a step in the reasoning and connect it to the question. A qualification can strengthen a judgment by identifying the conditions under which it holds. The conclusion should synthesise the discussion and answer the precise question. Avoid a memorised introduction that could fit any topic without revealing what this argument will examine.

A review describes and evaluates an experience, product, book, or performance for a particular reader. Give enough information to establish what is being reviewed, then explain strengths and limitations using specific examples. A review is not just a plot summary or a list of adjectives. Consider criteria that matter to the audience, such as clarity, usefulness, enjoyment, access, or value. A balanced evaluation can still reach a clear recommendation. Make it clear when a judgment is your experience rather than a universal fact.

විචාරය කරන දෙය හඳුන්වා, නිශ්චිත උදාහරණවලින් එහි හොඳ හා අඩු පැති පෙන්වන්න. කතාව නැවත කීම පමණක් නොකර, ඔබේ තීරණයට හේතු දක්වන්න.
