Two tasks — one practical, one persuasive. Both scored on the same four criteria.
Email Writing
You are presented with a real-life scenario and asked to write an email to a specific person — a neighbour, a manager, a local business, or a community organiser. Your email must address the situation clearly, use an appropriate tone, and fulfill the specific purpose laid out in the prompt.
- Clear purpose and audience awareness
- Appropriate register and tone
- Relevant and complete content
- Logical paragraph structure
Opinion/Survey Response
You respond to a written opinion prompt or a survey question. This task measures how well you can state and support a point of view using relevant reasons, examples, and personal experience — all within a well-structured short essay format.
- Clear position with supporting reasons
- Specific examples and explanations
- Organised argument with a conclusion
- Consistent academic or formal register
How AI scoring works
Every response is evaluated across four criteria, each scored on the CLB 1–12 scale.
Task Achievement
Did your response actually address what the prompt asked? This criterion looks at whether you covered all the required points, used the right format (email vs. essay), and communicated with the appropriate purpose — informing, requesting, persuading, or explaining.
CLB 1–12Vocabulary Range
This measures the variety and precision of the words you choose. Using a mix of everyday and less-common vocabulary, choosing words that fit the context exactly, and avoiding repetition all contribute to a stronger score here.
CLB 1–12Grammar Accuracy
Examiners look at your control of sentence structures — verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, clause construction, and punctuation. Occasional minor errors are acceptable at higher levels, but consistent errors that affect readability lower your score.
CLB 1–12Coherence & Cohesion
Does your response flow naturally from one idea to the next? This criterion rewards clear paragraph organisation, effective use of linking words and transitions, and a response that a reader can follow without re-reading sentences to understand meaning.
CLB 1–12Improving from CLB 6 to CLB 8
Original examples for illustration only — not from official CELPIP materials.
I am writing because I have a problem with my schedule at the gym.
I'm reaching out regarding an unexpected conflict with my current gym membership schedule that I'd like to resolve.
CLB 8 uses a more precise verb phrase and names the exact issue rather than stating there is a problem.
I think working from home is good because people can save time.
Remote work arrangements offer employees a tangible time advantage, particularly by eliminating lengthy daily commutes.
CLB 8 converts a general opinion into a concrete claim with a specific, named example.
Also, another thing is that companies can save money on office space.
Beyond individual benefits, organisations can significantly reduce overhead costs by downsizing physical office footprints.
CLB 8 replaces a weak transition and vague noun with a strong linking phrase and specific language.
