These can include invitations, arrangements for meetings, apologies for missing a class, or notices about lost property.

Part 6 This part is about vocabulary. You have to produce words and spell them correctly. The words will all be linked to the same topic, for example jobs or food. You have to read a definition for each one and complete the word.
The first letter of each word is given to help you. Part7 This part is about grammar and vocabulary. You have to complete a short, gapped text of the type you could be expected to write, such as a note, email or short letter. You must spell all the missing words correctly.
A guide to Cambridge English: Key Part 8 This part tests both reading and writing. You have to use the information in two short texts (for example a note, email or advertisement) to complete a document such as a form, notice or diary entry. You will need to understand the vocabulary used on forms, for example name, cost and time. You will need to write only words or phrases in your answers, but you must spell them correctly.
Part 9 You have to write a short message (25-35 words). You are told who you are writing to and why, and you must include three pieces of information. To gain top marks, all three parts of the message must be included in your answer, so it is important to read the question carefully and plan what you are going to write. Before the exam, practise writing answers of the correct length.
You will lose marks for writing fewer than 25 words, and it is not a good idea to write answers that are too long.
