Writing an Email
Read a short scenario and write an email of about 150-200 words that addresses each required point. You have 27 minutes.
Practice this taskResponding to Survey Questions
Read a survey, choose the option you prefer, and explain your reasons in about 150-200 words. You have 26 minutes.
Practice this taskWhy drill a single CELPIP Writing task
Full mock exams are great for pacing both tasks in one sitting, but they split your attention across the email and the survey at once. Task-by-task drills are the opposite: focused, repeatable, and scored the moment you finish.
Fix the weaker task
If your email keeps losing marks on task fulfillment but your survey response is solid, drilling Task 1 on its own beats taking another full writing mock. Stay on one task until it clicks.
One task, not two
A drill is a single timed task with instant feedback, not a back-to-back Task 1 and Task 2 sitting. Easy to slot into a lunch break, then read the band score and model answer before you move on.
Pattern recognition
CELPIP Writing reuses scenario types — a complaint email, a request, an apology, a survey choice you have to argue for. Drilling a task makes the structure automatic so you stop reinventing your response every time.

FAQ
Writing practice, answered
Should I drill tasks or take full mocks?
Both, in different phases. Early on, drill Task 1 and Task 2 separately to learn each structure and where marks come from. Closer to test day, take a full writing mock so you practise pacing both tasks in one sitting.
Are these real CELPIP writing prompts?
No. We don't redistribute official Paragon prompts. Every prompt here is original, written to match the official CELPIP Writing patterns for the email and survey tasks. The timing, word count, and instruction wording mirror the real exam.
How is each writing task timed?
Same as the real CELPIP Writing exam. Task 1 (Writing an Email) gives you 27 minutes; Task 2 (Responding to Survey Questions) gives you 26 minutes. Both ask for a 150–200 word response.
How is my writing scored?
On the four official CELPIP dimensions: content and coherence, vocabulary, readability, and task fulfillment. You get an instant band estimate for each, the specific weaknesses that cost you marks, and a Band 12 model answer written to the same prompt.
