CELPIP Writing: Responding to Surveys 4

Question 1

A survey prompt offers a comment box rather than two options. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Express and support your own opinion on the issue

Answer

Open-ended survey prompts still require a clear, supported personal opinion.

Question 2

Which is the strongest example of an explained reason rather than a bare statement?

Accepted Answer

I prefer this option because it saves money that can fund schools.

Answer

Explaining the consequence (funding schools) develops the reason fully.

Question 3

What is a risk of including too many unrelated ideas in a survey response?

Accepted Answer

Weakened focus and unclear position

Answer

Too many scattered ideas dilute focus and obscure your main position.

Question 4

In a survey about extending store hours, which detail best supports a 'yes' position?

Accepted Answer

Longer hours help shift workers shop after late jobs.

Answer

The detail connects extended hours to a real benefit for shift workers.

Question 5

Which paragraph structure works well for a 150-200 word survey response?

Accepted Answer

A brief intro stating your choice, body reasons, short conclusion

Answer

A short intro, supported body, and brief conclusion fit the length well.
