  9. 9When responding to the imaginative writing tasks you must first choose an appropriate [blank_start]form[blank_end] to write in. This could be a [blank_start]narrative[blank_end], a [blank_start]description[blank_end] or a [blank_start]monologue[blank_end]. Whichever form you choose you must write in [blank_start]continuous prose[blank_end] which means oragnising your writing into a series of linked, flowing [blank_start]paragraphs[blank_end] written using [blank_start]Standard English.[blank_end]

    You may include some [blank_start]dialogue[blank_end] in your response if you choose to write a [blank_start]narrative[blank_end] but you should keep any [blank_start]dialogue[blank_end] to a [blank_start]minimum[blank_end] as [blank_start]dialogue[blank_end] is not generally written in paragraphs and tends to include [blank_start]colloquial[blank_end] language.

    Remember that you must [blank_start]never[blank_end] provide a [blank_start]poem[blank_end] or a [blank_start]play script[blank_end] in response to the imaginative writing tasks as these [blank_start]forms[blank_end] do not allow you to write in continuous prose.
