Paper 2 Complete Bundle: Directed Writing + Composition — IGCSE First Language English

Helps with: every writing question on IGCSE Paper 2: persuasive writing, descriptions and stories.

Everything for Cambridge IGCSE First Language English (0500) Paper 2 Writing in one bundle, written for the 2027–2029 specification: the full Directed Writing unit for Section A, both Composition units for Section B (narrative and descriptive writing), and six full Paper 2 practice papers (Directed Writing and Composition) with mark schemes and model answers.

Paper 2 rewards students who plan before they write. In Section A they must pick out and judge ideas from two texts; in Section B they must hold a reader with a story or a description. This bundle gives students a clear method for each, model answers to aim for, and plenty of timed practice, so they go into the exam knowing exactly what a top answer looks like.

What’s in the bundle?

Section A: Directed Writing

• Fourteen lessons that take students from “What is this question even asking?” to a confident 1(a) and a well-argued 1(b).
• One clear method for each part: Name it · Nail it · Link it for 1(a), and Pick it · Prove it · Push it for developing and evaluating ideas in 1(b).
• Eight practice papers in total: two inside the unit and six more in the exam practice set, so students can rehearse under timed conditions again and again.

Section B: Composition

• Narrative writing: from a blank page to a Level 6 story, with every lesson built around one original model story, The Vanishing Broadcast: a local radio station’s final hour before it closes at midnight.
• Descriptive writing: choosing one feeling, selecting the details that create it and holding it with one powerful image, taught through real photographs and finished with three model descriptions.
