Work out who your audience is before you start writing, and think about what style you need to use:
- "Write a report for your school governors which persuades them to allow changes to your school uniform."
Keep the tone of your writing formal. School governors would expect a professional approach.
- "Adults often criticise the way teenagers dress. Advise teenagers on how to respond to this criticism."
If you're writing for a teenage audience, you can probably be more informal.
Sometimes a question has more than one audience for you to deal with:
- "Write a letter to a magazine called 'Adventure Holidays' arguing for or against adventure holidays for children."
Your letter will be addressed to the editor of this magazine, but you're also writing for the readers, who may have mixed opinions.
