Question 1
Read Text A and Text B in the insert (as found in the June 2023 (0500/22) (opens in a new tab) exam paper) and then answer the question.
Your friend has been asked by their boss at work to apologise to a colleague for missing a meeting. Your friend is unsure whether to apologise and how to apologise so that their boss is satisfied.
Write a letter to your friend, giving advice on what they should do.
In your letter you should:
evaluate the ideas about apologising given in both texts
explain why your friend should or should not apologise, and how to deal with the situation at work.
Base your letter on what you have read in both texts, but be careful to use your own words. Address both of the bullet points.
Write about 250 to 350 words. Up to 15 marks are available for the content of your answer, and up to 25 marks for the quality of your writing.
