Weekly essay: "Which are your favourite TV programmes? Describe them and explain why you like them."

It is a descriptive essay so in your introduction, you might be permitted to make general, abstract statements (tell about) your subject or supply background information, as long as you demonstrate these points concretely later in the body of your essay.
Use vivid nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and appropriate metaphors, similes, comparisons, and contrasts. Avoid clichés.
Like the introduction, the conclusion is another place you can get away with reflecting about your subject, summing up your feelings about it.

In these video interviews around Britain, some British young people talk about their favourite TV shows.

Weekly essay: "What kind of music do you like? Describe it and explain why you like it."

The descriptive essay describes a person, place, or thing in such vivid detail that the reader can easily form a precise mental picture of what is being written about. It uses formal language (no contractions, no informal expressions), it is consistent with tenses (only use present or past) and it also uses precise adjectives, avoid general words (such as good, nice, bad, or beautiful.)
