How to Score NCLC 7 in TEF Writing with Just 3 Templates

The TEF Canada Writing section (Expression Écrite) consists of two tasks:

1. Section A (80 words minimum): Finishing a "Fait divers" news story.
2. Section B (200 words minimum): Writing an argumentative letter to a newspaper or organization.

The challenge isn't just the French—it's the clock. You have only 60 minutes for both. Many candidates fail because they spend 45 minutes on Section A and rush the much more important Section B.

The secret to hitting NCLC 7 (B2) is automation. You shouldn't be thinking about structure on exam day; you should be filling in a pre-prepared template with specific arguments.
