Choose one of two tasks and write effectively in Welsh for the specified purpose, audience and literary or non-literary form.
How to use this English-interface Cymraeg guide
Read the strategy in English, then return to the Welsh source: quote and analyse its exact wording and produce every assessed response in accurate Cymraeg.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Purpose, audience, form, content selection and appropriate register
Exam cue: Confirm the current WJEC route, unit, task and assessment control before choosing a reading, writing or speaking strategy.
Concept 2
Structure, cohesion, tone and engaging language
Exam cue: Decode the task into purpose, audience and form, then make every structural and language choice serve that combination.
Concept 3
Welsh sentence range, grammar, mutation, punctuation and spelling
Exam cue: Use the English guidance to plan the skill, but cite, analyse and produce the assessed response in accurate Welsh.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails

Guardrail: Do not translate away the assessed Welsh, bind optional texts universally or combine mutually exclusive award routes.
Answering the assessed task in English or translating away the Welsh wording, quotation, register, grammar or literary effect being assessed.
Guardrail: Do not translate away the assessed Welsh, bind optional texts universally or combine mutually exclusive award routes.
Binding every learner to an optional centre-selected text, poem or stimulus, or combining Single and Double Award units into one route.
Guardrail: Use Units 1-3 plus 4a for Single or Units 1-3 plus 4b, 5 and 6 for Double; never add weights or tasks across routes.
