✍️ The 50-Word Task — Foundation Section B
Foundation Paper 4 Section B asks you to write around 40 words addressing four bullet-point tasks. It is worth 8 marks — 4 for communication and 4 for accuracy. Every unanswered bullet costs you directly and immediately, so the golden rule is simple: address all four, one accurate sentence each, in order.
