This is a resource on the different text types that you may encounter during the Cambridge IGCSE 0500 First Language English exam that showcases the 6 different text types that you may encounter and have to produce during the course of the Extended Response to Reading (Question 3, Paper 1) and Directed Writing (Question 1, Paper 2).

This is a general resource and it provides guidance on how to write texts and to familiarise yourself with them – Where applicable, it provides examples so that the student can consider them and think about how to craft them in his or her own response in the future 🙂
