CELPIP Writing Samples with Answers
Free, high-band CELPIP writing samples for the 2026 format. Every sample shows the prompt, a full model answer, and a clear breakdown of why it scores high, so you can copy what works into your own writing. Task 1 emails and Task 2 survey responses, added regularly.
CELPIP Writing has two tasks. Task 1 is a 150 to 200 word email, formal or informal depending on who you are writing to. Task 2 is a 250 to 300 word survey response where you choose one of two options and defend it. Both are scored on the same four criteria: Content and Coherence, Vocabulary, Readability, and Task Fulfilment. The fastest way to improve is to study strong answers, notice the patterns raters reward, then rehearse them under time pressure on a free writing mock test.
