Writes confidently with relevance and detail, choosing appropriately from a range of styles and forms, and showing a clear understanding of audience and purpose.
Like the reflective writer, versatile writers engage and sustain the reader's interest. They adapt style and register to different forms, including using an impersonal style where appropriate. They use a range of sentence structures and varied vocabulary to create effects.
Paragraphing and correct punctuation are used to make the sequence of events or ideas coherent and clear to the reader. Versatile writers can, however, do all these things with greater reliability in a wider range of contexts. They can work independently and successfully on a wider range of writing tasks, bringing to bear more experience and deploying a larger repertoire of responses.
