Writing to Inform - Example

Here is an example of informative writing. How does the writer use language in this example to inform readers about the importance of planning?

It is really important to have a clear plan before you start to revise for your exams. If you do not have a plan, this can lead to procrastination and anxiety. Furthermore, not having a plan may also cause you to lose your leisure time because you are worrying about your lack of revision.

Lots of students find it hard to revise – 74% of those taking GCSE exams in 2017 – but the majority found it easier once they had created a plan.

It is best to begin slowly; do not plan to revise every second of every day, but start with an hour a day and try to stick to it. Keep that up for a week and then reward yourself with a chocolate bar or an afternoon out. All in all, give yourself time to adjust to a revision schedule – your brain needs time to adapt to a new method of working so (literally and figuratively) give yourself a break!
