# Paper 2: Writing - Writing to Advise - Example

English Language: AQA GCSE, topic 6.3.11

## Writing to Advise - Example

Here is an example of advisatory writing. How does the writer use language in this example to advise her friend on fundraising ideas?

### Paragraph 1

![Paragraph 1](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/memory-location-images/Kuala%20Lumpar,%20Malaysia-min.jpg)

Dear Katie,

I heard that you were planning on going to Malaysia next summer and needed some fundraising ideas. I had to fundraise for our school trip to New Zealand last year, so I thought you would like some advice.

### Paragraph 2

![Paragraph 2](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/c63454e6-199d-4c50-8af4-e3d2da6238bb/money-coins.jpg)

Firstly, you need to make a plan of action. Calculate how much money you will need for absolutely everything – and then add some more, just to be safe! There are lots of ways to plan this out: money tracking apps, Excel spreadsheets, or using a notebook. I used a spreadsheet, which was fantastic because I could set it to add everything up automatically.

### Paragraph 3

![Paragraph 3](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-09/dbc753fa-d4e8-4eb4-b49e-335b9b3fbbcd/cheesecake-.jpeg)

After you have a budget in place, plan a list of possible fundraising events – the more unusual ones will get you the most money. For my trip, my favourite fundraisers were a sponsored dance-a-thon and shaving my head; both of these helped me to raise huge amounts towards my holiday. If you don’t want a cold head, you could try a sponsored silence, a non-uniform day, or a cake sale. You should ask your head of year for guidance on the rules around these events; they were fantastic when I needed help.
