Content
Should discuss the impact of technology at home and in the workplace (in a particular society) and ways in which technology has and has not made our lives easier.

Range
Language of discussion, evaluation and possibly comparison (between past and the present day). Topic vocabulary relating to technology and science (e.g. 'technological breakthrough', 'a tremendous impact on...', etc.)

Organisation
The article must be divided into clear paragraphs and these should be linked appropriately. The format should be that of a standard essay, i.e. without headings in the body of the essay.

Register
Should be fairly formal as that is consistent with the requirements of an academic essay.

Target reader
The tutor would understand the writer's point of view about the impact of technology clearly and unambiguously.

Language accuracy
Does not have to be completely accurate but any errors should be minimal.
