IB English B Paper 1: How to Survive (and Win)

What Paper 1 Actually Is

Paper 1 is your chance to show off your writing superpowers.
You’ll get three prompts (each linked to a different theme), and you pick one to write about. But it’s not just “write whatever you want.” You need to:
1. Stick to the required text type (article, blog, report, speech, diary, email, review, etc.)
2. Aim for the correct word count
3. Match the context, purpose, and audience

The Five Prescribed Themes

All tasks come from one of these:
1. Identities
  1. Cultural identity, health, personal values
2. Experiences
  1. Travel, hobbies, milestones
3. Human Ingenuity
  1. Technology, art, creativity
4. Social Organization
  1. School, community, politics
5. Sharing the Planet
  1. Environment, human rights, conflict
