 An
Overview
Candidates are given two composition
topics, from which they
choose one. They have 50 minutes to write an essay (or letter) of 200
-250
words. Dictionaries or other resources are not allowed.
One of the topics usually relates to
work-life at the United
Nations and may be especially related to Headquarters. The other is usually more general. The ELPE
is given
to staff in duty stations all over the world so the composition topics
have to
be quite broad.
Using this composition rating scale, the examiner assigns a score ranging from 0 (if nothing was written) to 20 (native-like; perfect or nearly perfect).
