A1 Movers Reading & Writing Part 6 — Write About a Picture
Movers Reading & Writing Part 6 is the writing task. Your child looks at a picture, completes sentences about it and answers questions, six in total. The last answers are your child's own words about the scene.
How Movers Reading & Writing Part 6 works
Your child studies one busy picture scene.
The first questions ask them to complete printed sentences about the picture.
Then come questions to answer about what they can see.
Finally, your child writes their own sentences about the scene.
Everything needed is visible in the picture — no imagination required, just clear, simple English.
Tips to prepare for Part 6
Own one sentence pattern cold: 'The + person + is + verb-ing (+ place)' — it correctly describes almost any Movers picture.
Write about what is visibly there; inventing details the picture doesn't show is the most common way to lose these marks.
Short and correct beats long and broken — at A1, examiners reward accuracy, not ambition.
Practise a daily one-minute picture description: two spoken sentences, then write them down.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Does my child write full sentences in Part 6?
Partly. The early questions ask your child to complete printed sentences and answer questions about the picture with short phrases; the final questions ask for your child's own writing about the scene. Short, correct, simple sentences score at Movers level — ambition is not rewarded, accuracy is.
How long is the whole Reading & Writing paper?
Thirty minutes for six parts and 35 questions — Part 6 is the last of them. Time pressure is real for slow writers, so practise finishing the earlier multiple-choice parts briskly to protect writing time. There is no extra stage for transferring answers; everything is written on the paper.
What kind of picture appears in Part 6?
A single busy scene from a familiar Movers theme — a park, a beach, a classroom — with several people clearly doing things. Everything your child needs to write about is visible: who, what they are doing, where things are. Answers should describe the picture, not imagined details beyond it.
How can my child prepare for the writing at the end of Part 6?
Describe pictures aloud daily, then write the best two sentences down. Use the pattern subject + is/are + verb-ing: 'The boy is flying a kite.' It matches what examiners expect at A1, and children who own that one pattern almost always secure the writing marks here.
