Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Presentar una pregunta retórica seguida de una opinión personal clara
Award 1 mark for identifying that an argumentative essay introduction should engage the reader (e.g., rhetorical question) and state a clear thesis/opinion. D is incorrect because arguments belong in the body paragraphs, not the introduction. A is incorrect as plagiarism and lack of personal engagement are inappropriate. B is incorrect because a vocabulary list is not a valid essay opening structure.

CIE IGCSE Spanish: Writing FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Spanish?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Writing practice with other Spanish topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Writing questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Spanish syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Spanish specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Writing typically tested on CIE IGCSE Spanish papers?
Writing appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Spanish papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
