MET Writing Hub
The MET Writing section lasts 45 minutes across two tasks: Task 1 asks you to answer three related short questions (~15 minutes), and Task 2 asks for a multi-paragraph essay of at least 250 words (~30 minutes).
AI feedback scores all 5 official MET dimensions (0–4 each), estimates your 0–80 section score and CEFR band, and highlights sentences to revise.
Three short questions on one everyday topic: describe a habit, experience or preference; give your opinion and why; then add more detail or tell about a time it happened. Each answer can be a few sentences.
A short situation with two sides, followed by a question asking what you think. You must give reasons and examples.
All sample prompts, answers and feedback on this page are original practice material created by METmock and are not taken from official exam materials.
Task 1 · Three short answers (~15 min)
1. What kind of meals do you enjoy cooking or eating at home? 2. Do you prefer eating at home or eating at a restaurant with friends, and why? 3. Why do you think cooking classes and food videos have become so popular?
“Between the two, I prefer inviting friends over for a homemade meal because we can talk as long as we like without feeling rushed by a waiter. Last month, for instance, three colleagues came to my flat and we made fresh pasta together for half the cost of a restaurant bill.”
Task 2 · Multi-paragraph essay (250+ words, ~30 min)
Many companies now allow employees to split their week between working from home and working in the office. Do the advantages of hybrid work outweigh the disadvantages? Give reasons and specific examples to support your opinion.

Both tasks share a single 45-minute timer. Spend about 15 minutes on Task 1 (writing 2–4 connected sentences for each of the three questions) and 30 minutes on Task 2 so you can develop a full 250+ word essay.
Responses are evaluated on five official 0–4 criteria: Grammatical Accuracy, Vocabulary, Mechanics, Cohesion & Organization, Task Completion.
