Go to the teacher's office and apologize for having missed the class. Ask for the handout from the class. Find out what the homework was. You are a teacher. A student who missed your class yesterday comes to your office.
Some tests combine reading and writing in communicative situations.
Testees can be given a task in which they are presented with instructions to write a letter, memo, summary, etc., answering certain questions, based on information that they are given. In many situations, testees might have to write business letters, letters asking for information, etc. The following is an example of such a task. Your boss has received a letter from a customer complaining about problems with a coffee maker that he bought six months ago. Your boss has instructed you to check the company policy on returns and repairs and reply to the letter.
