TCF Canada writing: tasks 1, 2 and 3 corrected

TCF Canada writing is 3 tasks in 60 minutes: a message (60 to 120 words), an article or letter (120 to 150 words) and a comparison of two viewpoints (120 to 180 words). A text outside the limits could be rated “below A1”. Scored out of 20; for IRCC, 10 or 11 out of 20 = NCLC 7.

Official word count: a word = characters between two spaces.
