Abstract

This article aíms at analyzing the writing practices required by the cornposition question proposed in the UFCG entrance examination carried out in 2005 , and the practices demonstrated by the candidates. The corpus comprises the cornposition question, 100 experience reports and 100 opinion articles. They were collected in the cities where the entrance examination was carried out. The data, which were analyzed on the basis of literacy studies, indicate three writing practices required by the question: adequacy to the theme, respect to the compositiona! sequence of the article and of the report, and intertextuality related to the collection. In relation to the writing practices demonstrated in the compositions, we noticed that the candidates, in general, seem to be partially literate concerning the entrance examination, since they were not able to discuss the theme according to what had been proposed, they did not prove complete domain of the composition sequence of the focused genres, and few of them referred to some of the texts presented in the composition question.
