However, EFL writing plays a central role in today's schools as well as colleges and is yet regarded as a challenging skill throughout academic life. PLEASE strategy has a better effect on the student’s achievement in writing when compared to the traditional method. The sample of this study consists of (52) students who are randomly chosen from second-year / Morning studies in English Department / Tikrit University for the academic year (2019-2020). The sample is divided into a control group with (51) students and an experimental group with (52) students. The experimental group had the students who were trained with PLEASE strategy and the control group had the students who were taught with the traditional method. A Pre and Post-tests have been conducted to show the effectiveness of PLEASE strategy . The data has been collected and treated statistically. The obtained results reveal that after adopting PLEASE strategy , the students` achievement in writing were found to be in a good manner and the coherence of the sentences have improved to a great deal. The students were able to bring out their ideas and concepts in a better way. Their fear of writing had completely gone. The grammar errors have been greatly eliminated as well .

Differences in learning are critical factors which faculty members should take into account in the process of learning and teaching second or foreign languages , also these differences influence learning processes and lead to different linguistic abilities and skills in the second language. Learners differ from each other due to biological, conditioned factors or unconscious forces, each learner is different from the other, and they have different personalities and styles. Some second language learners make rapid and apparent progress while others progress very slowly and with difficulties, in this respect there are several important areas where the learners may show differences from each other. These include: age, sex, aptitude, motivation, cognitive style, personality, and learning strategies.

It has been found that, beside content knowledge, test-taking behavior, such as risk-taking strategies, motivation, and test anxiety, is important for test performance. This study assumes that teaching test-taking strategies will result in increasing students' overall scores in their tests. It is also assumed that having such strategies will reduce the level of test stress and improve students' overall attitudes toward tests. Studies in this area often compare groups of test takers. They have for example found that high achievers tend to report using more effective test-taking strategies when compared to low achievers (Stenlund et al. 2017), that males are more prone to taking risks when answering test items (see, e.g., Baldiga 2014), and that females and low achievers seem to experience higher levels of test anxiety than males and high achievers (Stenlund et al. 2017). Findings like these can help understand and to some extent possibly explain performance differences that are often observed between manifest groups in achievement tests.

Evaluation is an integral part of any model of instructional design. It is of three types: formative evaluation, summative evaluation and confirmative evaluation. Evaluators are interested in evaluating all aspects of instruction such as learning, learners, teachers, facilities, behavior and financial spending. It is worthy to mention that evaluation should take place at different phases within different times for instances Formative evaluation is used to provide feedback to designers as the instruction is "forming" or being "developed". Summative evaluation is conducted to determine the degree to which a completed instructional product produces the intended outcomes. Confirmative evaluation examines the success of instruction as it is used over time.

A sample of (30) students has been selected and distributed into two equal groups (experimental and control groups). They have been taught the same English passages for a period of fifteen weeks. The experimental group is taught by using the Magnet Summary Strategy. While the control group is taught by using the traditional method adopted by the instructor .The achievement test has been constructed and applied to the two groups of students, at the end of the experiment. The required data has been collected and treated statistically. Results show the superiority of the experimental group over the control group in their achievement in reading comprehension, which means that the Magnet Summary Strategy is an effective strategy for teaching reading comprehension .
