Email Components and Language Usage

The second page delves into specific email components and appropriate language use for informal communication.

Example: Introductory sentences like "How have you been?" or "Thanks so much for your last email" help establish tone and show interest.

Vocabulary: Informal connectors include phrases like "Well,...", "Anyway,...", and "Oh, by the way..." to maintain natural flow.

Highlight: The main body should directly address questions from the sender and provide relevant recommendations using phrases like "You must tell them to visit..." or "I'd really recommend..."

Closing Sections and Practical Application

The third page focuses on proper email conclusion and provides practical homework examples.

Example: A sample task might involve writing to an English friend visiting your city, discussing places to visit, appropriate clothing, and extending an invitation to stay.

Highlight: Closing formulas should maintain informality while remaining professional - "Take care!" or "All the best," are preferred over simply "Bye."

Definition: The final paragraph should provide a natural conclusion, potentially including action items or future expectations.

Writing Assessment Criteria and Basic Structure

The first page outlines fundamental aspects of writing assessment and email structure. The scoring system evaluates four key components: content, communicative competence, organization, and expression.

Definition: Writing assessment evaluates the candidate's ability to fulfill task requirements, use appropriate language registers, maintain logical organization, and employ correct vocabulary and grammar.

Highlight: Informal language should be relaxed and friendly, incorporating contractions, common phrasal verbs, and colloquial expressions.

Example: Opening formulas vary in formality - "Hi David," is more informal than "Dear David," and requires a comma followed by a new line.

Vocabulary: Common email topics include giving advice about hometown visits, fitness tips, travel recommendations, and party planning.
