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.
