P. 21
When writing an informal letter or an email based on prompts,
• use the appropriate layout ( refer Full Blast! Plus 4 page 170).
• use informal language and expressions (e.g. well. Of course, anyway, you know, you see,
actually, by the way).
• use short forms (e.g. I’m, didn’t)
• use exclamations (e.g. That’s great!)
• use direct questions (e.g. What are you up to?)
• use standard grammar and spelling conventions.
Avoid forms such as wanna, cu i8r, etc.
• read the prompts carefully and include all the points in the notes in your answer.
• don’t just copy the notes. Try to rephrases them and add any comments and / or information
that is relevant.
• Use appropriate expressions / phrases to express enthusiasm, accept or refuse an invitation,
give news, etc. ( see activity D)
