Band 9 Task 1 General
Recipient: Is the imaginary recipient of this a letter a person you know personally, or someone you
don’t know? Is this person a friend, a stranger or a professional contact? Style: Therefore, should it be in a personal or formal style? Because of the style, how should you complete the ‘Dear -------’ part? Content: Why are you writing the letter? Which combination of the four possible content ideas is it asking you to create (complaining, requesting, explaining/apologising, suggesting)? The answers to these questions are: Recipient: In this imaginary situation, the recipient is a person you probably don’t know. In reality, you would certainly know the Governor’s name, but it’s very unlikely that you would know them personally, although they might be a professional contact. Style: Because of this, the letter should be in a formal style. The Governor may be a contact, but is not a friend; he/she is probably older than you, and certainly higher in authority. Because this is a formal style letter, and you know the name of the recipient, you should begin ‘Dear Mr Smith’ or ‘Dear Mrs Smith’ or ‘Dear Ms Smith.’ In this situation, you would certainly not begin ‘Dear Sir or Madam,’ because it would be rude not to know the Governor’s surname. Content: The Task is asking you to create content for: complaining, explaining and suggesting. (Complaining about the noise, explaining the problem, and suggesting ways to reduce it.) It is not asking you to apologise for anything, or to request anything. That was an example of how you should think about recipient, style and content in GT Task 1 before you start writing. You should do this in two or three minutes when you are in the exam. There are three very important points to highlight at this stage: Download 0.61 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
