Writing Strategy 1 Divide your letter into paragraphs. 2 In the first paragraph, which can be a single sentence, say why you are writing. 3 Each paragraph should have its own topic. It is usually best to deal with each point in the task in a separate paragraph. 4 In the final paragraph, which can be a single sentence, say that you expect a reply. 5 Avoid colloquial language and short forms. |

Writing Strategy When you write an informal email or letter, • you should avoid formal language. • you can use contractions (you're, it's, etc.). • you sometimes omit words like I, I'm or I've at the start of a sentence (Hope you're well, Got to go now, etc.). |
To: anna@email.com
Hi Anna,
Hope everything is OK with you. We've just moved to a new flat nearer the centre of town. It's brilliant being so close to the shops, and the flat is bigger than our old one. It's quite noisy, though, as there is a lot of traffic. I'd rather it was further from the main road. I met one of our neighbours yesterday. She is about my age and she is very friendly. She has invited me to a party next weekend. Can you go with me? I hope so. To be honest, I'd rather not go alone. Also, would it be OK if I used your bike for a few days? Mine is at the bike shop and I'd rather cycle to school than get the bus.
Got to go now. I'd better finish my homework before bed. I look forward to receiving your reply.
Love,
Ellie

(phần ngôn ngữ trang trọng. Làm thế nào bạn có thể làm cho nó không trang trọng?)
There is no formal language in Ellie's email.
(Không có ngôn từ trang trọng trong email của Ellie.)
2 three different contractions. Can you find any more places where Ellie could have used contractions?
(ba dạng rút gọn khác nhau. Bạn có thể tìm thấy bất kỳ chỗ nào khác mà Ellie có thể sử dụng các dạng rút gọn không?)
- We've (We have)
- I'd (I would/ I had)
- It's (It is)
There are no other places where Ellie could have used contractions.
(Không có chỗ nào khác mà Ellie có thể sử dụng các dạng rút gọn.)
3 an example of a sentence with words omitted at the start. What exactly has been omitted?
(một ví dụ về một câu với những từ bỏ đi ở đầu. Chính xác những gì đã được bỏ qua?)
"Got to go now."
(Phải đi ngay bây giờ.)
The word "I've" (I have) has been omitted.
(Từ "I've" đã bị lược bỏ.)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The statement: "Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations." means:
A. Most of the speakers of a language can use both formal and informal speech in appropriate situations.
B. Familiar situations that are experienced by most people are called colloquialisms.
C. Familiar words and phrases are found in both speech and writing in formal settings.
D. Informal language contains colloquialisms, which are not found in more formal language.
Đáp án: C
Giải thích: Câu này có nghĩa là “Các cụm từ thông tục là những từ ngữ hay thành ngữ quen thuộc được hầu hết mọi người hiểu và được dùng ở bài nói/ bài viết không trang trọng/ thân mật, nhưng không được chấp nhận ở những tình huống trang trọng.” Nghĩa này phù hợp với nghĩa của câu nêu ở câu C: “Ngôn ngữ không trang trọng chứa các cụm từ thông tục – những cụm từ thường không có ở ngôn ngữ trang trọng.”

Dear Sir or Madam,
(1) On Friday, November 27th, I bought a Link76 laptop from your website and it is not working.
The laptop has two main problems. (2) It overheats when I play games and it keeps crashing when I do my homework. It also sometimes slows down when I watch movies.
(3) I called RocketTech's customer hotline and waited 30 minutes to speak to someone. Finally, I spoke to your colleague, Andy. He said he would speak to his manager and call back in ten minutes. That was three hours ago.
(4) I would like RocketTech to repair my laptop or provide a new one as soon as possible.
I look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
June Evans
