Students mark the statements True (T) or False (F) and then feed back to the
class.
Answers
1 F − this is a formal business document.
2 T
3 T
4 F − the statement uses
want
because it is much more direct.
5 T
Extension activity: style
Ask the class how the document manages to avoid mentioning specific people, and
therefore achieves its formal, professional style.
Suggested answers
The subjects of many sentences are things rather than people, for example The
Laughter Network; the project; the interactive television application, etc.
Many of the verbs are passive, for example
needs to be localised
;
must be re-
dubbed; a regional web farm will be set up
; etc.
Several infinitives are used which do not take a subject, for example
In order to
achieve this
…;
To maintain the high quality
…;
Earlier … applications … were
difficult to build
; etc.
