Do’s
Don’ts
Use sophisticated transitions like in addition and consequent, rather than and, but, or.	Don’t use verb contractions like we’ll or he’d.

Exercise 3. Ask students to take the letters they wrote in Ex.1 and

have a look if they can find some relevant Do’s and Don’t of formal letter writing.

Invite some students to share their success and failures of in writing the letter

with the whole class.

Exercise 4. Say that there are some levels of formality. Writing is not

just either formal or informal. Discuss the following cases with your students:

Think about how you would talk to various people if you were discussing that

night’s football game, for instance:

a) to a close friend: How good was that game mate?

They were terrible…

b) to someone you know but aren’t close to, such a parent of a friend: I heard

that the Lions had an awesome win last night...

c) to a stranger in a lift: Did you by any chance see the Lion game last

night?…

Have students conclude their answers. For example, the closer you know

people whom you are writing a letter the less formal the message will sound.

The more distant the letter reader is the more formal your writing will be.
