Question

In pairs. Read the email that Aurelia sent to Ms Miller, head of a language school in Brighton. What mistakes do you think she has made?

Answer

  • Informality: The email is overly informal, starting with "Hello!" and using multiple exclamation marks and casual language like "Hi Sarah!!!" and "TTYL."
  • Spelling and grammar errors: "u" instead of "you," "do" instead of "does," and missing punctuation like question marks.
  • Lack of clarity: The questions are not clearly stated, and there's no clear request for information.
  • Abbreviations: "TTYL" (Talk To You Later) is too casual for a formal email.
