Writing preparation

Welcome to today's class. We are going to look at some writing tips and tricks and what to expect. 

What's the mood for today?

How did the previous exam go?

What does it look like

-We first check if at least 80% of the asked points are in the writing assignment. If you are missing at least 80, we are not allowed to mark you. To save yourself, write all points given. 

-Everything English (obviously) 

-If the lay-out is sharp as hell. If that's not the case, they probably grade you low. 

For instance

The assignment looks like this:

-You work at a hotel and have a partner hotel in London. You want them to come to your hotel to hold a planing for future projects.

*ask them to join for a meeting

*tell them they are staying at your luxurious suites

*there is a whole planning made wherein their team is going to meet yours

*the duration of this trip is 3 days.

*there is no fee for them

Write this in around 80 words. 

When looked at the previous slide it would mean that 3 points should be written in the assignment. However, do not risk it and write all 5. The assessor can say that the given points are not elaborated enough and want to fail you.

Tip: don't risk. Write down all points.

More tips

-Good grammar

-Please write clear and neat

-Make use of paragraphs. One subject per paragraph. 

-Make use of the vocab lists in your book or this site https://www.enchantedlearning.com/wordlist/office.shtml

-If you don't know a word find a synonym. 

-WRITE DOWN ALL THE POINTS GIVEN

Time for you to practice 

Example of this assignment

As you can see clear 

paragraph usage. 

Introduction--> body part--> closing.

Greeting and nice ending. 

Professional tone usage. 

What is going to happen to our letters?

I am going to check them and add some comments, so you kind of have an idea on what to expect and what you still need to work on. I hope and try to finish it this week. 

Any questions? Or anything else you want me to know?
