Writing                                                                                                                         

Write a letter of advice to a friend in Dublin, James O’Leary, who has done an elementary Italian course and wants to improve his language skills. He has asked you for some tips and advice.

You can use expression to give advice like: ‘Why don’t you…?’, ‘If I were you, I……’, ‘What about….’, ‘I think you should….’, ‘It might be a good idea to….’, Another useful thing to do would be to….’, ‘I wouldn’t worry too much about……’ and ‘You could also……’.

Think about the layout, structure and normative language for this type of informal letter. Work with your group. You will probably need 2 meetings on a social media platform like Zoom. Make sure you talk in English all the time. Someone in the meeting should act as secretary and type the first draft on their pc as the others produce ideas and sentences. They should send the draft to everyone. At the second meeting, you should add to it, check it and correct it. The secretary sends it to me on behalf of the group. Everyone keeps a copy. No individual letters, please. Take your time. No hurry. Do the exercise properly.
