Написання листів

I. Vocabulary

1. Think of different types of letters, letter writing rules, words used to write each type of letters. Be ready to tell about it.

	Letter
Formal	inform	transactional

2. Read the information about letters.

Letters can be formal or informal. There are quite a few types of letters such as: letters of invitation, letters accepting or refusing invitations, letters asking for or giving further information, applications, letters of complaint, letters of apology, letters giving or asking for directions, letters asking for advice, letters to a friend about the latest news, letters expressing thanks/regrets/congratulations, etc.

Before we start writing a letter it is important to think about who we are writing to. If we use the wrong style, the letter will look odd, silly or impolite. For example, if we write to a company and use informal language, the letter will look impolite. In the same way, if we write to a friend and use formal language, the letter will look odd.
