Writing Task 1:

Informal:
You need to organize a surprise party for your classmate. Email
your friends and organize this party. You should say:

· why the party is needed


· when and where should it be
· what the classmates should do

You should write between 150-200 words.

Brainstorm 2-3 minutes:


B1 - friend has been sad/good way to meetup
B2 - when/where
B3 - bring some food/be ready to shout ‘surprise’

Dear Bob,

1. Hopefully, you guys are in great spirits! My apologies for not being
in touch with you all, but I am making up for it via this letter; at
least I hope so!

2. I can’t stop but continuously think of how morose Hannah has been
since she has started feeling homesick. Not only will a surprise party
cheer her up, it will also be an awesome way to catch up with you all!

3. How does this Saturday evening past 6 pm sound; or is that too close
to working hours? Recently, I have been falling in love with Queen’s
Park, and I mentally cannot picture a better spot!
4. If you guys can take care of the food and drinks, that will take a lot of
pressure off my mind. Finally, and this is a must, when Hannah shows
up, we all have to toss our introverted natures aside and shout
‘SURPRISE!’

5. I am hoping this letter finds you well. Do get back to me whenever


you get a chance. Can’t wait to see you guys soon!

Best Regards,

Charlie

Formal:

Your office performance is getting badly affected due to some of


your colleagues constantly bullying you. This is making you quite
upset and you have decided to write to your boss about it. You
should mention the following details:

· describe the situation


· express how it makes you feel
· suggest what you would like done about it

You should write at between 150-200 words.

Brainstorming:
B1: stutter/bullying me
B2: demotivating/mental stress (migraines)
B3: give warnings/separate our work cubicle

Dear Mr. Harry,

1. The purpose of my writing today is to lodge a complaint about


certain office behaviour that I find quite inappropriate and
unethical.

2. To begin with, my inborn stuttering dilemma exposes me to a good


amount of ridicule which, unfortunately, has become a focal point for
some of my colleagues to use against me. On top of that, the verbal
offences have now transitioned into physical ones as things are being
hurled at me repeatedly.

3. Given that I am surrounded by my colleagues 24/7, it culminates in an


extremely toxic working atmosphere for me. For instance, my doctor has
been pointing out warning signs of early depression since this began;
this is on top of my existing suicidal thoughts.
4. Considering the above, I am pleading you to start warning them for
the sake of my mental health. In case that seems to be cumbersome,
please move them away from my current cubicle.

5. I am looking forward to seeing how my suggestions promptly


translate into actions from your side. Your kind cooperation would
be most appreciated.

Sincerely,

Sean Zad
