1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,700
explain the writing that you have to do in this unit which is uploaded in Aula Virtual or

2
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:12,300
specifically in module number two which is the unit we are dealing with now. So if you scroll

3
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:18,300
down and you go down into writing section you may find the informal email. This is the document that

4
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:24,019
we have been talking about in class but I would like to explain it to you in a bit more detail

5
00:00:24,019 --> 00:00:29,980
so you have the general idea of the writing you have to do. So as I have said you have to

6
00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:34,539
write an informal email and you have and it has to be organized into four different paragraphs

7
00:00:34,539 --> 00:00:40,100
and you can see in this chart in the first paragraph we start with the rating so you say

8
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:46,619
hello to the person you are writing to with for example hi michael dear or hi there in the second

9
00:00:46,619 --> 00:00:52,700
paragraph leaving a space between the first paragraph and the second one um you have to you

10
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:57,219
need to sorry you need to include a personal message so for example you can respond to a

11
00:00:57,219 --> 00:01:03,200
message. You can catch up after a break or you can talk about yourself. And I have included here

12
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:09,879
different ideas for you to include. For example, that's for your letter or email and it's great to

13
00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:16,000
hear from you or I can't believe how long it's been since we last talked. These are ideas and

14
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:23,060
you can include these expressions if you want or if you have any other sentences that you want to

15
00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:28,540
include, they will be welcomed. In the third paragraph, you have to talk about the main

16
00:01:28,540 --> 00:01:33,739
topics you want to discuss. So, for example, if you are writing to a friend because you are going

17
00:01:33,739 --> 00:01:39,819
to visit his or her country and you need different advice, you include that information here. Or

18
00:01:39,819 --> 00:01:44,519
maybe if you are writing to your grandmother because you don't know what to do at university,

19
00:01:44,519 --> 00:01:49,900
you include that information in this paragraph. So, you may include different sentences such as,

20
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:59,019
Do you remember I told you in my last lecture or I've managed to find out some information about language schools for you and so on and so forth.

21
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,519
And finally, in the last paragraph, we say goodbye to our friend with a closing message or with a closing expression.

22
00:02:05,739 --> 00:02:09,080
So, for example, we say lots of love to you and your family.

23
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,020
Hope everyone's doing well or a closing.

24
00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:13,900
Sorry, or right soon.

25
00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:14,620
Bye for now.

26
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:15,280
See you soon.

27
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:15,979
And so on.

28
00:02:15,979 --> 00:02:23,580
I have also included in this document a couple of examples for you to read, to analyze, and

29
00:02:23,580 --> 00:02:27,900
for you to have an idea of the kind of writing that I'm asking you to do.

30
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:34,240
So if you read example number one and example number two, you may have the idea of the kind

31
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,280
of writing that you need to do in terms of information, informality, or the structure

32
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,159
that you need to use.

33
00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:44,319
And that could be all for now.

34
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:45,319
Thank you.
