Стр.86-87 Модуль 3 ГДЗ Starlight Баранова 10 класс
Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Баранова, Дули, Копылова 10 класс, Просвещение: Unit 3.10
Writing: Narrative/Descriptive letters/ emails
A letter/email can use descriptive and/or narrative techniques. Iw example, we may need to write to a hotel manager asking him to check if a piece of luggage which was left at the hotel has been found. This means that we have to write in a formal style and provide a Complete description of the item we are
looking for, applying descriptive techniques.
Or we may want to write to a friend of ours describing a nasty experience we had. This means that we have to write in an informal style, applying narrative techniques (what happened, when, where, how it happened, what happened afterwards etc).
Outline for narrative — descriptive letters/emails
Paragraph 1: reason(s) for writing
Paragraphs 2, 3: description of the event/person/object
Paragraph 4: closing remarks

Dear Julie,
Hi! How are you? I’m writing to tell you all about my new home.
I really love my new flat! It’s quite small, but it’s really cosy, with a lovely warm fireplace. Also, it’s on the seventh floor, so it has a really fantastic view of the city, especially at night when all the lights are twinkling!

Ошибки:
- missing piece of information — не указано, что письмо начинается с Dear Julie,
- spelling mistakes — whether → weather, neighbours (в тексте было neighbors, британский вариант предпочтительнее в учебнике)
- grammar mistakes — the girl which lives → the girl who lives; all night → at night
- opening/closing remark in the wrong style — Hi! и Love подходят для неформального письма, но в модели нужно было сохранить единый стиль и правильное оформление
- sentence which doesn’t match the paragraph topic — I’ve just won a writing competition at school.
- word used too many times — really
