You offered to cook a meal for your English pen friend but you need to take your dog to the vet. Leave a note for your friend.
In your message:
- explain why you need to go out;
- ask your roommate to go shopping for the food you need;
- tell him/her where to buy the food;
- tell him/her you are paying for the shopping.
Read the model below. Why isn’t it appropriate? Think about:
- layout;
- way it starts/ends;
- chatty language;
- omission of pronouns/articles/auxiliaries.
Dear Sophie,
Jackie telephoned this afternoon. She is sick and she asked me to take her to the doctor’s. I said yes. Unfortunately this means I cannot come with you to the aerobics class. Would you mind if you go on your own? I might be late. If I finish early. I’ll call you so that we meet for coffee. Alternatively we could have dinner together. Please send me a text message to let me know if you agree.
Best wishes,
Louise- Rewrite it to make it appropriate.
1. The model isn’t appropriate because it is too formal, too long and too chatty for an informal note. It also uses full sentences, pronouns and articles, and it has a formal beginning and ending.

Sophie,
Jackie called this afternoon. She’s ill, so I have to take her to the doctor’s. Sorry, but I can’t come to the aerobics class with you. Could you go on your own?
I might be late. If I finish early, I’ll call you and we can meet for coffee. Or we could have dinner together.
Text me and let me know.
