Стр.WB2 Writing Bank 2 ГДЗ Starlight Баранова 6 класс
You offered to help your English classmate with an assignment, but you need to meet a friend of yours. Leave a note for your classmate.
In your message:
- explain why you need to go out;
- apologise for the inconvenience;
- tell him/her when you are coming back;
- tell him/her to call you if he/she needs something.
Read the model below. Why isn’t it appropriate? Think about:
- layout;
- way it starts/ends;
- chatty language;
- omission of pronouns/articles/auxiliaries.
Dear Becky,
Laura telephoned this afternoon. Her dog is sick and she asked me to take it to the vet with her. Unfortunately, this means I cannot come with you to the shopping centre. 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 there. Alternatively, we could go to the cinema. Please send me a text message to let me know if you agree.
Yours, Olga
Rewrite it to make it appropriate.
1. The model is not appropriate because it looks too formal, has a letter layout, starts and ends like a letter, and uses chatty language. It also uses full forms and unnecessary words instead of short note style.

Text me if you agree.
