Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Баранова, Дули, Копылова 6 класс, Просвещение: 2 Writing Bank
Informal messages / notes
Informal messages or notes are short pieces of writing we write to inform people about something, ask them to do something for us, arrange a meeting, etc
Messages provide all the information needed without being chatty. We usually omit words such as personal pronouns (I, you, etc), articles (a/an, the, etc), auxiliaries (am, have, etc) and greetings (Dear. Yours, etc).
We can use the imperative, informal linkers, participles and short verb forms. We don’t normally write in paragraphs.
Useful Language
Starting a message
Person’s first name only, e.g. Tony/Mark. Reason for writing the message
Need to work late.
Had to go shopping.
Got phone call from Janusz.
Richard just called and …
Couldn’t wait for you.
Had to go to the (supermarket). Making arrangements for later
Be back in… (an hour).
I won’t be late.
Call you later.
See you at (the cinema).
Call me if you have any problems. Making suggestions
How about…?
We could (meet)…
Asking for a favour
Can/Could you…?
Please, (… take it to …).
Ending a message

Cheers.

Practice
1 Read the model below. Why isn’t it appropriate? Think about:
layout
way it starts/ends
chatty language
omission of pronouns/articles/auxiliaries
2 Rewrite it to make it appropriate.
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

Ответ

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.

2.

Becky,

Laura phoned this afternoon. Her dog is sick, and she asked me to take it to the vet with her. Can’t come with you to the shopping centre. Sorry!

Might be late. If I finish early, I’ll call you so we can meet there. Or we could go to the cinema.

Text me if you agree.

Olga
