• Sometimes we need to give advice in letters.Depending on how formal the writing is, we cn use special phrases.

• We usually write 4/5 paragraphs.• In the introduction we express sympathy and say that

we understand the problem or that we think we can help.

• In the main body we make suggestions and give our reasons.

• We write each paragraph in a separate paragraph.• In the conclusion we write our closing remarks and

sign off.

Introduction (1)

• Dear Fiona,

(1) I’m so glad to hear that you have decided to move to London. It’ll be great to have a friend from home living here. We’ll be able to do things together like we used to. In your letter you asked me to give you some advice finding a flat; here are some suggestions.

Main body(2)

• (2) If I were you I would start by checking advertisements in the London papers. For example, the “Daily Mail” and the “Evening Standard” have large sections with houses and flats for rent.

That way, you will be able to see what is available for rent at the moment.

• (3) Another good idea is to contact an estate agent. Goldsmith and Howland have offices all over

London.By doing this you can get a list of all the places in the area you want at a price you can afford.

STEPS IN PORTFOLIO ASSESSMENT

• Second, the teacher should develop evaluation procedures

•Third, the teacher needs a plan for holding portfolio conferences

• Emphasis on the entire learning process

• Portfolio not only shows a student's performance, but also his/her efforts

• Students are responsible for their own learning

• Increase students' motivation and self-respect, and satisfaction

• Students compete with themselves, rather than with other students

• Teacher can use portfolios to manage teaching

DISADVANTAGES
