Practise now
Write an email to a friend inviting them to a weekend activity. Say what, when, where, and why they’ll enjoy it.
How to improve
Plan for two minutes
Write your main points and the order before you start. A clear plan makes a clear text.
One idea per paragraph
Start each paragraph with a sentence that says what it’s about, then support it with details or examples.
Link your ideas
Use however, as a result, for example and in addition to guide the reader — but don’t overuse them.
Vary your sentences
Mix short and long sentences, and use words like although, which and when to build complex sentences.
Check for your own mistakes
Keep a list of your common errors (articles, -s, tenses) and check for them every time you finish.
Match the tone
An email to a friend and a complaint to a company need different greetings, phrases and levels of formality.
