Dear Jack, Hi! How are you? I'm glad to hear that your sister is visiting London. I'm sure she'll have a lovely time. An interesting place for shopping is Camden Town. Some areas are closed on weekdays, but everything is open at weekends. Sunday can get really busy, so Saturday is probably the best day to go. There are all sorts of market stalls and shops there. It's best known for second-hand clothes, modern music, and beautiful handmade crafts. There are lots of international food stalls, too; my favourite is a tiny place that sells tasty Chinese food. I'm sure your sister will find whatever she wants there, at bargain prices! I'd be glad to show her around. Have to go now. I've got a project to finish for Monday. Your friend, Evelyn
На фото два связанных задания. Вот ответы.
2a
- I’m going to write an informal email.
- I’m going to write to Jack, my English-speaking pen friend.
- About where his sister can go shopping in London on a tight budget, when she should go and what kinds of shops there are.
2b
Стиль — неофициальный, дружеский (informal), потому что письмо другу.
Начать можно так:
- Hi Jack,
- Dear Jack,
Закончить:
- Best wishes,
- Take care,
- Your friend, и затем своё имя.
Формальные фразы вроде Dear Sir or Madam здесь не нужны.
3
Соответствие:
- 1 — C — opening remarks & reason for writing
- 2 — A — information asked for
- 3 — A — information asked for
- 4 — B — closing remarks
То есть A используется дважды: во 2-м и 3-м абзацах Эвелин сообщает нужную информацию — место, день и виды магазинов. В 1-м абзаце приветствие и причина письма, в 4-м — завершение.
Пример письма по рубрике 2a
Hi Jack,
Thanks for your email. I’m really glad your sister is visiting London next month. If she is on a tight budget, Camden Town is a great place to go shopping. She should go at the weekend, especially on Saturday, because Sunday is usually very busy. There are lots of interesting market stalls and small shops there. She can find second-hand clothes, handmade crafts and international food at bargain prices. The atmosphere is lively and colourful, and there are open-air stalls too. I’m sure she will find something she likes without spending too much. Hope this helps.
Best wishes, Alex
В этом письме есть ответы на все три вопроса: где — Camden Town, когда — на выходных, особенно в субботу, какие магазины — рыночные лавки, магазины second-hand, ремёсла, еда.
