APTIS Writing
Todas las partes del writing giran en torno a un tema (un club de lectura, de cine, etc). La primera parte solo requiere responder con una frase, la segunda y tercera se responder con unas líneas siempre con un tono informal. La última parte, la más larga, requiere responder dos cartas/mails, una de manera informal y la otra formal. Aquí debes demostrar que conoces la diferencia entre el registro informal y formal entorno a un mismo tema.
Ejemplo :
INFORMAL Hi Peter I´m writing to tell you about…
Just a quick note to tell you about
If you ask me, they should… Let me know what you think
FORMAL Dear Mr. Smith
Dear X complaint department
I am writing to complain about…
I m writting in regard to…
I would like to recommend.. Yours faithfully
