The assignment in last summer's G was to write a "passage" for the newspaper (that is - an article). So writing a formal letter would show misunderstanding of the task, and so 4 points would be taken off. the task was NOT to write a letter to the editor. sara g

According to the Ministry's instructions for grading a formal letter to the editor for Summer 2005, the students should NOT write it in the formal letter format and should just begin with "Dear editor,". If they do use the formal letter format, 4 points are deducted.
However, according to the course books and reference books we've used, a formal letter to the editor is just like any other formal letter. The newspaper omits the heading to save space, but the writer must write it.


Well, the question is: what do we tell our Module F students before the coming winter exam? Can we have an official answer? If there is a letter to the editor on the exam, I don't want my students to lose 4 points just for remembering the correct format.
