Subject: Re: Letter to the editor - a question - rechecked
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.

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.
