FCE Weekly Writing Activity 1.5

Formal Letters and Emails

All Level 6 students have a formal letter homework coming soon (S6 it's due this week coming!).

Go here for a good collection of language. Use it to answer the questions below - you can post your answers here via Comment, or ask us questions if you have doubts or other suggestions.

So, on the page above, can you find, in order:
  1. As many variations as possible on the word satisfy.
  2. A phrase for as a result
  3. A word for topic
  4. A phrase inviting someone to contact you
  5. A formal verb for ask
  6. An alternative to regarding
  7. A very impressive substitute for I can't
And, as a more difficult challenge, can you find any word order that is formal? This is pretty tricky but there are examples there. Feedback next week.

  1. Remember that good writing looks for synonyms to avoid too much repition.
