Writing
Write real emails and messages; the tutor corrects and explains the why.
Quick guides for clear, natural writing — then pick a task in Practice.
Structure of an email
- •Subject line: short and specific ('Damaged item — order #48213').
- •Greeting: Hi team, / Dear Mr Lee, (formal) — match the tone.
- •Opening line: say why you're writing in one sentence.
- •Body: one idea per paragraph; keep it scannable.
- •Closing: a clear next step + sign-off (Best, / Kind regards,).
Formal vs informal
- •Informal: contractions (I'm, don't), phrasal verbs, 'Hi/Hey', exclamation marks.
- •Formal: full forms (I am), precise verbs (request, require), 'Dear…', no slang.
- •Avoid 'gonna/wanna' and emojis in formal writing.
- •When unsure, lean slightly more formal — it's safer.
Linking words that level you up
- •Adding: moreover, in addition, furthermore.
- •Contrast: however, on the other hand, whereas, despite + noun.
- •Result: therefore, as a result, consequently.
- •Examples: for instance, such as, in particular.
- •Don't overuse them — one good linker beats three weak ones.
Structuring an opinion / essay
- •Open with your position (thesis) in the first sentence.
- •Give 2–3 reasons, each in its own paragraph, with an example.
- •Acknowledge the other side ('It is true that…, however…').
- •Conclude by restating your view — don't add new ideas.
