- 3.Объяснение нового материала.
T: When you are writing a formal letter, it is important to include the correct parts and arrange the parts in the correct order.
Ex. 1 Let’s discuss the plan of the letter. This is a formal letter, not one you would write to a friend. Go through the parts to make sure you have understood all the vocabulary. Label the different parts of the letter on the plan. (Draw the plan of the letter on the board and ask students to come up and label it.)
Name the parts of a formal letter. Use the greeting, the topic, the close, the date, the sender’s address, the main part, the sender’s signature and name, the receiver’s name and address.
Answers: 1 – the sender’s address, 2 - the receiver’s name and address, 3 - the date, 4 - the greeting, 5 - the topic, 6 - the main part, 7 - the close, 8 - the sender’s signature and name.
