TRAIN YOUR BRAIN
Writing skills
A letter to a magazine
1 Use a formal style. Start with Dear Editor/Sir/ Madam and end with Yours faithfully and your full name.
2 In the first paragraph mention the article or letter you are writing about and say clearly if you agree with it or not.
3 Start a new paragraph for each of your arguments. Use phrases like first of all, then, next and finally.
4 Quote opinions from the original article. Use these phrases to say whether you agree with them or not.
I totally (dis)agree with this.
I have to say, I (dis)agree with this.
In my opinion, this is very unfair/a good point/ nonsense.
Mind the trap!
When we know the name of the person we are writing to, we finish formal letters with Yours sincerely and NOT Yours faithfully.
5 Complete Surinder’s letter to the editor using letters A and В and Train Your Brain to help you
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing in connection with Julie Boyle’s article ‘Just what is wrong with today’s young people?’ which appeared in your newspaper last Saturday. I have to say I disagree with many things Ms Boyle wrote about.
First of all, Ms Boyle believes that all teenagers get up late and then spend all day watching TV. However, in my opinion 1 this is very unfair. Many teenagers have part time jobs at the weekend and others, who are studying, spend a lot of time reading and doing homework.
Next, the article suggests that teenagers don’t wash or change their clothes. In my opinion this is 2 completely untrue. Teenagers take a lot of care over their appearance and, although their fashions may appear strange to older people, they are very hygienic. Finally, Ms Boyle suggests that teenagers are unpleasant and never smile. 3 In my opinion this is nonsense. Although some teenagers may not be pleasant, the majority are kind, friendly, helpful people.
I wonder what other readers think about this issue.
Yours faithfully,
Surinder Sodhi
