Writing (a letter). Think of a problem you have. Write a short letter to Claire. Try to use (to) -inf or -ing forms. Swap papers and reply to your partner's problem.
План короткого письма:
- Обращение: Dear Claire.
- Проблема: мало времени на подготовку к экзаменам, потому что много занятий после школы.
- Использовать формы с инфинитивом и -ing: I can't afford to waste time, I'm keen on playing the guitar, I can't stand getting up early, I'm looking forward to the weekend.
- Просьба о совете: What do you advise me to do?
- Прощание: Write back soon.
Ответ партнёру (reply): коротко посоветовать, использовав формы с to-inf или -ing.
После can't afford, want, decide, advise someone употребляем to + инфинитив; после keen on, can't stand, look forward to, why not, try — форму -ing.
Dear Claire,
I have a small problem. I can't afford to waste time, but I never manage to finish my homework! I'm keen on playing the guitar, so I spend hours practising it. I also can't stand getting up early, so I'm always tired at school. I'm looking forward to the weekend, but I have to study for the test. What do you advise me to do?
Write back soon,
Anna
Reply to a partner:
Dear Anna,
Don't worry! Try to make a timetable and stick to it. Why not practise the guitar for only one hour a day? Also, try going to bed earlier. I'm sure it will help!
Best wishes,
Claire
