THNX JIGR!

WHEN THE QUESTION SAYS START WITH "DEAR PRINCIPLE"

does that mean we write everything for the report (such as date, from, subject) or just start off directly??

 

[scouserlfc]

DIRECTLY OBEY THE CIE YAAR

 

[zain786]

@Zain so hows your preparation of english going? and i need to ask that in letter adresss do we have to write like this the adress:

Examination Hall,
centre no/candidate no
karachi.Pakistan
date

 

[OakMoon!]

No. The question always tell you how to start. And usually, in CIE papers you directly start with "Dear ....", just like the question asks you to do so.

 

[CaptainDanger]

Right.... You can see that in the sp... They say Start your letter "Dear Principal" Don't even say you may... So you have to start directly...

 

[leosco1995]

What? I always thought that you have to write the format of the letter and then start with 'Dear Principal'..

 

[CaptainDanger]

You don't have to...

 

[scouserlfc]

wel the truth is i havnt givn much attention to english then to the rest of my subs which i find sad now

to ur answr according to my redspot pastpaper book
all the letters written just start with dear sir/princi/parent etc unless STATED1 ]

CORRECT ME IF IMWRONG GUYZ

 

[scouserlfc]

well dont know abt it check Er or MS and try to see whether they say they give marks for format or something/

 

[rafae]

Dude I don't think so. Redspot is totally rubbish for english I think. You should get that Cambridge revision guide for o'levels (english). or Progressive English.
It is absurd not to include the format of a letter if they ask you to write one. That is unethical na .
Just include the formats, or you will be losing out on 10 marks out of 15 for directed writing.

Just a side note: Directed Writing is composed of two marking areas.
One is Language section (15) and one is Task fulfillment (15)

If you look at the mark scheme, it says that the completion of task fulfillment (15 marks): includes giving a PROPER format and covering all the content points they give plus having an appropriate tone and audience.

The rest of the 15 marks are the language section, which composes of your vocabulary waghera.

 

[scouserlfc]

yeah u are right dude

 

[zain786]

yea rafaez rite

ive gt that giude book bt its too late now.

just do wt the teacher tought u!
write the full format!

 

[leosco1995]

Redspot is totally rubbish for english I think.

Correction: Redspot is totally rubbish for all subjects.

 

[zain786]

i prepared my pak studies with it an got an astounding A at 89.
it does have defaults bt its bettr than classified yaar

 

[Muhammad Talha]

What? I always thought that you have to write the format of the letter and then start with 'Dear Principal'..
