Рекомендации к  написанию письма личного характера

(Из опыта работы)

     1. Организация письма:

- адрес (в правом верхнем углу письма, можно краткий);

- дата (под адресом);

- обращение на отдельной строке;

- вступление (благодарность за полученное письмо; извинение, что задержался с ответом; реакция на содержание полученного письма; можно поинтересоваться, как дела, или написать, как у вас обстоят дела);

- основная часть письма: а) ответы на 3 вопроса; б) нужно задать 3 вопроса;

- заключительная часть включает объяснение, почему заканчиваете письмо и надежды на последующие контакты;

- завершающая фраза;

- подпись;

- PS, если в этом есть необходимость.

Как пишутся адрес и дата?

2. Решение коммуникативной задачи.  Уже с 3 класса, используя технологию «Свободное письмо», я знакомлю ребят с этим видом деятельности. Начинаю с того, что пишу на доске один вопрос и прошу на него дать письменный ответ в тетради. При этом напоминаю детям: «Ребята, помните, что отвечая на вопрос, вы высказываете своё мнение».  (Эта фраза напоминает ребятам, что предложение нужно начать с фразы I think…). Или проговорить What do you think? Например:

Question: What does Hobbit like to eat?

Answer: I think Hobbit likes sweets.

Далее задание усложняется. Вопросов становится два, а затем и три. И для учащихся среднего звена предлагаю такие задания. Прежде всего, у каждого ребёнка есть список средств логической связи, который постоянно можно пополнять:

TodayꞋs teenagers have a new tag line,”IꞋve just got to be me.” Wearing baggy jeans and T – shirts is still important but teens like to add their own unique pieces of clothing. I enjoyed a popular layered style and I usually wear denim jeans and open cardigans as they are very comfortable.

Write back and tell me about your tastes in clothes. Do you follow any fashion trends? Do you enjoy wearing a school uniform? What do you usually wearing for parties?

Task 3: Insert the parentheses where necessary.

The pleasantest season in Europe is spring. In spring the weather is fine and all nature is at its loveliest. The trees put forth little buds and new leaves; the meadows grow green again; the flowers begin to bloom. The farmers till the soil and sow the seed. The nightingale, swallow, cuckoo and other migratory birds come back from Italy or Africa, build their nests, lay and hatch their eggs and bear their young ones. The new crop is shooting up, and if there are no sharp frosts during the night, nature looks full of promise, and the corn fields are made bright by blue corn – flowers and red poppies.

Task 4: Read the extract from the personal letter. Think of the topic of the letter. Write down the key – words on this topic. Answer the questions.

(extract  from the personal letter)

… Lots of people do sports but I am not keen on any sport. I prefer reading detective stories. My parents keep saying that everyone should do some sport. Do you agree with them and why? What sport do you do? What else do you do to keep fit?  … 

1. Topic: Sport
2. Key – words: 1) do sport,  for pleasure, for business; 2) win/lose, be good at, go swimming,; 3) improve oneꞌs health, do exercises at home, join a sport club, get rid of.
3. As far as I understand your parents want you to do sport. I think they are right, because sport makes people healthy and disciplined. To tell the truth I am not good at sport, but I go swimming in summer. I spend much time skating in winter. Itꞌs  worth it. To keep fit I join a sport club. Moreover, in the morning I switch on the TV and follow exercises. I try to eat more fiber food. It improves my health. I do my best to get   rid of snacking.

Как вы заметили, степень сложности увеличивается от первого задания к последнему.
