Adapt letters and emails to the reader

Learn it simply

  • A letter or email needs a clear purpose, appropriate relationship, and useful organisation.
  • State why you are writing early, give the information the recipient needs, and make any request specific.
  • A message to a friend can be conversational; a request to a principal usually needs a respectful register.

See it. Say it. Understand it.

Easy / Start here

I am writing to request permission to use the hall on Friday.

Moderate / Add a little

Could you please confirm whether the room is available?

More detail for teachers and confident learners

A letter or email needs a clear purpose, appropriate relationship, and useful organisation. State why you are writing early, give the information the recipient needs, and make any request specific. A message to a friend can be conversational; a request to a principal usually needs a respectful register. Format conventions support communication but do not replace meaningful content. End in a way that suits the relationship. Proofread names, dates, and the requested action because errors in these details can cause practical confusion.

ලියන්නේ ඇයිද යන්න මුලින් කියා ලබන්නාට අවශ්‍ය විස්තර හා ඉල්ලීම පැහැදිලිව ලියන්න. අදාළ ආචාරශීලී රටාව භාවිත කර නම, දිනය හා කළ යුතු දේ පරීක්ෂා කරන්න.

Plan before drafting: identify the reader, the purpose, and the information that must be included. Select a small number of useful details and place them in a logical order. After writing, check the effect on a reader who does not know your intentions. Revise unclear meaning first, then check sentence boundaries, verb forms, spelling, and punctuation.

ලියන්නේ කාටද, ඇයිද සහ ඇතුළත් කළ යුතු කරුණු මොනවාද යන්න මුලින් සැලසුම් කරන්න. අදහස් පිළිවෙළට ලියා, අර්ථය පැහැදිලි කර පසුව වාක්‍ය, ක්‍රියාපද, අක්ෂර වින්‍යාසය හා විරාම ලකුණු පරීක්ෂා කරන්න.

For 0510 practice, communication should be clear, relevant and accurate. Distinguish an examination question's instructions from general English advice, and check the syllabus for your examination year. Speaking is separately endorsed in 0510. These teaching models support selected skills; they do not constitute a full reading, writing, listening and speaking mock.

Organise a clear paragraph

Learn it simply

  • Start with one main idea.
  • Give a reason. Add a short example.
  • End with a sentence that connects to the main idea.

See it. Say it. Understand it.

Easy / Start here

Reading is useful.

Moderate / Add a little

Reading is useful because it helps us learn new words.

Challenge / Try when ready

Regular reading builds vocabulary; for example, a short story can show how familiar words work in a new context.

More detail for teachers and confident learners

A paragraph develops a connected part of a larger text. In an explanation, an opening idea may be followed by a reason, an example, and a sentence showing why it matters. In a story, a new paragraph can mark a change of time, place, speaker, or focus. There is no rule that every paragraph must have the same number of sentences. Check that each sentence belongs and that the reader can follow the movement from one idea to the next. Start a new paragraph when the central focus changes.

After writing, check the effect on a reader who does not know your intentions. Revise unclear meaning first, then check sentence boundaries, verb forms, spelling, and punctuation.

Choose and analyse register

Learn it simply

  • Register is language associated with a situation, relationship, purpose, or field of activity.
  • It is more than a simple formal/informal scale.
  • A medical consultation, a scientific report, and an interview may each use technical vocabulary in different interpersonal ways.

See it. Say it. Understand it.

Easy / Start here

Could you confirm the date? suits a respectful practical enquiry.

Moderate / Add a little

A technical label may save explanation among specialists but require definition for novices.

More detail for teachers and confident learners

Register is language associated with a situation, relationship, purpose, or field of activity. It is more than a simple formal/informal scale. A medical consultation, a scientific report, and an interview may each use technical vocabulary in different interpersonal ways. Examine address terms, pronouns, modal verbs, specialist lexis, sentence patterns, and assumed knowledge. A writer may shift register to create closeness or distance. In your own writing, choose language that helps the audience act or understand; inflated vocabulary can make a request less effective rather than more professional.

Work from meaning to form. Read the first model, identify what the words are doing, and compare it with the second model. Explain the difference aloud before using the pattern in a new sentence. When checking a draft, locate the relevant word or clause and test it in its full sentence; a rule used in isolation may miss the intended meaning.
