- Capital letters, full stops and question marksStart a sentence with a capital letter and end it with a full stop or a question mark. Use capitals for I, names, places, days and languages, and never join two sentences with a comma.
- Joining ideas with and, but and becauseJoin two ideas with and, but or because. Learn which word fits, where the reason goes and two common mistakes. Then read Leo’s text and write your own sentences.
- A short email to a friend: start, news and endLearn the parts of a short email to a friend: the start, a friendly first line, your news, a question and the end. Read an email and a reply, then write your own lines.
- Write a note or a text messageWrite short notes and texts to a neighbour or a colleague: who it is for, why you write, what you want and who it is from. Ask nicely, and write full words in the test.
- Fill in a form and write a postcardFill in a form: surname, date of birth (day first), nationality and signature. Try a form like IELTS Listening Part 1, then read a postcard and write your own.
