  1. the lesson concerning writing in this unit is about writing an e-mail not a fromal letter

    • A formal letter to the editor or to an organization ( such as the case is unit 8) or to authorities or to a school magazine is similar to a formal email. The focus of the lesson is writing a formal letter/email: they are the same despite very few differences especially concerning addresses. At this point students should not worry much about this

  2. Very nice and useful website 😉
