На что нужно обратить внимание, чтобы получить за личное письмо на английском языке максимум баллов!

I. Слова- связки

You know, … — Знаешь ли, …

By the way, … — Кстати, …

Actually, … — Вообще-то, …

So, …  — Итак, …

Luckily, …  — К счастью, …

Unluckily, … — К несчастью, …

Anyway, … — Во всяком случае, …

Predictably, … — Как и ожидалось, …

Well, … — Ну,…

As for (the weather), … — Что касается (погоды),

Слова- связки ставятся в личном письме в начало предложения, выделяются запятой и повышают ваши баллы!! 

II. Разговорные выражения

Guess what? – Представляешь!

Wish me luck! – Пожелай мне удачи!

Oh, and another thing! – И еще одно!

How are things with you? -Как у тебя дела?

III. Также используйте несколько сложных грамматических конструкций:

пассивный залог: I was invited to… Меня пригласили

сложное дополнение: My parents wanted me to start… Мои родители хотели, чтобы я начал….

сослагательное наклонение: I wish I my summer holidays were longer. Жаль, что летние каникулы такие короткие.

и лексических конструкций:

be worth seeing: Madam Tussaud’s museum is worth seeing. Музей мадам Тюссо стоит посетить.

feel like doing: I feel like going to the cinema tonight. Мне хочется пойти в кино сегодня вечером.

IV. Лексика

Не используйте простые прилагательные. Замените их более интересными.

interesting –> incredible, terrific, fascinating, entertaining, exciting, educational

boring –> tiring, complicated, monotonous

bad –> disappointing, depressing

good –> unforgettable, wonderful, unbelievable, gorgeous

И последнее, не пишите слова, в которых Вы не уверены. Потому что орфографические ошибки снижают ваши баллы. Удачи

На экзамене предлагается отрывок из письма от вашего возможного друга по переписке. В письме содержится некая новость и несколько вопросов, где у вас спрашивают мнения, совета и т.п.

Требуется написать письмо-ответ, начиная с вашего краткого обратного адреса в верхнем правом углу, даты под адресом, приветствия и заканчивая прощальной фразой и именем.

Прежде всего, чтобы написать письмо, нужно знать правила орфографии и пунтуации английского языка и стараться им следовать – тому, кому вы адресовали письмо, будет приятно читать грамотно составленное письмо.

Одним из заданий по английскому языку как в ЕГЭ, так и в ОГЭ является написание личного письма в ответ на письмо “англоговорящего друга по переписке”. Оно входит в часть C, как и написание сочинения по английскому языку. При этом, если в ЕГЭ объем письма – 100-140 слов, то в ОГЭ установлен лимит в 100-120 слов, т.к. в ЕГЭ дается задание задать 3 вопроса, а в ОГЭ – просто ответить на письмо, хотя, в любом случае, если вы напишете вопросы, то это будет плюсом.

Написание письма на иностранном языке является несложным заданием, которое необходимо выполнить максимально быстро, чтобы оставить время на выполнение других заданий. Итак, рассмотрим единые правила написания личного письма. Чтобы было легче всё понять, посмотрите специально отобранное 5-ege.ru видео:



В правом верхнем углу укажите адрес в следующем порядке (порядок обратный российскому):

квартира
номер дома, название улицы
город
страна
Допускается указывать адрес в кратком виде, например:
Moscow
Russia

Под адресом, пропустив строку, необходимо написать дату письма:
June 4th, 2012
4 June 2012
или менее формально:
04/06/12

Письмо начинается с неофициального обращения. Если в задании имя вашего собеседника не указано, его следует придумать:
Dear Tim,
Dear Rebecca,
После обращения нужно поставить запятую!

Разделите текст письма на несколько логических абзацев, каждый из которых начните с красной строки.

1. В первом абзаце вам следует поблагодарить своего друга за его письмо:
Thanks (a lot) for your (last) letter.
Your last letter was a real surprise.
I was glad to get your letter.
It was great to hear from you! / It was great to hear that… / I was happy to hear…
Вы можете также извиниться за то, что не писали раньше:
Sorry I haven’t written for so long but …/ Sorry I haven’t been in touch for so long.
I’m sorry I haven’t answered earlier but I was really busy with my school.
и/или упомянуть какой-либо факт из полученного письма:
I’m glad you passed your History test!
Sounds like you had a great time in London!
Great news about your…!

2. Основная часть письма (2–3 абзаца). В ней вы должны раскрыть все аспекты, указанные в задании. Не забудьте задать необходимые вопросы.

Предполагается, что письмо должно быть написано в неформальном стиле, поэтому вы можете использовать неформальные слова-связки, такие как well, by the way, anyway, so, разговорные выражения типа Guess what? Или Wish me luck!, а также восклицательные знаки.

http://5-ege.ru/napisanie-pisma-na-anglijskom-yazyke/
3. В последнем параграфе объясните, почему вы заканчиваете письмо:
Well, I’d better go now as I have to do my homework.
Anyway, I have to go now because my Mum asked me to help her with the washing up.
I’ve got to go now! It’s time for my favourite TV show.

и упомяните о дальнейших контактах:
Write (back) soon!
Take care and keep in touch!
Drop me a letter when you can.
Hope to hear from you soon.
I can’t wait to hear from you!

В конце письма на отдельной строке указывается завершающая фраза-клише, которая зависит от того, насколько близки автор и адресат. После нее всегда ставится запятая! Ниже приводятся возможные варианты от наименее формального (1) к более формальному (8):

Love,
Lots of love,
All my love,
All the best,
Best wishes,
With best wishes,
Yours,
Warm regards,
На следующей строке под завершающей фразой указывается имя автора (без фамилии!). Например:
Andy или Kate

Таким образом, письмо к другу имеет следующий вид:

Адрес пишущего (указывается в правом верхнем углу)
Дата письма (под адресом)

Обращение,
В начале письма автор обычно а) благодарит адресата за ранее полученную корреспонденцию; б) извиняется, что не писал раньше.
Основная часть письма (2—3 абзаца). В ней должны быть раскрыты
все аспекты, указанные в задании.
Не забудьте задать все необходимые вопросы.
В конце письма автор обычно упоминает о причине окончания письма, а также о дальнейших контактах (используются фразы-клише).
Завершающая фраза,
Подпись автора (имя)

You have received a letter from your English- speaking pen-friend who writes
…All in all, my birthday party was great! However, one of my friends came to the party in casual clothes. Just jeans and a T-shirt! Of course I didn’t say anything but she felt a bit left out. I was really sorry for her! And what do you usually wear when you go to a birthday party? Is it important in Russia to wear smart clothes at parties? What would you do if you were me?
I’ve got to go now as I have loads of homework to do. Drop me a line when you can.
Lots of  love,

Dear Patricia,
Thanks for your letter. I’m glad your birthday party was a great success!
Well, in Russia we don’t pay much attention to clothes but of course everybody wants to look great! Actually, any clothes will do if a person feels comfortable. As for me, I usually wear a skirt and a smart blouse. You were quite right not to take any notice of your friend’s clothes. If I were you, I would have done the same. It’s not the clothes that count, after all.
By the way, what birthday presents did you get? Did your parents give you what you wanted? What presents did you like most of all? As for me, I prefer books.
I’d better go now. Mum wants me to help with the housework. Take care and stay in touch!
Lots of love,

Ilona

Письмо личного характера

Подготовка к ЕГЭ по английскому языку.  Рекомендации по написанию письма личного характера (С1). Подготовка к заданию (С1) 1. Для написания письма нам отводится 20 минут (из 80 минут общего времени, предназначенного для заданий С1 и С2). 2. Для начала следует ознакомиться с содержанием исходного письма, адресованного нам, и посчитать количество вопросов, содержащихся в нем. В нашем ответном письме придется прокомментировать каждый из этих вопросов, не меняя их последовательности и не пропуская ни одного из них. 3. В исходном письме, как правило, имеется два абзаца, причем второй меняет тему и содержит не вопросы, а новость, актуальную для нашего pen-pal - «друга по переписке». После письма указаны рекомендации по оформлению нашего высказывания. В частности, там содержится тема, по которой мы должны расспросить собеседника. На нее следует обратить особое внимание, так как она, как правило, узкая и конкретная. 4. Также в рекомендациях указано имя партнера по переписке, которое потребуется нам в собственной работе. 5. Объем нашего письма – не менее 90 и не более 154 слов, оптимально – 140-145. Написание письма 1. В правом верхнем углу указываем город, например: Lubertsi, а под названием города, на строчке ниже страну – Russia. Третья строка – дата: 20 March, 2015 2. На следующей строке с отступом пишем обращение: Dear Mark, 3. Следующая строка начинается с полноценного предложения, причем с заглавной буквы, несмотря на тот факт, что обращение завершилось запятой. В этой строке указывается ссылка на предыдущие контакты: необходимо поблагодарить собеседника за письмо, можно извиниться, что мы долго на него не отвечали, и упомянуть какой либо факт из полученного письма. Не нужно выдумывать новую формулировку всякий раз – следует запомнить наизусть одно единственное высказывание и всегда употреблять его в первом абзаце – это экономит время и спасает от возможных ошибок. Например: Thank you for your letter, it’s nice to hear from you again. Sorry I haven’t written back for so long, but I’ve been busy with my project. (I'm glad you passed your history test).  4. Следующий абзац содержит ответы на вопросы собеседника, но начинать его с ответа «в лоб» - нельзя. Необходимо начать со связующего слова: - By the way,... / Well,... и лучше использовать еще одно клише – In your letter you asked me about…. (общая тема). Так как ответы на все три или даже 4 вопроса будут в одном и том же абзаце, следует активно использовать вводные слова, чтобы экзаменаторам было ясно, где закончился ответ на один вопрос и начался новый подпункт. Рекомендуем фразы: - You know,… / As for me,… / As I remember, … / As I know… / To tell the truth,… / To be honest, …/ Anyway,... / Besides,... / Actually,.../ Frankly speaking,.../ (Un)fortunately,.... 5. Если нас спрашивают, скажем, играем ли мы на музыкальных инструментах, а мы напрочь лишены слуха, все равно не стоит давать отрицательного ответа, так как это делает невозможным дальнейшее развитие мысли. Сочиняйте! И не бойтесь последствий – никто не проверит, действительно ли вы гений игры на фортепьяно или вам медведь на ухо наступил. 6. В идеале каждый ответ должен содержать 2 предложения – первое краткое, излагающее суть нашей позиции. Второе же – более развернутое, содержащее примеры и развитие идеи. 7. После ответа на последний вопрос переходим к следующему абзацу. Начинаем его с вводной фразы: - Well,.../ By the way,...  и с клише: - The news about(тема) was exciting. Далее – наши вопросы по обозначенной теме. Их должно быть три, причем в идеале это должны быть вопросы разных типов – общий, специальный и «с хвостиком». Можно применить косвенные вопросы: - Tell me more about...,I want to know more about... Let me ask you some questions about... 8. На отдельной строке мы должны  извиниться, что обрываем письмо и запросить ответа. Это также должна быть общая формулировка, подходящая для любой работы. Например: - Sorry but I must go now as Mom is waiting for me. Looking forward to you reply!  Если ресурс слов почти исчерпан, можно воспользоваться более короткой фразой: - That’s all for now. Write back soon!  9. На отдельной строке – прощание, завершающееся запятой. Например: - Love, или же Hugs and kisses, 10. Строчкой ниже – наше имя, но без точки, так как выступает вместо подписи. 11. Затем следует еще раз пересчитать слова и убедиться, что мы не вышли за указанные рамки. Числительные и краткие формы (isn’t / wasn’t и т.д.) считаются за одно слово.
