1.2. CELPIP Writing Advanced Masterclass - Task 1 - Outline and Tone

In this series of video lectures, you will learn everything you need to know about CELPIP writing task 1, otherwise known as the Email task.
The course consists of a series of lessons, which should be viewed in sequence. In the second lesson of the series, we look at the preparation process, during which you brainstorm ideas and draw an outline for your email.
In the upcoming lessons, we will examine each component of the email separately, starting with the salutation. We will then review some useful language expressions for each type of function (e.g., requests, complaints, etc.). Finally, we will end the course with some sample responses.
You can access full content of this course by becoming a member of the channel.
Let me know what you think we should do if the task prompt comes with 4 bullets instead of 3?

Contractions can be used in informal letters as far as CELPIP is concerned?

[@fasttrackesl]

Good question.
You see, it’s not all-or-nothing, which means just by using a contraction or two, your writing won’t suddenly become informal, nor would avoiding them make your letter formal.
Advanced learners will use contractions and still sound formal (and natural).
If you want to play it safe, avoid contractions except for very common/frequent ones such as “it’s”, “I’m” and “isn’t”
Remember, (in)formality can be achieved through a number of linguistic choices (only one of which is the use of contractions).
