Dear Mr. Jones,

I’m a university student from Finland and I’m writing to get some information
about your language courses this summer. I’ve got a few questions:
1. Do you do a course for university students, which helps them with their
essay writing skills?
2. How many hours a week are the courses?
3. What sort of accommodation do you offer?
4. What after-school activities are there?
5. Do you do any trips to other towns in the UK?
I’m hoping to come over in June, so if you can get back to me as soon as
possible, it would be great. Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Jaana Nikkinen

Teacher’s Tips

- Use an informative subject line, which says what the email is about.
- Write the most important information first.
- Use numbers and bullet points to make the message clearer.
- Use simple grammar. Avoid things like the passive. (As emails are a fast means of
communication, they tend to be less wordy and complex than formal letters.)
- Write short sentences.
- Use paragraphs to keep the email clear and easy to understand
