Situational Writing

Dear all,

The situational writing for unit 10 was not well written. As such, I feel the need to revise one more time and to go through the essential points.

• Always remember your role that you are writing as and who you writing to (your audience)

If it is a formal memo, letter or note, you need not start with "How are you?" Your tone of writing and language must be formal and to the point. Do not add in  informal speeches or any short forms. Do not write as if you are writing to a friend or penpal. It must be formal if it required. 

• Do not ever use short forms in your writing.
• State the purpose in the first sentence.

This is important. Your purpose of writing must be clearly stated in the first sentence as that is the most important part to what your note/letter/report/memo is about. 

• Set paragraphs for your writing with two finger spacing from the left hand margin to clearly indicate paragraphing.
• Be straight to the point and do not add in unnecessary details or your own details! Follow the points given in the question strictly! 

Regards,

Mr Nelson Ong
