APTIS PRACTICE : FORMAL EMAIL

Full name: ___________________________ Date:______ Semester. ____

Part Four: (Suggested time 20 minutes.)

After being a member of the gym for a few weeks, you receive this email from the
gym’s manager.

Dear Members,

We are writing to inform you that from next week the gym will be closed at weekends for
two months. This is due to that fact that we need to renovate the changing rooms and
showers. We have decided that Saturdays and Sundays will be the best days to carry out
this work, as attendance is much lower then. We apologise for the inconvenience, and
hope you will understand that it is for the benefit of everyone.

Write an email to the manager. Write about your feelings and what you think about
the situation. Write 120-150 words.

 As always, when you’ve finished writing, check through your work. Look for:

o spelling and punctuation mistakes

o grammar mistakes (for example tenses, 3rd person ‘s’ endings, wrong preposition)
o correct use of paragraphs
o correct word counts
