Ex 9.
Read the rubric, underline the key words and answer the questions.
You are a member of a local youth club that may have to close due to lack of funds. The youth leader has asked the club members to write an article suggesting ways of raising money to keep the youth club open. Suitable articles will be printed in the club's next newsletter.
Write your article. You should write between 120 and 180 words.
1. Who are the target readers? How formal does your writing need to be?
2. What do you have to write?
3. Which of the following suggestions could you make (√)?
[ ] Buy new equipment
[ ] Increase the monthly charge to members
[ ] Ask the local council for help
[ ] Open a new youth club somewhere else
[ ] Approach local companies for sponsorship
[ ] Move to cheaper premises
4. For each of the suggestions that you ticked above, say what the expected result would be.
5. What useful language could you use to introduce the suggestions and results?
Ex 10.
a. Work in pairs. Read models A and B below, and say which one is a poor answer to the rubric in Ex. 9. Think about whether:
• the title is suitable • the introduction catches the reader's attention • the writer follows the instructions in the rubric • the style is appropriate for the target reader • the writer paraphrases the rubric • the suggestions are suitable
MODEL A:
IS THE NORTH FIELDS YOUTH CLUB GOING TO CLOSE DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS?
In the present financial climate, many clubs and businesses are struggling to survive. Sports clubs, too, are facing difficulties due to lack of funds.
The main problem seems to be the rent that we pay for the club. It's over £500 a month and that's just too much really. What about moving to cheaper premises – has anyone thought of that?
The youth leader has asked the club members to write an article suggesting ways of raising money to keep the youth club open.
I know that the club's not perfect but we could buy some new equipment and maybe even decorate it to make it nicer for all of us.
I really like going to the club and I know that most of the others do as well, so come on – let's see if we can do something to save it!
MODEL B:
HELP SAVE OUR YOUTH CLUB
As most of you know, our club is facing a financial crisis. The question is: what are we going to do about it? The suggestions below may or may not work, but one thing is for sure – if we don't act now, we'll lose our club, and that is something that nobody wants.
First of all, I think it would be a good idea to approach the local council for help. If we could persuade the council to make a financial contribution, we would be able to keep going.
Secondly, we could apply to local companies for sponsorship. This would mean that we would offer them free advertising in return for a small donation. As a result, the club could stay open.
Finally, if all that fails, one obvious solution is to increase the fees that we pay for membership of the club. I suggest that each of us pays £5 per month. Then, for a very small amount of money, we would be able to continue enjoying all the activities that the club offers.
A meeting to discuss all the suggestions has been arranged on 4th March. Please try to be there – it might be our last chance!
