A wide range of verb tenses, for example: present tenses for general and current situations; past simple and present perfect tenses for past situations and facts - Conditional structures, relative clauses and passive structures -

divide into sections dealing with each event 30 Compiled by Ms BUI THI NGOC OANH - descriptions should be linked with causes and results of what happened & recommendations relating to it - linking words/ phrases Model answer: REPORT ON ENTERTAINMENTS Theatre Trip (19 March) The choice of play was excellent – it was as funny as it had been described in the local paper However, not many people came to the event, and because of the cost of hiring a coach to take us there, we lost money on the event If we are to offer a similar trip in future, we will need to advertise more extensively so that we get enough people to make it viable financially Music evening (20 June) This event was very successful and very well attended We were able to choose excellent bands to perform because there are so many talented bands locally As a result, demand for tickets was high and we sold out of them before the event The atmosphere at the event was excellent and it was enjoyed by everyone there We made a big profit on this event Annual party (1 August) We need to change the way we organized this in future We didn’t sell tickets in advance and underestimated the number of people who would come As a result, there were too many people and the Main Hall was overcrowded On the other hand, the very varied food that was provided proved very popular and we were able to make a small profit on the event CONTENT The report must address all the points listed – who the writer visisted and when, what happened during the visit, how the visit compared with the earlier visit, and general comments on the exchange programme RANGE OF GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY -

The report should begin with an opening paragraph, briefly explaining the background Divided into paragraphs, such as the previous visit, the recent visit and general points about the programme Each paragraph could be presented as a separate section with its own heading Linking words/ phrases TARGET READER: should understand fully what both visits were like and what the writer’s opinion of them is, as well as what the writer thinks of the programme in general and why Model answer: EXCHANGE VISIT TO LONDON In July, I went to London to stay with Helen Oliver and her family for three weeks as part of the exchange programme Helen had previously been to stay with me for three weeks in March Helen and her family made me feel welcome from the very beginning I was told that I should make myself at home and come and go as I pleased They provided wonderful meals and made me feel that I was part of the family In view of all this, it may be unfair to criticize However, the problem for me was that I had no idea what to or where to go most of the time Helen took me into the town once or twice but apart from that she didn’t take me to any laces of interest I had to find things to for myself, with little or no guidance, and as a result I felt that I wasted a lot of my time When Helen stayed with me, my family and I took her somewhere almost every day, and she commented on how much she had appreciated our efforts and how much she had learnt about our city I had been expecting something similar to happen when I stayed with her So, although I enjoyed my trip in many ways, I recommend that it should be made clear to everyone taking part in the programme that they are expected to provide some sort of programme of activities for visitors or at least give them the information they need to make the most of their stay Model answer To: College Principal From: Student Annette Fournier Topic: Career Conference Attended As requested, I am submitting a report about this conference we attended last weekend at Vancouver Hall expressing our points of views about this event The conference was opened on Friday at 9.00 a.m and the opening ceremony was crowded with professors and students from different colleges from all over Canada The following days we attended the exhibitions exposed, even though there were talks on wide range of careers, it was very difficult to find experts available to give advice about specific 32 Compiled by Ms BUI THI NGOC OANH jobs There were over 100 different jobs, however, for us it was impossible to change ideas with a specilized person in languages Despite this fact, the exhibition was great, some of the talks were amazingly good especially the ones about science, we learnt a lot about this field A good idea would be that for the forthcoming exhibitions more humanities experts would attend the conference and also organizers should try to get enough people to answer questions In summary, we could say it was an excellent opportunity for us to share with several kinds of students and an extraordinary way to get knowledge about so many careers that will enhance our future studies Content - Describe the two most amusing scenes - Explain why Organization and cohesion - Clearly organized into paragraphs with appropriate linking devices - Headings may be an advantage Range: - Language of description, opinion and explanation Vocabualry related to description of humour and comment on a story Appropriacy of register and format: may mix registers Target reader: would be informed Hfhf Report for Book Club In the Frame by Dick Francis The story This is an exciting story abo t a man who st dies the m rder of his co sin’s wife He is a very brave man who finds himself in very dangerous situations but in the end he can find the answer He has to travel to the other end of the world and the reader has the chance to go to Australia and New Zealand We also can learn about the strange worlds of horse-racing and art Recommendation I think that In the Frame will be a very good book to our club to discuss It is exciting and o r cl b members wo ld enjoy to read it When I read it, I co ldn’t sto beca se I wanted to know what will happen very much From time to time, I was thinking that the hero will not survive Moreover, it was extremely interesting to read about different places of the world 33 Compiled by Ms BUI THI NGOC OANH In addition, the book is good to learn English because it is a modern book and there is a lot of conversation in it and so we can learn the language of today, not the language of the past I learnt a lof of useful vocabulary and expressions from it In short, I would like to recommend it for our Book Club We could spend a very happy evening to discuss it I think we can, for example, talk about the hero and his character and his relations with other people in the book 34 ... trợ cho viết với chứng, ví dụ cụ thể vả kết luận phù hợp Nội dung chi tiết học phần 3. 1 Danh mục vấn đề học phần Phương há tổng quát viết luận kỹ thuật Viết luận thể loại tranh luận Viết luận... thức viết luận văn q a q trình th thậ thơng tin, đọc luyện viết Chủ đề 4: Viết báo cáo (report) Mức độ Nội dung Kiến thức Phân tích đề yêu cầ đề Bố cục báo cáo 2 Kỹ Viết báo cáo hái độ : Ý thức viết. .. 1 .Viết luận kỹ thuật 2 .Viết luận với hệ thống cú pháp hoàn chỉnh hái độ Nhận thức viết luận văn trình rèn luyện lâu dài nghiêm túc Có ý thức tự học tự rèn luyện, làm tập nhà để nâng cao kỹ viết
