Writing skills are often the most difficult skills for students of English
as a foreign language to acquire. This may be because of the great emphasis
on listening, speaking, and reading in the classroom. This sample of guided
writing practice in the early stages of English instruction will help to
reinforce and integrate the development of all the language skills and
prepare learners for the production of written English at more advanced
levels.
Letters that are well-organized in form and content generally follow
a pattern that is similar to basic composition writing. Letter writing can
be an effective means of introducing and reinforcing the principles of good
composition in English; the writer in both cases must first organize his or
her thoughts logically to convey the intended message.
This manual covers a typical structure of a well-composed letter and
provides thoughtful models for social and business letters as well as
simple samples of postcard writing which is an effective tool to prepare
learners for production of more serious written pieces through their
creative belles-lettres talent.
