You

be
given
an extract
from
a

ltead this
example
of
a
ilart
I
task,
You have
just
returned
from
a
trip to
Florida.
You
flew
there and
back
with
Ocean
Air.
You decide
to write
to
the
airline to complain about your
flight
and
ask
for
some money
back.
Question
1
in
Paper 2 is
compulsory
-
all
exam
candidates
have
to
answer
it.'Tiansactional'
means
that the letter
has a
particular purpose,
and
will
require
further
action
by its
reader,
usually
in
the
form of
a
written
response.
The
letter must
be
based
on
the
information
given
in
the question. Examples
of
transactional letters include:
writing
to
a
school
to
request details
about
a
language
course;
complaining
to
a
company about
a
holiday; replying
to
a
friend
about
arrangements
for
a
party. The letter could
be
formal
or
informal.
Read
the
advertisement
and
the
notes
you
made and
then, using the information,
write
a
letter to the
airline.
You
may add
other relevant points
of
your
own.

Another type of transactional letter task
is

infbrrnation,
usually
from
a
newspaper
article. Look at this
task.
Dear

I

I
made

12th

She was

I

She
told

she

I
had

when
I
had booked my

I
think this is

All
I
had
to

in

was
some

I
demand

for

I

for

In
the
summer
you
had
a
job
at
a
workcamp in
Kirby in
England.
A
friend in
Kirby
has
just
sent
you
this
article
from
the
local
newspaper. You decide
to
write
a
letter
to
the
newspaper
to
correct
some of
the
information
in
the article.
Read
carefully
the
article
and
the
notes
you
have made.
Then,
using
this information,
write
a
letter to the Editor
of the
newspaper. You may add
other relevant points
of
your own.
Student
Slaves
at Workcamp
All
summer
some 30
foreign
students,
mainly from
France
and Sweden,
were working long hours for little
more than pocket money on
a
local farm. Sleeping
in
old
tents and
with only one
shower
between
30
people,
the
students spent
their
days
picking
fruit
and vegetables.
It's
a
disgrace that visitors to this country, who come to
these
so-called
'intemational
workcamps', should
have
to
put
up with
such
dreadful conditions.
