Writing a memo

Hello, Team!

In yesterday's lesson, you discussed the banknote handling machines and listened to a cassette about Triumph motorcycles. I think you are now better at listening, don't you?

The homework is to write a memo about English language training. You imagine that you make suggestions to the HR department. In your book of handouts, on the last page, you see 6 possibilities. Choose two and write them in your memo. You must write why you chose them.

FAQ's about memos (Frequently Asked Questions)
Who communicates with memos?
Memos are for communication inside a company.
What is the form of a memo?
To/From/Subject/Date
What do we write in a memo?
It must be short and only have the most relevant information.
How do we list the points of the memo?
In logical order.
What is the tone of a memo?
Very free: it can be formal, informal, or neutral.
How do you close a memo?
Write your initials, not your signature.

The other homework is your little card. In the lesson, you wrote one word on the face of the card. Now at home, please write an example sentence using the word, on the back of the card. Kindly bring your card with you to the next lesson, because you will need it for a new exercise!


Have a very nice weekend, everybody!

And finally, an article about ear massage - think about it!

Don't forget your cat's ears, either
