Help! Mothertongue help required to check a formal letter.
|
Dear All,
I �m writing to ask for help. I was given the task by my headteacher to write a formal letter to another headteacher about a project carried out between the two schools.Will anyone be so kind to check if this letter is correct?
Thak you very much for your help.
this is the text
Formal
letter from a headteacher to another one about an international partnership.
Dear Mr/Mrs
We
are very glad that our school has been given the chance to carry out a
penfriend project with yours. We think that it has been a very good opportunity
for our students to learn something new of another country, culture and
education system and an enriching experience to improve their foreign language
competencies.
We
hope that our students will keep in touch with their new penfriends after the
end of this school year in order to keep on exchanging ideas and personal
experiences.
We also wish that this
could be the beginning of an effective partnership between our two schools.
Yours faithfully
��..

It �s very nicely written, modelena. The one change I would recommend is to replace "keep on exchanging" with "continue exchanging". "Keep on" is a little informal, although not really inappropriate here. I just think "continue" sounds a little better.
@elowe,
I think we wrote at the same time. My understanding is that the exchange has already taken place. I do agree about "about", though.

This is a well written letter. I would just quibble that �in order to keep on exchanging � sounds a little stiff and I would put �so they can keep on exchanging... �
�about � is right.
�It has been a very good opportunity � is right. |
