what we will achieve today• by 9.15am I would have– listened to the feedback from our last

summary exercise–brainstormed about what we know

about informal letters

feedback• “got to go”–had to go–needed to go

• do not include speech in your summary–“no quotations”

• summary writing is often written in the past tense–hang: hung

• the difference between the conjunctions “and” and “as”–“and”: used to join two clauses together–“as”• : because

– As it was getting late, I decided to book into a hotel

• : while, during that time that– I saw him as I was coming into the building

• : in the same way– As I was just saying, I think the proposal needs further consideration

5

• common spelling mistakes–beginning –threatened

• stay focused, summarize the entire passage
