GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
Marina has just started a new course at college and her tutor has asked her to write him a letter telling him something about her. She has made ten mistakes in verb tenses in her letter. Find and correct them.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Tutor,
I am coming to Brighton College from Singapore, where I was a student for ten years. I did already take examinations in Singapore in English, Biology, Computer and Maths. My highest score is for Computer: I got grade A.
When I was a student in Singapore I also have a part-time job in a shop. My uncle owns a supermarket and so I helped him in the evenings. I used to worked there four nights a week and I think this was very good experience for me.
At the weekends, I usually played volleyball with friends or, if the weather’s bad, we have been to the theatre, which is very popular in Singapore. Because of my part-time job, I also did spend a lot of time studying at the weekend.
I didn’t go to many other places. My father took me to Thailand once. Three weeks after we had returned he also went to Malaysia and took the whole family.
This is a brief description of my background.
Best wishes,
Marina
