In class we discussed the features of writing you need to consider to make your writing focused (narrowing it down to make it manageable) and meeting your audience knowledge of the discussed subject.
In order to feel the features of writing, taking into consideration its purpose and audience you are invited to write two letters on the same topic but for different audience. You should consider how the content and language of your writing will change depending on who the intended audience of your writing is.
You can choose the topic for your letters from the following list:
1. Going to a summer camp: teenagers/young adults (1) and their parents (2).
2. Dangers of smoking: teenagers (1) and middle-aged people (in the developed countries these are people in their 50s and 60s; in Russia in their 40s and 50s).
3. Explain how to use some piece of equipment (cell phone, computer, your choice) to a teenager (1) and a person in his/her 50s who is afraid of using technology.
4. Explain why you like a certain piece of music/a book/ smth of your choice to a peer who does not like this kind of music/books/your choice (1) and your parent who disapproves of your tastes.
Post your letters in the blog and comment on how persuasive smb else's letters are: ask yourself will I be persuaded/the others for whom this information is indended?
