Labels Against Women
This powerful commercial asks some hard-hitting questions about
attitudes towards women in modern society. For example, why is it that women who take charge tend to be called bossy, whereas men who do the same are just doing their jobs as bosses? Or why mothers who are passionate about their careers are selfish, while working dads are dedicated?

writing letters FORMAL / INFORMAL
Formal Letters
Formal
letters are the most common writing task. Avoid using contractions e.g.
“I´m” instead write the full words “I am”. Also avoid colloquial
language.
Firstly, you begin your letter with addressing the receiver.
If the receiver is unknown:
- Dear Sir/Madam
If the receiver is known:
- Dear Miss Adams
Secondly, first sentence in the letter is about WHY you are writing, examples:
- I was extremely distressed to hear about your plans to ... (Object to someone´s plans)
- I am writing to complain about / I am writing to tell you how disappointed... (Letter of Complaint)
- I am writing to you on behalf of ... (Letter of Recommendation)
- I am writing about the article published in / I have just read your article on... (Letter to de editor)
Thirdly, during the main part of the letter you will try to connect your arguments together. Using paragraphs when appropriate, and logically connecting all of the elements in your letter using connecting words and/or sequencing:
At first / To start with/In the beginning, in addition / furthermore / moreover, firstly / secondly / lastly etc.
Then, ending phrase prior to signature (just a few suggestions):
- I look forward hearing from you / I trust you will give my proposal your full consideration
Finally, signature is in general one of the two:
- Yours sincerely, (If you know the name of the person you sent the letter to)
- Yours faithfully, (If you started the letter with Dear Sir/Madam)

Informal Letters
Informal
letters are less common. When writing informal letters be aware that
there are differences whether we are talking about a letter to your
closest friend, or whether the letter is to your friend´s mom. Common
is, however, that you will try to use language very similar to spoken
language.
Firstly, you have a friendly form of addressing the letter:
- Dear Mark, / Hi Katie,
Secondly, first sentence refers to last correspondence or is a general statement and not a summary of what you are going to write about. Some eamples:
- Thanks for your letter, it was great to hear from you...
- Just thought I´d drop you a line...
Thirdly, in a “real” informal letter you might waste time talking about the weather. In the CAE exam you have, however, limited space and time so just try to get to the point, connecting your arguments with informal language. Examples could be:
- You asked me about...
- As for ...
- What´s more ...
- Mind you, ...
- Having said that ...
Then, ending phrase prior to signature (just a few suggestions):
- Get back to me quickly / Let me know what you think / Can´t wait to see you again
Finally, a friendly informal signature:
- Best wishes,
- Take care,
- All the best

The rookie stages involve learners processing a certain amount of
written information and then answering some content based questions –
it’s a little slow to start! But highly motivating and enjoyable.
