Dear Mr Dixon,

We are writing to invite you to our gymnasium’s official anniversary celebration that is going to take place at 100, Golubeva Street, Minsk on 31 January. The official ceremony will start at 11 a.m. in the assembly hall of Minsk Gymnasium No.112 and will be followed by the informal party in the gym at 2 p.m. Our staff and students will be delighted to celebrate this school event with you.

As far as you know, Gymnasium No. 112 is a successful school where rich traditions are well kept. We value each student and encourage everyone to develop their talents and contribute both to the life of the school and the wider community. By understanding their unique needs and wishes, providing necessary opportunities and modern facilities, our students are able to achieve their best. But now it’s time for our students to show respect for school by demonstrating their talents and skills. It’s time for our teachers and staff to share experience and enrich each other’s knowledge. And it is time for our honourable friends to get together to celebrate the 50^th anniversary and mark this occasion at a high level.

The event programme will include the opening-closing ceremonies, “Keeping School Traditions” discussion with headteachers from Belarus and other countries, the photo exhibition, and the poster competition devoted to the gymnasium’s history, some flash mobs and the students’ talent show. It will be a pleasure to have you with us and get to know your school traditions.

We look forward to hearing from you soon. Please feel free to contact us for any questions.

Yours sincerely,
Maria Ivanova

Dear Kate,

Hope you are doing well. I’m writing this letter to invite you to our gymnasium’s anniversary celebration on 31 January. This is going to be a fun-packed event with a range of cool activities such as the students’ photo exhibition and the poster competition, the flash mob, and the talent show. The venue is our gymnasium assembly hall and gym.

Please do come with your family as this is a wonderful opportunity for us all to enrich knowledge about each other’s culture. You can stay at my place. My parents will be glad to meet you and spend some time together. Sure we’ll chill out in Minsk!

Lookin’ forward to seeing you and your family.

P.S.: Perhaps I’ll participate in the Talent Show. I haven’t decided yet. Need your advice.

Regards,
Alex

b. In pairs check if the letters have all the necessary parts from ex. 2a. What is missing? What would you change?

3. a. Прочитайте два электронных письма ниже и скажите, какое из них является официальным приглашением, а какое — неофициальным? Почему?

b. В парах проверьте, содержат ли письма все необходимые части из упр. 2а. Чего не хватает? Что бы вы изменили?

Ответ:

a. The first email (to Mr Dixon) is a formal invitation. The second email (to Kate) is an informal invitation. The first email uses formal language (e.g., "We are writing to invite you", "We look forward to hearing from you", "Yours sincerely"), a formal salutation ("Dear Mr Dixon"), and a full signature with a job title. The second email uses informal language, contractions, and slang (e.g., "Hope you are doing well", "I'm writing", "fun-packed", "cool activities", "Lookin' forward", "chill out"), a first-name salutation ("Dear Kate"), and a simple first-name closing ("Regards, Alex").

b. The informal letter to Kate is missing the time the event starts. I would change the letter to include the specific start time of the celebration.

Перевод:

a. Первое письмо (мистеру Диксону) — это официальное приглашение. Второе письмо (Кейт) — это неофициальное приглашение. В первом письме используется официальный язык (например, «We are writing to invite you», «We look forward to hearing from you», «Yours sincerely»), официальное обращение («Dear Mr Dixon») и полная подпись с указанием должности. Во втором письме используется неофициальный язык, сокращения и сленг (например, «Hope you are doing well», «I'm writing», «fun-packed», «cool activities», «Lookin' forward», «chill out»), обращение по имени («Dear Kate») и простое прощание с указанием только имени («Regards, Alex»).

b. В неофициальном письме для Кейт отсутствует время начала мероприятия. Я бы изменил(а) письмо, добавив точное время начала празднования.
