~~@#$%&*!~~ EXAM ADVICE BY CAPED_CRUSADER ~~@#$%&*!~~
-Letter Advice-
1. I personally prefer formal letters. First reason, the pattern carries about a mark extra. Secondly, no need of sentences like "Hope you are fine...Give my greetings to your parents..." etc. In formal letters, its like talk to the point.
2. Body of the letter is short, although its to be written in formal language.
3. Again use $100 words, like instead of using "as soon as possible, use " as expeditiously as possible", etc.
4. Have a great conclusion, Eg: If you are writing to the principal requesting about sending students on an educational tour, end with "With a gesture of confirmation, I on behalf of all the students of standard tenth remain thankful to you." etc.
5. Keep the paragraphs organised, Eg: First paragraph, tell the principal that we students want to go on a tour to lets take for example "Antarctica". ;) In the next paragraph, tell him/her about how its going to help us, eg. we can see the penguins, feel the temperature and see the effects of global warming in the region, etc. In the last one, request him whole heartedly. End with a great conclusion as point no. 4.
6. Plan out addresses well out in advance, both writer's and receiver's. Saves time used up in thinking during exam.
* The Antarctica example was just for humour, don't really write this in you exam! Or you will end up really being sent to the freezing place. :D *
