Final T's Correction of Informal Letter 1 by P.Milicevic

Peđa, the rubric states that you have received a letter from your pen friend, not ’heard’ about his situation from somebody.
- Styding at colle eis started after secondary school.
- You should avoid lifting of phrases from the rubric, e.g. ’plan your time better’.
There are quite a few rubric items thay you missed to cover: asking for more information (whether ’so much to do’ refers to his work or social life , if he has problems with eating or sleeping). You also missed to suggest that he he should try to move somewhere else and try to find a holiday job. Encouraging your friend not to give up, possibly by stating benefits of getting a diploma, is a very important item, too.

Dear George,

I have read that you had some problems with this school year in college.Well, it is not so easy as the previous schools. Now you have to study more than in secondary school.The teachers are very strict, so you have to be very careful in classes.
The first thing you have to respect is the teachers. They like students who pay attention in classes, and it’s also better for you because you will understand everything in class and you won’t have to learn a lot at home. I also suggest you should talk with teachers, because they like to be consulted. If your house is full and you don’t have a place to study you can use the school library. It’s always silent and the best place to study.You also have to organise your activities more efficiently.When you come from school, you should start with learning at the moment you enter your room.You would finish earlier and you would have most of the day to rest.
So, that would be all for now and I wish you all the best for the next school year.

Yours,
Pedja
