4) All The Best,
5) Best Wishes,
6) With Best Wishes,

According to the rules of the exam in English, the student at the final exam is given a task of writing a letter. For example:
Task 12:
| The task of the USE is given in English: | Translation of the task of ege: | |
You have received a letter from your English-speaking Pen-Friend Ann Who Writes:
IN YOUR LETTER: - CONGRATULATE ANN. - ASK 3 Questions About Her New House Write 100-140 Words. Remember The Rules of Letter Writing. |
You received a letter from your English-speaking friend on Ann's correspondence, which wrote: Write an Ann letter. In his letter: - Congratulate Anne - Set 3 questions about her new home Write 100-140 words. Remember the writing rules. |
It is necessary to write a letter according to this task.
Rules of writing the letter of the exam in English
At the end of each task, the English language is worth the phrase - Remember The Rules of Letter Writing - Remember the rules for writing the letter.
Below are these rules:
Style and language of personal writing EEG in English
The style of writing is unofficial, simple, emotional.
- For a personal letter, the abbreviations adopted in oral speech are characterized by: I "M, I Haven" T, What "s ...
- Characterized by the use of phrase verbs: Back Off, Come on, Go Away and others.
- The use of idiomatic expressions is allowed - the combination of words that are not literal, and the semantic translation: What about ...? (How about ...?), ON Account of (due to, due to), etc.
- It is permissible to use Slang - bright and accurate "non-strained" words and phrases adopted in a specific environment (for example, youth). So, the word DOG in a youth English-speaking environment is, in a specific context, a heavy exam or a failed date with a girl.
Structure of personal writing exam in English
We will analyze the structure of the emge letter in more detail. The structure of the EE EGE in English consists of:
- Sender addresses.
- Writing dates.
- Appeals or greetings.
- The basic text of the letter - the body of the letter:
- Thanks for the resulting letter.
- Link to previous contacts.
- Reactions to news written by another correspondence.
- Answers to friend questions.
- Formulation of your questions to a friend.
- I apologize for the end of the letter.
- Phrases about future contacts.
- Final formula of courtesy.
- Signatures - your name.
Sender's address in the letter of EGE in English
The letter begins with writing its address (sender address) in the upper right corner of the sheet. The sequence is as follows:
- 1st line - Apartment number,
- 2nd row - house number, then the name of the street,
- 3rd line - first the city, then the zip code,
- The 4th line is a country.
Date in the letter of the EGE in English
Subject to the sender in the emge letter, the date of writing is set, for example:17 March, 2013.
In details . However, the exam in English is better to use the format proposed above.
Appeal or greeting in the writing of the English language
Sometimes a personal letter begins with the appeal, for example:DEAR PAUL,
DEAR ALEX,
As a rule, a personal letter begins with an informal greeting -
Hi, Jane,
Hello, Kate,
After the appeal or greeting is a comma.
The appeal is written on the left side of the sheet without an arrogant to the red string.
The main text of the letter of the EGE in English
At the beginning of the main text, as a rule, grateful for the resulting letter, this is required by the norms adopted in English-language countries:
A letter to previous contacts also need to include a link to previous contacts:
| I Was Glad to Get Your Letter! | I was glad to get your letter! |
| IT "S Always Nice To Get Your Letters! | Always please get your letters! |
| So wonderful to get the news from you! | |
| IT Was Great to Hear from You! | It's great - get a news from you! |
| IT Was Great to Hear Front You So Soon. | It was nice to get the answer from you so soon. |
Then, one or two phrases need to respond to the content of the resulting letter:
The next, important point of the letter in the format of the EGE in English is the answer to the question (or questions) of your friend on the correspondence. This, as a rule, is devoted to a whole paragraph from several proposals. First, the introductory phrase is written, which allows you to smoothly go to your answer to a friend's question:
| You Asked Me to Tell You About Moscow. | You asked me to tell about Moscow. |
| In Your Letter You Write About Yours Problem. | In your letter you write about your problem. |
| IT "S Great That You Like Rap Because I am Fond of IT. | It's great that you like rap, because I love it. |
| As for My New School IT "S Very Big! | As for my new school, it is very big! |
| You Ask Me Hower Summer. | You ask me how I spent the summer. |
Next, in line with the task of the EGE, you need to write the basic text of the letter based on the task received, applying introductory words, as well as words linking individual parts of the sentence:
| Supplements | fIRST, ALSO, FINALLY | first, also finally |
| Opposition | but, However | but, however |
| Examples | sUCH AS, FOR EXAMPLE | such as, for example |
| Reasoning | aS, Because. | how because |
| About the time | when, While. | when, while |
| At the beginning of the phrase | Anyway, Well, Right | Anyway, well, right |
At the end of the main part of the letter, you need to ask three questions on the subject defined by the task of the USE. For example, in Question No. 12, which is presented at the beginning of this article, is written - ASK 3 Questions About Her New House - Set 3 questions about her new home.
The next step of writing the letter of the EGE in English is an apology for the end of the letter:
| I Must Go Now, My Mother Is Waiting For Me. | I have to go, Mom is waiting for me. |
| Well, i'd Better Go now. I'Ve Got to Get Ready for My Piano Class. | Well, I have time to go. I have to prepare for my piano classes. |
| WELL, I MUST FINISH NOW. IT's Already 11 O'Clock. | Well, it's time for me to finish. Now for 11 hours. |
| Sorry, I Have to Go Now. Write Back Soon! | Sorry, I have to go. I will write to you soon! |
| Sorry, I Have to Finish My Report. Keep In Touch! | Unfortunately, I must finish my report. Stay Connected! |
Final form of courtesy in the letter of the English language
The final form of courtesy is the final phrase - must be written in accordance with the unofficial style, for example:
After this phrase necessarily put the comma.
After the final form of courtesy, you need to subscribe, i.e. Write your name. Only the name, without last name. Signature put on a separate line. After signature, the point is not written!
In the task of 39 EGE in English, an excerpt is given from the letter of your friend in which he talks about some events from his life. You need to write a response letter.
The letter must be clearly structured and include the following components:
№ | Component |
Address |
|
date |
|
Appeal |
|
4,5,6 | Thanks. Apologies + reason. Connecting phrase |
Answers on questions |
|
3 questions on the topic |
|
9,10 | |
Final phrase |
|
Signature (name) |
Example address in the exam in English
In the upper right corner, specify the address (brief)
Moscow.
Russia.
If you write a full address, do not forget about the principle of "from smaller to more", namely:
- House number, street name
- city
- country
Example date in ege 2018
Under the address by skipping the string, specify the date of the letter in one of the formats:
- June 5th 2017.
- 4 June 2017.
- 04/05/16
Remember that the dates of June 5th 2017 and 4 June 2017 contain 3 words, while 05/06/16 is considered one word.
EGE template
It consists only of two words: Far. + friend name ( Far. T.oM.,) . After the appeal, you must definitely put the comma! Do not put - lose the score.
Gratitude template in the English language
- Thanks (A lot) for Your (Last) Letter.
- I Was Glad to Get Your Letter.
- IT Was Great to Hear from You!
Apologies + reason in the exam
Then you need to apologize for not answering before, and explain the reason:
- Sorry I Have't Answered Earlier But I Was Really Busy With My School.
- Sorry I Have't Written Earlier But ...
- Sorry I Haven't Been In Touch for So Long for So Long But ...
Connecting phrase
Here you can mention any fact from the received letter ( I.'M. glad. you. passed. your. Physics. test!) or write a universal phrase: either I. 'M. glad. you. 'Re. OK. ! (if a friend is doing well) or I. miss. you. greatly. ! (If we learn from the letter of a friend that he, for example, broke his leg and lies in the hospital).
Answers to questions in Ege 2018
Here you need to remember three points:
a) how many questions, so many answers. For example, a friend asked: What Extreme Sports Would You Like To Try, If Any and Why? So you need not just write I'd Like To Try Raftingbut also argue: bECAUSE IT IMPLies a Well Coordinated Team Work, Good Reaction and Nerves of Steel;
b) We comply with the grammatical structure of questions and answers. If a friend asks What would you. do. if. you. wERE me.?, it is necessary to answer the design If I. wERE you., I. would… (DO. Their sAME.);
c) it is not necessary to respond to questions in the order in which they are specified. The main thing is that they are logically connected.
We ask 3 questions
No more, no less. They must correspond to the topic specified in the task. If said about hIS. project. paper.So, you need to ask exactly about the project, and not about the performance or lessons. Different types of questions (for example, general, special and alternative) are encouraged, but are not mandatory (you can ask three special questions).
Furnishing completion of the letter in the exam
Explain why we finish the letter:
- Well, i'd Better Go NOW AS I Have To Do My Homework
- Anyway, I Have to Go Now: My Mum Asked Me to Help Her With Our Dinner
- Actually, I'Ve Got to Go Now! IT's Time for My Favourite TV Show
We write that we will be happy to get a letter from this friend:
- Write (Back) Soon!
- Take Care and Keep in Touch!
- FROMan't Wait to Hear from You!
Finishing phrase
At the end of the letter, the final phrase is specified on a separate line:
- Love
- Lots of love
- Best wishes
After it always puts a comma! Do not put - lose the score.
Signature (name)
On the last line under the final phrase, we specify your name without the last name and points! ( Vlad.Ann.)

DEAR TOM,
Thanks for your letter. Sorry I Have't Answered Earlier But I Was Busy With My School Project. Hope You Didn't Have Accidents While Hiking!
As for Me, I Don't Have Much Time On Active Holidays Because I Have a Lot of Homework. My Family Is more The Stay-At-Home Sort, So I Can't Spend The Time with Them Somehow Actively. My Company Is My Friend and, You Know, Our Trips Are Usually Very Jolly. I'd Like To Try Rafting This Spring, Because It Implies a Well Coordinated Team Work, Good Reaction and Nerves of Steel.
Anyway, You've Mentioned A Project. Do You Like Writing ABOUT EVENTS OF THE PAST? What events Did You Choose for Your Project? Are the Same Historical Period?
I'd Better Go NOW AS My Dad Wants Me to Help Him With Is Car. Write Soon!
Love
Ann.
Useful Tips for writing EGE
- Consider words
Be sure to meet in the specified volume: 100-140 words are golden middle, but a deviation is allowed to 10% in both directions, i.e. 90-154 words. If in the letter ≤89 words, then 0 points are set for the task. If ≥155 words, only the first 140 words are checked. This means that due to one extra word, you can lose a few points!
Remember that 1 word is everything that is between two spaces. Defisites (-), apostrophes (') and slashes (/) are not spaces, so words from the category that's, Twenty-Two, Open-Minded, UK, TV and date in format 05/06/16 are considered for one word. Sporting writing letters on exam form - so you learn how to identify the number of words on the eyes and will spend less time on their counting.

- Calculate Time
To fulfill this task, highlight yourself 20 minutes: 8 min. on Chernovik, 8 min. for a cleanstik and 4 minutes. on counting words and check. Be sure to check the letter before passing!
