Ask the class this question.
Did you know … ?
Refer back to the letter on page 60 and also give example 
situations of when you might not know the name of the person 
you are writing a letter to (e.g. writing a letter of complaint to the 
manager of a restaurant you received bad service in). 
Focus on … the layout of letters
Before doing the exercise, elicit/explain the meaning of 
salutation
.
When checking the answers, ask students to correct any 
sentences that are not true. 
After doing the exercise, ask students to discuss with a partner 
how the layout of informal letters differs from that of formal letters, 
using the sentences in the exercise as a guide. Get feedback by 
conducting a whole-class discussion.

If you are teaching a multilingual class, after doing the exercise, 
get students to work with someone of a different nationality to 
compare lists. Alternatively, if you are teaching a monolingual 
class in their country, ask pairs of students to rank industries 
according to their value, and come to class prepared with the 
statistics for the country you are teaching in, from, for example, 
www.economist.com/countries/.
