Get ready to readReal Reading TNotesFocus on … missing words
Get students to work through the exercises. Make it clear that
this omission is perfectly acceptable in this correspondence,
but that letter-like emails should be grammatically correct. Elicit
examples of other texts where words may be missing (notes,
advertisements).
