The document provides guidance for writing a report about the three best places for young visitors to have fun in a hometown. It suggests making a list of facility types like restaurants, theaters, and community centers. For each item, explain why it would be recommended and any important advice. The report could be organized with subheadings and conclude with a general suggestion. Drafting and proofreading is important to ensure the report is clear, logical, answers the question, and uses accurate language.
2. • Question
A group of young people from another country
will be coming to stay in your home town for 3
months. You have been asked to write a report
for the organising committee about the THREE
best places for young people to have fun in your
area.
• Write your report for the committee (around
140-190 words).
3. • Ideas for writing
Ask yourself the following questions to help you get started:
• Make a list of the facilities you are going to write about. What about places to eat
and drink? Places to go and see a film or a concert? Places just to relax and hang
out with friends? Your list might include some or all of the following:
restaurants and cafes, theatres or cinemas, community centres or special societies.
• For each item on your list decide why you would recommend it to the visitors? Is
there any important advice you need to give also?
'Matthew's' is a lively restaurant which plays music all evening and the majority of
customers are in the 18-25 age range. However, it has a no-smoking policy, which
our visitors should be aware of.
• You may wish to organise your report by the use of subheadings.
e.g. places to eat and drink
• To conclude your report you may wish to give a general suggestion:
e.g. To enable our visitors to get the maximum enjoyment from their stay, I propose
that we give them a free travel pass....
4. Drafting and proofreading your work
• You should look at your first draft of the task and
decide:
• Have you answered the question? Will the organising
committee have some good ideas from your report?
• Is the report organised in a clear and logical way?
• Is the language accurate with a good range of
structures?
• Is the style OK?
• If the answer is 'no' to any of these questions then you
will need to do some more drafting!
