Procedure (21-45 minutes)
I wil start to set the context by explaining my own experience in this case and then will ask the Ss to share their experiences if they've got any.
In this stage I will give them a handout on a model email and reply in apologizing and complaining and I will ask their attention on the model text format and structure (In this phase I will briefly explain the structure of such emails (action,background and details for problem). If i've got time I will ask them to work in pair/group to look at the text and discuss about its format.
I will present some useful language and form of -ly adverb in this stage. After giving them the neccessary language, I will give them a handout to practice the language. They can work in pair to do the task.
In this stage, I will ask them to think of one complaint that a customer/themselves might have about your company/another company. Then write one of the following: a complaint from the customer, using three paragraphs and the structure in Exercise 3. Use at least one -ly adverb in each paragraph.
Before starting to do th task of this stage I will give them 1 minute to proofread their own writting. I will ask the students in this stage to exchange their written text and try to find the mistakes (if any) and correct it. I will give them a framework to consider during revising (Subject verb agreement, punctuation, -ly adverbs).
