PET 2 (PET handbook 2007) test 2

Dear James,

I found a new flat yesterday. I am going to move to Oxford because I am going to work in a shop. So, I need a flat near this shop. If you want you can visit me.

Best wishes, Annick

Mark: 5 All three content elements are covered appropriately and the message reads clearly.

Mark: 3 Although all three content elements are attempted, basic language errors in tenses and spelling require some effort by the reader, wit the overall clarity of the message impaired.

Hi, How are you? I hope you are OK. In this period I have many problems and I'm going to move to a new flat. I think you have many ideas about flats in London - can you help me? I would find a very large and economy flat. Please write soon.
Bye, Janet

Mark: 2 In this script one of the elements has been omitted; the writer didn't invite the friend to visit. The other two elements are unsuccessfully attempted and the writer has misunderstood the details of the task as she asks for advice about finding a flat, rather than informing her friend of a flat she is going to move to.
