Слайд 1. E-mail etiquette rules
-Hello guys! Today we are getting together to learn more about some rules. I’m sure, everyone in this group has the experience of writing an e-mail. Could you tell me, what an e-mail is?
-It is a very short and simple message.
-Can you name the types of e-mails?
-It might be like a short informal letter or a business message.
-And now I want you to look at the screen.
Слайд 2. Address
-Who knows, what we should write there? (To)
-To write the e-mail address of the person we are writing to.
-And what about your address? (From)
-The computer includes our e-mail address and the date automatically.
Слайд 3. Subject line
-As for the subject, it is supposed to give it to the message. Do you know why?
-I think without a subject e-mail messages may not be opened.
-And the reason?
-Because of a fear of viruses or they just stay noticeable.
-What is your attitude to this subject line? (Important! Read Immediately!)
-What is important to you may not be important to your reader.
-You should keep the subject short, clear, informative and avoid such headings as “Good news”, “Hello”, “Message from…” Do you know why?
-These headings are common in messages containing viruses.
-Yes, short but specific headings are needed to decide that your email is worthwhile.
Слайд 4. Greeting
-Usually you start your messages with a greeting, don’t you? Why?
-To create a friendly or a business-like tone. To be polite.
-What polite phrases do we use?
-Please, thank you, could you, would you….
-It is common to write the greeting without a comma. But you may use it, if you want.
Слайд 5. Content
-As for the content, how should we write it?
-Answer swiftly. Keep your text readable and writeshort paragraphs. Answer all questions. Use proper spelling, grammar & punctuation. Do not write in CAPITALS.
-Is it important?
-IF YOU WRITE IN CAPITALS IT SEEMS AS IF YOU ARE SHOUTING.
Слайд 6. Abbreviations
-In text-messaging or texting we could use some abbreviations. I’m sure you know what they mean.
afaik-as far as I know info-information
bbl-be back later cc-copies
btw-by the way memo-memorandum
pls-please pp.-pages
yr-your &-and
u-you w/o-without
asap-as soon as possible FYI-for your information
Ic-I see N.B.-nota bene
ttm-talk to me VIP-very important person
RUOK? - Are you OK?
Слайд 7. Attachments
-As for the attachments, you should try to avoid them. Do you know why?
-They could transmit viruses.
- So, try not to use them or your reader will have to download and open them in a separate program. What could we do?
-Copy the most relevant text into the bodyof the email or make sure the file name describes the content. Compare two file names and choose the appropriate one:
message.doc
holidays 2012.doc (the file name describes the content)
Слайд 8. Common endings
-How should we end the message?
-In a polite way.
-What are the common endings?
-Yours sincerely, Best regards, Best wishes, Regards, Kind regards…
-By the way, 'Regards' is a suitable sign-off phrase because it's not too formal or too informal. And if you did not put a comma after the greeting at the beginning of the message, then do not put a comma after the ending either. Then you should include your name at the end of the message. Do you know why?
-Very often the email address of the sender does not indicate exactly who it is from.
-Do you like to receive an email which does not include the name of the sender?
-Oh, no it is annoying.
-As for me, I don’t care.
-I’d like to add that we can use emoticons which show emotions like sad, happy, displeasure.
Слайд 9. P.S.
-What will you do, if you forget to write smth?
-We could use P.S.
e.g. P.S. Don't reply to spam.
-Thanks a lot for your answers. What have we learned today?
-We learned more about e-mail etiquette rules.
-Now let’s do an activity 1. Choose the best options from the drop-down boxes below.
