Making videos for KZbin and producing materials for teachers and students alike is a time-consuming and often expensive business. But any little help I can get would make a big difference, so please, think about tipping me a dollar or two so that I can continue making videos for you all. Thank you so much!

The days of letter-writing striking fear into the hearts of Cambridge candidates have gone. For one thing, you don't need to worry so much about matching the opening and closing formulae - you won't fail just for putting 'Dear Sir/Madam' at the beginning, and then closing your letter with 'Yours sincerely.'
And secondly, I'm here with another in my series of videos about how to handle the demands of the various Cambridge writing tasks.
This video is devoted to Formal Letter writing.
Be careful when you write a letter of complaint - don't sound too angry, and don't make any demands that could result in legal action! Don't threaten to sue the person you're writing to. If you're writing a letter of application, such as for a job, try not to come across as arrogant - it won't help your chances of landing the job, and it won't help you in the exam either.
In this video we go through every part of the task, step-by-step, with some useful advice and language that you can really use in the exam itself.
