How can I use Real Writing 4?
The units in the second section of the book are generally more difficult than the units in the first section. However, you do not need to do the units in a particular order. It is better to choose the units that are most relevant, useful or interesting for you and to do them in the order you prefer.
There are many different ways you can use this book. We suggest you work in this way:
○ Identify which areas you want to focus on by using the Contents list and find a unit that interests you or go to Appendix 2: Text types and look for a unit that you might find useful.
○ Use the Get ready to write section at the start of each unit to help you understand the context.
○ Complete the other sections of the unit. At the end of each section check your answers in the Answer key or with your teacher.
○ Try to do listening exercises without looking at the Audioscript. You can read the Audioscript after you finish the exercises.
○ If your answers are not correct, study the section again to see where you made mistakes.
○ When you have completed the Write exercise, use the Check questions to correct your writing. You can also use
Appendix 6: Editing your writing to check what you have written.
○ If you want to do more work on this topic, do the Extra practice activity.
○ At the end of the unit, think about what you learnt and complete the Can-do checklist.
