Another
Q) the guitar is expensive. The flute is expensive
A) both the guitar and the flute are expensive
Can the ans be
Both the guitar and flute are expensive OR
Both guitar and flute are expensive.
Which is correct?
Thanks
Our view:
It's wrong to say \"both guitar and flute are expensive.\"
Articles such as \"a\" and \"the\" are very important in the English language.
\"The\" characterizes and identifies a noun.
Remember: If no article is used, nouns are usually used in the plural form.
For example: Guitars and flutes are expensive.

Situational writing comprises of emails, letters (formal and informal), notices and reports. Limited information is given in graphic form and the students have to use this information in any of the above formats. It seems so easy yet it is not. Students have to make sure that they 1) do not miss out on any of the points given 2) use clear and proper sentences to bring those points out 3) do not make any grammatical mistakes.
If they can do all three, then a perfect score of 15 is very possible. How do they go about it? Practice!
Many schools with their tight curriculum schedules only really launch into Situational Writing intensively on the 2nd half of the P6 year. For strong writers this is enough time for them to perfect their situational writing skills. For those less than perfect writers, regular practice is a good way to improve.
Situational writing compromises normally of
1) Emails (formal/informal - usually informal)
2) Letters (formal/informal) - Formal : e.g. A letter of Commendation/Complaint
3) A Report
4) A Notice
The formats of each type of writing can be found on my blog http://www.thinking-factory.com/
Please take note, do not be alarmed if your child's school does not follow the same format. Every school may have slightly different formats. What is important is the Language and Content.
Content: Students must not miss out on any of the points asked. A proper introduction is necessary. Language : Students must use the correct tenses - Past/Present/Future and tone appropriate to either formal or informal writing. -
