Please continue to follow the plan you did on Tuesday. I am looking forward to reading all your letters.

Remember the following points:

• The point of view is clearly stated in the first sentence.
• The strongest argument is introduced first.
• Use questions to provoke a reaction.
• Use statistics to reinforce the argument.
• Use furthermore and in addition to link your ideas.
• Use indeed and besides this to emphasise a point.
• Use in conclusion to sum up the argument.

If you have completed your letter, and checked it through carefully, you might want to make yourself a bookmark.
