Common Mistakes in Part 6 (Email to Danni)

Here is the email you did in class or at home for homework. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

Your English friend Danni doesn't know anything about the party tomorrow. Write an email to Danni.
Say:

• where the party will be
         There will be a party at the swimming pool tomorrow evening. (11) 
          Mary is having a party at her house tomorrow. (9)
• what Danni should bring 
         You should bring your swimming suit, a towel, and your flip-flops. (12)   
         You should bring some chips and some drinks. (8)        
• who is going to be there
          All of our classmates are going to be there. (9)
         All of her relatives and close friends are going to be there. (12)

Write 25-35 words. (11+12+9 = 32)  /  (9+8+12= 29) + closing sentence

NOTA BENE:

1. Leggere le istruzioni con attenzione, capire le 3 quisiti e a chi rispondere.
   Don't change the name and make sure you spell it correctly.
   The name was Danni, not Danny.
2. Usare la forma corretta. Iniziare con  Hi / Hello + Name seguito da ,
   Andare a capo e iniziare la prima parola con lettera MAIUSCOLA. Rispondere ai 3 quesiti.
   Chiudere, firmare, scrivere il numero delle parole.  Chiudere con una frase corretta, non usare Bye bye.
   
   Hi Danni,
   There will be a party at the disco tomorrow night.  You should bring some money and your video camera. Everyone in our class is going to be there.
   I hope to see you then.

3. What Danni should bring is not a question. You are suggesting what Danni should bring:         You should bring your pajamas/swimming suit/some desserts and chips.
   
   
4. PROBLEM part: WHO is going to be there?  
   All of our classmates are going to be there./Bob, Jane and Heather are going to be there.
   
   
5. You cannot write: Are you ready for the party?   Danni doesn't know anything about it!
   
   
6. Do not use TO with must / can / should
           You should to bring your favorite records.
   
   
7. I want TO / They are going TO / I would like TO.  I would like to is more polite than I want to.         I would like to invite you to my party.     
   
   
8. Do NOT begin sentences with AND, BUT or SO.
   
   
9. PUNCTUATION is important! You must end your sentences with full stops / periods (.) or question marks (?) ,  not commas ( , ) or an ellipsis ( ... ).
   
   
10. Days of the week must be capitalized: Saturday, not saturday.
    
    
11. There is -- used in the singular: There is a ball on the floor.
    There are -- used in the plural: There are some balls on the floor.
    
    
12. You cannot use party'll. You must write "the party will"
