Blog 2.3 - Writing Emails [Izzah] Gr12

Writing polite emails.

This week's AEP started with a game called Wordle, which had a unique twist of presenting two words at the same time. The topic of this lesson was how to write a respectful email to someone or a business. It can be challenging to convey tone or emotion through an email, as paralinguistic techniques such as body language and facial expressions are not visible in text. Therefore, we explored how to write a formal email using more respectful and professional language to avoid coming off as rude. So in this short blog, I will be discussing the techniques I've learned in writing more respectful emails.

---------------------------------

Greetings

"Good morning, this is [name] from the department of [state]."

There are several ways to politely greet someone, when an email is first written with a greeting, the reader is then able to familiarize with what this might be about, if there is no greeting, often the reader becomes uninterested and the email can come off as arrogant and rude.

Concise and Clear Language

"We would like to address the situation that occurred last week."

When starting your email, it is important to briefly explain what the email will be about, this way the reader will be more prepared and can understand the situation and subject of the email more clearly, which would certainly prevent any stress and frustration on the person reading the email.

Thank you.

"Thank you for your time, we hope you enjoy..."

Saying thank you is rare these days, a simple phrase can completely change the tone of the email to be more appreciative of the reader, this allows us to put the reader in a better mood for making negotiations or any other business or personal decisions. 

---------------------------------

These are just some of the many ways that could significantly improve your email. I feel this will greatly help me apply the skills to any emails to university applications or even a simple email to a person of authority.

AEP BLOG 3.1 - Summer Rose S. Valdez

           The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind of maps and musicals, and it's quite fun.          March 5, 2025 - I Went on A Vacation...Somewhere      We began with a unique warmup this time.  By turns, we all had to say a new place on the map.  Each person has to retrace the steps of all the previous and so on.  I did not do well, but I didn't jot down notes of everyone's locations on my notebook anyway.  It was a memory game.  Afterwards, Miss taught us how one can remember things by remembering a place they visit often - by associating the different keywords with different objects or areas.     After that, we moved on to worksheets.  These worksheets involved maps and places and tenses.  For some reason, I forgot the difference between the past tenses.  Thankfully, though, I remembered what passive tense was.  Simple English fundamentals like types of...

Blog 3.1 - moving too fast? - huda g11

  From juggling multiple homework and exams to participating in the musical, parliament, varsity and maintaining a social life, the days seem to blur together in a relentless stream of busyness. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose track of time, which left me constantly feeling like having to keep on picking myself up again to start the next new thing. Despite the chaotic nature of this school year, it's important to take a moment to pause and give ourselves a small break. I think that is where AEP comes in line. With the moderate pace of learning new vocabulary, which I have found to be very useful considering I've passed by many familiar vocabs as I go on with my studies ehehehe, AEP gives me a sense of pause to my hustling life with its conversation-filled lessons incorporated with productive discussions on the words as well as the inclusion of what I would see it as “old-style” learning. The idea of bringing back the usual norm before covid of ‘pen and pape...

i stopped counting the blogs at dis point

       Ah boy here we go again Another week, another blog about random stuff. Holy hell everything moves so fast that I feel like I could take a nap and suddenly miss 21 different events. it's a little odd when you get pulled out of your usual schedule and are forced to do a practice exam but like 'they' say: "practice makes perfect." also been rewatching RVB, kinda sad cuz Rooster Teeth decided in a Hail Mary attempt to earn some of that sweet moolah that they should make a large majority of their shows paywalled on yt and you have to use the inconsistent official Rooster Teeth website that is absolutely plagued with stunky add that no one wants. yeah more ads than YOUTUBE ,  AND THEY'RE ALL UNSKIBBABLE BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY ARE AND YOU GET 4 OF THEM EVERY EPISODE (some at the start and then some midroll ads). I know it is to push people to join their site and subscribe to FIRST but Oh ho hoh man... that is a level above despicable.
