쉐도잉 연습: Cambridge B1 Preliminary (PET): How to Write an Email - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

if you are interested in how to write a really really good email in b1 preliminary you need to keep watching

hi and welcome to teacher phil where i help people like you pass their cambridge exams

make sure you subscribe to the channel and like the video

and also check out the full article the link is in the description box below

and with all

that being said let's get started emails are the only mandatory task in B1 preliminary writing

that means you don't have a choice you have to write

an email as you will see however writing a good email is really a lot easier than you might think also Also,

you have to write around a hundred words.

But I always tell my students to write a little bit more than a hundred words.

So between a hundred and a hundred and twenty is usually a good idea to be on the safe side.

You usually write an email in B1 preliminary to a friend

or a teacher or another person

that you know in every task you get the context of the email

that you have to write as well as the person you are writing to

and four content points

that you need to address in your text you need to

be familiar with the right language to address these different content

points for example you You have to know how to start and end an email.

But you also have to be able to show how to agree or disagree with something, how to give your opinion,

how to suggest things, how to apologize or how to explain something.

These are just some examples and there might be other functions that you have to fulfill

in your email but let's have a look at an example in a little bit more detail

so when you write an email for B1 preliminary there are three main areas

that you always need to keep in mind first of all

you have to choose the correct layout for an email

that means there needs to be a clear beginning and ending

and you need to address all the different topic points in the task second of all as i've just mentioned before

you also need to use the right language in order to address the different content points

and last but not least you also need to use the right style of language in an email

that is normally neutral English to informal English but we will talk about that a little bit more in a second

instead of just sitting down

and starting to write your email it makes a lot of sense to first of all look at the task

and analyze it carefully if you invest just two minutes you get a lot of information

that can help you when you start writing

and it can also save you a lot of time later

because once you get into time trouble it is always good to have a plan with all the information you need.

So here is an example task for an email in B1 preliminary.

When you look at it at first it might be a little bit confusing

but if you look at it with a system and

if you ask the right questions there shouldn't be any problem at all the first thing

you should always find out in your task analysis is the topic of your email the topic can help you

choose some nice words and expressions

that you could include in your email looking back at our example task we can see

that your teacher wants to organize a party at the end of the school year now

that we know the topic of the email we need to look at what exactly we have to include

and this is where we need to look at these different content points

they give us the details that we need to fill our email with the most important information

so let's have a look again at the example task from before you can see

that there are the four topic

or content points on the side of your teacher's email

and there are only some little notes that are connected to the text with straight lines.

The four content points in our example are that you need to show that you think it's great that there's a party.

You have to explain if you prefer the party to be in the classroom

or if you would like to go to the park.

You also need to suggest some activities and last

but not least you should tell your teacher about food you would like to eat at the party the third

and last question of every good task analysis is to check

who's going to read your email as i've mentioned earlier emails in b1 preliminary are usually written to your teacher

friend or some other person that you know.

So that means that you don't have to use formal language.

You already know the person so you don't have to be too polite.

So in most emails we can use neutral or informal language

and you have to check which one is the best option in each individual task.

Here because we are writing to our teacher, we shouldn't make it too informal and keep it more on the neutral side.

Once we finish our task analysis and we have all the information we need,

the last thing to get ready is to think about the structure of our email.

Luckily every email in b1 preliminary looks exactly the same we start the text with an opening formula

after which we address the different content points

and at the end of our email we also write a closing formula you might think now okay

that all sounds nice and quite easy but what exactly is an opening formula

and a closing formula and how can i write a good topic paragraph

so that's what we're going to look at next let's have a look at an example email in detail

and let's go through it step by step together

let's start at the beginning every good email starts with some kind of greeting and an opening formula.

Here we simply want to say hello to the person we're writing to

but once again we need to be careful

if we have to use an informal opening or maybe something that is a little bit more neutral or formal.

If you want to write to a friend we can choose something informal.

For example we could say hi Phil.

However if you remember in our example we write to our teacher Mrs. Lake.

So we should be a little bit more respectful and formal.

So a good option to do that would be to say something like Dear Mrs. Lake.

This is nice and respectful and not too informal so it's perfect for our email.

Next we are going to write our topic paragraphs.

The topic Topic paragraphs are the most important parts of your email because they contain the different content points from the task.

Each topic paragraph can be only one or two sentences.

They don't have to be long because remember, you only write between 100 and 120 words in total,

which means that you don't have a lot of words available for each of these topic paragraphs.

You also need to be careful

that you use the right functional language in each of these paragraphs to show the examiner

that you understand exactly what you have to do with each of the content points.

So let's look at an example email that I've written for this specific task.

You can see the rather formal greeting at the top where I say Dear Mrs. Lake.

and then you can see

my four topic paragraphs in each paragraph i use specific language

to express exactly what the task asks me to do you

can see the language in the different colored boxes in the text you can also see

that each topic paragraph is basically just one sentence once again we don't have

100

that many words to spare

101

so we try to get to the point as quickly as possible

102

and keep our sentences nice and short like the ones in my example last

103

but not least we want to end our email with a

104

nice closing formula here we can write one final sentence where we end the email in a nice way

105

and then we use some kind of salutation in the end to say goodbye.

106

Once again all we need to do is to be careful with formal,

107

neutral and informal language so we make sure that we show the person the right level of respect.

108

So here you can see that my example is not too formal but it is also not completely informal.

109

i didn't use any slang words the only thing i did was to say thanks again

110

and see you in class phil

111

you see how easy it can be to write a good email for the b1 preliminary writing exam

112

every email works more or less in the same way simply remember

113

that you can always use the same structure as in the example

114

and you just need to be careful with the right functional

115

language as well as the most appropriate style formal neutral

116

or informal thank you very much for watching the video as

117

i mentioned at the beginning you can check out the full

118

119

and functional language that you can use in your own writing please also check out my other services

캠브리지 B1 PET 영어 이메일 쓰기: 기본 개념

영어 회화 연습뿐만 아니라 쓰기 실력도 중요한데, 캠브리지 B1 Preliminary(PET) 시험에서 이메일은 필수 과제입니다. 이메일을 잘 쓰려면 먼저 맥락을 파악하는 것이 key! 시험에서 이메일은 친구, 선생님 등 알고 있는 사람에게 쓰며, 100~120단어 정도로 작성해야 해요. 너무 짧아도 안 되니 조금 더 써서 안전하게 준비하세요.

이메일 쓰기의 3가지 핵심 요소

레이아웃: 명확한 시작과 끝, 모든 내용 포인트를 다루어야 해요.
적절한 언어: 동의/비동의, 의견 제시, 제안, 사과, 설명 등 다양한 기능을 표현할 수 있는 표현을 알아야 해요.
스타일: 보통 중립적이거나 비공식적인 영어를 사용하니, 상대방과의 관계에 맞게 조정하세요.

쉐도잉으로 실력 업그레이드: 단계별 가이드

영어 쉐도잉(shadowing)이란 말을 따라하는 연습인데, 이메일 쓰기뿐만 아니라 듣기와 발음 실력에도 도움돼요. 이 비디오를 활용한 쉐도잉 방법을 알려드릴게요!

비디오를 1회 듣고: 주요 내용을 파악하세요. 이메일의 주제, 내용 포인트가 무엇인지 정리해보세요.
키워드 추출: "content points", "layout", "style" 등 중요 단어를 적어두고, 발음을 따라해보세요. shadow speak처럼 천천히 말을 따라가며 발음을 연습하세요.
문장 단위로 따라하기: 비디오를 멈추며 문장을 반복해서 따라해요. 속도와 억양을 맞추려고 노력하세요. shadowing site에서도 비슷한 연습을 할 수 있지만, 이 비디오로 충분히 실력이 늘어날 거예요!

이메일 쓰기는 준비하면 쉬워지는 과제예요. 영어 회화 연습과 함께 쉐도잉을 꾸준히 하면, 시험에서 자신 있게 풀 수 있을 거에요. 화이팅!

이 영상의 문법

화자가 가장 많이 쓰는 문형을 영상 속 실제 표현과 함께 정리했습니다.

문형	영상 속 표현
현재완료 have/has + 과거분사 — 과거의 일이 지금도 관련이 있을 때	i've just mentioned · i've mentioned · I've written
수동태 be + 과거분사 — 누가 하는지보다 무슨 일이 일어나는지에 초점	being said · are connected · are usually written
“should” 조언 should + 동사 — 하는 것이 좋은 일을 말할 때	shouldn't be · should always find · should tell
“might / may” 가능성 might/may + 동사 — 가능하지만 확실하지 않은 일	might think · might be

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
