Question 29

You booked a place on a weekend photography course at a local community centre. Your booking confirmation and two later messages give different information about the day, the starting time, the room and the equipment you need.

Write a letter to the centre manager about this problem.

In your letter, you should:

  • set out the information you have received
  • explain how the uncertainty is affecting you
  • state what you would like the manager to confirm or do.

You may invent additional details.

Your work will be assessed on communication and adaptation to audience and purpose (27 marks), and organisation and technical accuracy (18 marks).
