“So you think you have good manners?”: Writing Winning Email
Ms Lee Gek Ling
Centre for English Language Communication



Winning email is well-mannered email. Some are born with manners, some have manners thrust upon them, but all must have manners. As manners are cross-cultural, what is considered good manners in one culture may be impolite in another (e.g. informal salutations such as “Hi Peter!” may be acceptable in an email to an American professor, whereas it would be considered overly familiar and therefore rude to an Asian professor). To minimise cross-cultural rudeness, be as cosmopolitan as possible, buy a handbook for international (or national) etiquette, err on the side of politeness, and/or be formal until told otherwise by the recipient of your email.
Features of Winning Email
Accurate, concise, witty (optional) subject line: An attention-grabbing subject line often entices the reader to open the email whereas an insipid or dull subject line puts the reader off. An old subject line from another email thread is misleading; the reader might miss the new email, dismissing it as more of the same old chain.

Correct salutation: Be courteous: spell someone’s name correctly. Taking the trouble to find out what others are called shows you are polite, respectful and careful. To mis-spell someone’s name, if it was written down for you before, is unforgivable, betraying your sloppiness.

Good body: The ideal email should fit onto one screen. If the email is more than a couple of sentences, include sub-headings/numbered paragraphs so that the reader can quickly scan through the main points. Reading an email should take no longer than writing one. Remember"

Assignment -1：Memoir

Dear all. My name is CHU. YING - HAU. I am 22 years old and male. I grew up in a beautiful village, Taian, Taiwan. There are four people in my family, and I am the firstborn. Now I am a senior in National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I have an examination for graduate school next year. I hope I will be a graduate student of National Taiwan University (NTU).

My interests are music, movie, and internet access. When I am studying, I like to listen to Rock or Metal music. They let me become more and more cheerful. I don’t feel boring in the course book.

When I still at school, I hope I can do something to improve my English. Because we will talk with each other in English everywhere in the future. To reach my goal, I have to break my neck to learn English!

Best,

Terry
