Writing focus

A form labels the information it needs. Short fields often take phrases rather than full sentences; a motivation box may need connected sentences. Follow the requested date format and name labels. For a short application, explain your relevant interest honestly instead of listing unrelated personal details.

Model writing

Preferred class: Evening

Occupation: Shop assistant

Reason for applying: I use English in short messages to customers. I want to improve my sentence structure and write more polite requests. The evening class would fit my work schedule, and I can practise between lessons.

Common mistakes

Instead of	Use	Why
Occupation: Kampot.	Occupation: Student.	Occupation asks for work or role; Kampot is a place.
I interested in the course.	I am interested in the course.	Interested is an adjective here and needs be.

1. Evening

   A short field can take a phrase; other offered times may also be valid.

2. I write messages to customers at work. I want to make them clearer and more accurate.

   Model answer: connect a real need to a learning goal.

3. Naming order varies, and the form requests specific name parts.

   Do not assume the first written word always means given name.
