Worksheet Overview

Different types of text have different purposes.

You see these texts every day, perhaps without thinking about their purpose in much detail.

But when you have to write one of these texts, it is important to know what to include in it.

In this activity, you will look at three specific types of text, what the purpose is and the language used!
