Because you are supposed to do it.

well we did'nt cus my teacher says there is a 0% chance of it coming upon its own. and if it did i have notes in my succes au brevet!

does it need to be long anyway???

for anyone who is in a panic about french formal letters... here is vocab i found for it!! hope it helps :P


Formal letters are written to tourist offices, hotels, campsites, schools etc. requesting information or making reservations. They are different in French and in English. The many differences concern the layout of the information on the page.
General Guidelines
Remember to use only the ‘vous’ form of the verb and not the familiar form ‘tu’.
Begin with either Monsieur or Madame followed by a comma. Never use Cher / Chère!
The town, date, month and year are placed on the top line on the right-hand side of the page. Note the comma after the town and the use of a small letter for the month!
The sender’s address is placed directly opposite, on the left-hand side. Don’t forget to include ‘Irlande’ spelt correctly!
The recipient’s address and country is placed one line beneath the town and date.
Leave a line between paragraphs
Use a formal ending and sign the letter.
Remember when writing a formal letter there is no need to expand beyond the information in the guidelines.

EVERYTHING COMES UP IN SCIENCE ! practically nothing is left out .. I HATE SCIENCE

English .. Themes question for studied drama is likely to come up.. Relationship for studied fiction dont rule out ending ..

Maths .. for long theorems as ye all know angle at center of the circle is twice the meausre of the angle at the circumference standing on the same arc and possibility of a line through the center of the circle bisects the chord or a diagonal bisects the area of a parallogram , short theorem question vertically opp angles has never come up but thats cause its too easy :L .. also constructions didnt come up last year so nearly guranteed they will this year as and for constructions circum circle and incircle are due and they are the 2 hardest ones , well for me :L
