CAQA LLND - Optional practice guide
Write a clear request
Version 1.0
Skill: Writing

Organise a message so the reader knows what help you need.

Try these steps:
1. Decide who will read your message and why you are writing.
2. Name the topic in the subject or first sentence.
3. Explain the situation briefly using the details the reader needs.
4. Ask a clear question or describe the action you are requesting.
5. Read again. Check names, dates, spelling and tone.

Practice activity:
Draft a message asking your trainer to explain part of a course task. Include the task name, what you tried and your question.

Talk or think about:
- Can the reader tell what you need?
- Have you left out unrelated personal information?
- Would reading aloud help you improve the message?

Optional practice only. This guide does not provide an assessment result, skill level or proof of competence. Ask your provider which activities suit your course and what support or alternative format is available.
Keep any practice notes somewhere private. This guide does not collect or save responses.
