B. Pre–Writing:

Task 1. Read the email and put the paragraphs in the correct order.

Hi Peter,
It's also a good idea to read the reviews. That way, you can see what other
users thought of the app.

Thanks for your email. I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty choosing
an educational app. I use them a lot, so let me offer you some advice.

C

I hope this advice helps. Let me know if you try it!

Free apps are great, but you should look at the ones you have to pay for,
