The aim of the preparatory exercises is to prepare useful language: specific vocabulary related to the topie as well as the typical components of a formal letter: opening and dosing phrases, the introduction and condusion.
The grammar exercise deals with indirect questions. You might wish to cover the relevant section in the grammar part (page 227) before or after doing these exercises.
