A Christmas present!

Hello again!

After your original stories and we know Christmas is coming, I think it’s important to know how to write a letter to a friend, an informal letter. You have to take into account 5 different parts:

1. Heading. At the top right side you should write your address and the date.

2. Greeting. It starts with the word “dear” and using the name of the person or relationship. It ends with a comma. For example, Dear John, or Dear Uncle,

3. Body. It’s the information you write.

4. Closing. A short expression followed by a comma. For example, Your friend,

5. Signature. This is your name and it goes under the closing.

Here you have an example of an informal letter:

256 Country Lane
North Baysville, CA 53286

Dear Bob,

How are you? The last time we talked was two months ago! Have you gone to ski this year? I went to ski last weekend and it was so good! My family and I enjoyed a lot. The weather was sunny and cold and the place was almost empty. We spend the day skiing and in the evening we came back home by car. But we found a lost horse on the road so we called the police. They came and took the horse. It was black and so big! I think I want to learn to ride a horse. I will ride one tomorrow because one of my friends has one. Do you like horses? Which is your favourite animal?

I am looking forward to receive your letter back.

Your friend,

Susan
