,

Fill, Thank you for your letter. It was great to

hear from you again. You asked me about my holidays. This is my second season at Camp Bellaire. I just passed my swimming test. Now I can swim out to the raft and also use the boats. To pass I had to jump into the water with my clothes on. (as if I had just fallen out of the boat). Then I had to take them down to my trunks, even my shoes and socks, and finally swim back to shore. It was tough, but I did it! How has your summer been? Not too hot, I hope. Did you get to visit your grandparents? Did you go on a trip to Toronto as you had planned? They say Toronto is a beautiful city! Looking forward to seeing you soon. There is lots of news to catch up on!. Best wishes, Mike.

Break the Letter into Paragraphs

you`re going to visit Russia.
The weather in summer is

usually hot, so I don` t think you `ll
need lots of warm clothes. However, you`d better take a jacket.

Can`t wait to see you.

In your letter you asked me about the life in a big city.

As for me, I enjoy living in Moscow as there are lots of parks
and cosy cafes, museums and galleries. In the evening I go
for a walk with my friends, and at weekends we go to the
theatre or cinema.

I`d better go now as I have to do my homework-boring!

Lots of love,
Rita

Dear Jane,

Have you got any museums in your town? Are they free for
students? Are there sports facilities?

Dear Rob,
Thank you for your letter. I am very glad to receive it. I am glad you managed to talk to Sam. Please give my best regards to him.
You asked me about technology. I have got a new mobile. It has got
a camera, so I am taking a lot of pictures at the moment. I have also
got a computer but I use it mainly for surfing the Net. Of course, we
have got things like a TV, a DVD player and a music centre. My parents
usually watch TV whereas my brother spends hours playing computer
games.
I am glad you have made such progress in chess. Is it difficult to learn
how to play it? Will I be able to do it on my own? How can I get started?
I have got to go now as I am helping my father in the garage.

All the best,
Andrew

For informal writing, you need to use some of the

linkers that are more specific to spoken language.

It is bad style to start a sentence with these words:

It was great to hear from you again.

Spot the mistakes

Dear Jane,

Madrid

So, what`s new? I am not living with my parents anymore. What else? I`ve just got a pay increase at work. How does it sound to you? I was really surprised because I`ve only been working there for six months.
Well, I went to a party last week. It was great!
Sorry, I must go and get on with my work. Look forward to seeing you soon!
Love,
