Writing Strategy

When you write a letter to a friend or relative:

– Start with: Dear [Jake],.

– Begin the main part of the letter with a short introduction. You can use phrases like: How are you? Sorry I didn’t reply sooner. Thanks for your letter.

– Write in paragraphs.

– Do not use very formal language in your letter.

– Use contractions (it’s, there’s, etc.).

– Finish the main part of the letter with a short paragraph. You can use phrases like: That’s all for now. I’d better go now. Write again soon.

– End the letter with Love, or Best wishes, and your first name.

Write a letter to another friend in which you:
