Hi guys,

Letters are probably what yous are more probable to write in English, both in exams and real life. Of course, at that place are different kinds of messages. At present we are going to focus on informal messages.

When you are writing a letter/email, you unremarkably accept to cover different elements from the task input (for instance, sometimes y'all have to explain your news to your friend, other times you are required to give advice or even make a complaint).

PARAGRAPH 1:	– GREETING.
PARAGRAPH 2:	-Thanks. -INITIAL SALUTATION. -APOLOGISING (IF YOU Oasis´T WRITTEN IN A WHILE). -Explicate WHY YOU ARE WRITING.
PARAGRAPH three/4	-COVER THE Chore REQUIRED (If yous are required to requite advice, you must give advice to a friend/relative…)
PARAGRAPH five	– DRAWING THE Letter TO A Shut. – FAREWELL.

Allow´s see now what kind of sentences and vocabulary yous can use to write the unlike paragraphs:

For example, imaging that you have to write an email giving your news to a friend, it could be:

"Hi Eva,

Sorry I haven´t been in affect for a while but I've been quite ill. I got influenza terminal week and I had a temperature of 39°C and then I've been in bed for almost iv days. I'k feeling a scrap better today and so I've been catching upwardly on my emails. Luckily my classes at university don't start till next week. How are yous? What take yous been doing? Anything exciting?

Here everyone is fine – apart from me and my flu! My brother Ian has just started his new job in a tape-company – I recall I told you lot about it when I last wrote – anyhow, he's really enjoying it. How is your family? I hope they're well. I take skilful news – I'm going to a conference in your town in May, from 16th to 20th. Could you recommend a hotel where I could stay in the centre of town? It needs to be somewhere not too expensive because the academy is paying. I'll have a free half-day for sightseeing. Do y'all think you'll be able to show me around? That would be great. Well, that'south all for now. Please give my regards to your family.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Take intendance,

Chris."
