WRITING: AN INFORMAL LETTER
№ 1
An informal letter is a letter to an English-speaking friend. In this kind of letter we may use:
• a friendly and personal tone
• contracted verb forms like I'm and hasn't
• phrasal verbs
• informal expressions such as a bit (for '.a little')
• fewer polite expressions like (would be most grateful if you would... (we would probably say Could you... or Will you... instead)
• fewer passive verb forms
Can you think of anything else to add to this list?
№ 2

You have recently done an exciting sports or leisure activity for the first lime. Write to an English-speaking penfriend, describing what you did and how you felt. Write your letter in 120-180 words in an appropriate style. Do not write any addresses.
| I must tell you about a really amazed experience I had yesterday. It was our day off so we went to an old airfield near Oxford and flew in a microlight! I was with Jane, who is very friendly instructor. First we went across grass very quickly, shaking a lot. Then we were in the air with only the noise of the engine and I thought 'I hope this thing doesn't stop' because when I looked down I saw it was a long way. After that we flew over some trees and suddenly we started to drop. Jane said it was because the air was colder there and it always happened like that, but I was terrifying and at that moment I wished I had stayed on ground. At last we came down. Our landing was hard but the first thing I said when I got out was 'When can I do this again? ' It was the wonderful fun. Please write soon to tell me your news. |
