(Presentation of the theme)

Explaining the rules of letter writing

We write informal letters to friends and relatives we know well, or to people our own age. An informal letter should include:

• an informal greeting such as Dear/ Hi + person's name or just Hi!

• An introduction with opening remarks, e.g. How are you? I'm fine but I've been really busy, etc. and your reason for writing.

• A main body containing the main points of the letter.

• A conclusion with closing remarks, e.g. That's all for now. Write back soon.

• An informal ending, e.g. Love from/ Lots of love/ See you soon/ Best wishes/ Yours + your name or just your name.

Each paragraph should have a topic sentence followed by appropriate supporting sentences.

Informal letters should be written in an informal style. That is : everyday vocabulary (It's taken me a while to … ), short forms (I'd, I've, there's), colloquial expressions/idioms (I thought I'd drop you a line …), phrasal verbs (settle in, getting on).
