You made a new friend while on your summer holidays. Before you went home, you exchanged home and email addresses with them and agreed to write to tell them about the new school you have started in. Write this letter or email to your new friend.
I MUST
❍ Use the correct layout, including address, date, greeting and sign-off
❍ Describe the new school I have just started in (e.g. teachers, uniform, new friends, subjects) and say how I feel about the experience
❍ Mention some news that I have, for example, a new sport or hobby
❍ Say what I intend to do during the mid-term break
I SHOULD ❍ Use the Proof-Reading Wheel to check my work ❍ Use a dictionary to check any spellings I’m not sure of
❍ Be creative (your news doesn’t need to be true – invent some details to make the email/letter interesting)
I COULD ❍ Make a confession about a fi b I told them on holidays ❍ Invite them to come and stay with me
