| phrases:
"what is your country like?" |
In this letter you have
to write about your country, its culture and traditions. You should tell
your partner all the things which make your country different from the
others. You can talk about many things in general, or if you want, you
can focus on one aspect (especially in the 3rd paragraph).
This letter has three parts.
The first one is an introduction, where you will explain what you
are going to write about, and where you will answer your partner personal
questions (first paragraph). The second is the body of the letter,
with two paragraphs (2 on and 3rd paragraph). The last part is a kind of
conclusion, where you summarize what you have said and say good
bye to your friend. In order to help you, I have prepared the outline of
the letter, and added some ideas to develop it, but you have to do the
most important part. Use the vocabulary from the table above. Use your
dictionary to find more words.
