Writing Bank 1
Informal emails / letters
Informal emails/letters are pieces of writing we send to people we know well. We usually start an informal email/letter with Dear + the persontasks first name. In the first paragraph, we writ: our opening remarks (e.g. Hi! How are you?) and the reason for writing. We write about specific topics in separate paragraphs. In the last paragraph, we write our closing remarks (e.g. Have to go now.) and sign off with an informal ending (eg. Yours) and our first name.
We use informal style, that is:
everyday vocabulary (Itaskm having a great t:me.)
colloquial expressions/idioms (Drop me a line.)
informal linkers (so. and. etc)
short verb forms (I cantaskt, Itaskll be, etc.)

You have received an email from your English pen friend, Mark.
I like my house but my neighbourhood is very noisy. What is your house like? What is it close to? Do you like your neighbourhood?
Write him an email and answer his questions.
Dear Mark,
How are you doing? Sorry for not writing for so long. We moved to a new flat a week ago and wetaskve been really busy. I wanted to drop you a quick line to tell you about my new home.
Ittasks a nice flat on the third floor overlooking a park. There are two bedrooms, a big living room, a big kitchen and a bathroom with both a shower and a bath. Itaskve got my own bedroom.
The neighbourhood is really quiet. There is a butchertasks, a chemisttasks, a greengrocertasks and two cafes, but there isntaskt a cinema or a supermarket. What I like most is the huge park. Itaskve made some new friends and we spend most of the afternoons there playing basketball or riding our bikes. Itaskll send you photos. Unfortunately, my school is quite far away but I go there in a car with my dad. Drop me a line soon!
Yours,
Yuri
