Letter

The following "friendly" letter contains some words and phrases inside [ ]. First, delete these words. Then make the letter your own by writing your own words or phrases inside the [ ]. Choose specific and colorful words. Use your imagination! And don't hesitate to make changes outside of the brackets as well. For example, in the second sentence, you might change, "It's a very nice place," so it becomes, "It's an exciting, fascinating place except when the rain is pouring down."




[MONTH], [DAY], [YEAR]

Dear [Friend],

Well, here I am at [Camp Happy Days]. It's a [very] [nice] place except when [it rains]. The [other campers] are [friendly], but the [pleasant counselors] are sometimes [dull].

There are [two] [campers] in each of the [cozy] tents. At night, everyone is [quiet] so we [get lots of sleep]. I like that because [it's nice to sleep]. Every morning the [pretty] cook [rings a bell] to announce breakfast. This morning, we had [cereal], [toast], and [milk]. Everything tasted [good]. 

I must stop [writing] now, because in ten minutes we're going to [go on a hike]. We hope to find some [wildflowers], and we will [eat sandwiches] next to the [lake].

I hope you [are having a good vacation] too.

                 Your [friend],
                  [me]

Now imagine that you're disappointed with a product you bought. It could be a toy or a game or some kind of food or clothing. You've decided to write to the president of the company! You'll find a "frame letter" below. All you have to do is fill in the details wherever you see [ ], and then delete the [ ]. Feel free to change any words you want to. If you have a partner, work on it together. Or copy the frame to the next screen, so each of you can write a letter. You can also print out the frame and use it to write a letter by hand. Please notice that a business letter is set up differently from a friendly letter.
