Letter Writing

 As part of my Class 7 students' preparation for the HIPPO competition, I asked them to write a letter, following the instructions found online. I wanted to help them practise their writing skills more. 

Imagine you have just come back from holiday. Write a letter to a friend telling him or her about your holiday.

You can write about...

• What happened on the journey
• Where you stayed on holiday
• What you did on holiday
• What you liked/disliked about your holiday 

Dear Emily,

How are you? What have you been up to lately?

I am going to tell you all about my wonderful holiday in Los Angeles, California, USA. We went there by plane. We travelled for 12 hours! I cannot even tell you how sleepy I was! We went to visit my grandma, and I was so excited to see her, because I have not seen her in ages. When we got there, we unpacked our bags, ate some dinner and went to sleep.
The next morning, we got dressed and went to explore the town. We went to Disneyland! It was great! There were a lot of fun rides, and of course I met the princesses. We even went to watch The Lakers play! It was awesome! Going to California was the best holiday ever! 

Hope to hear from you soon,

Love,
Kosana

Dear Michael,

How are you? Is John recovering from the fall?

I have just returned from my holiday, and it was so great up there in the mountains. It's much colder there than here in the flatlands, I saw many little creeks, and the water was so pure. We stayed in a small cottage with a small farm behind it. I tasted many food specialties, and they were gorgeous. But the best part of the whole holiday was when we went mountain climbing. You like mountain climbing, don't you?

I really recommend you go there on your next holiday. You won't regret it.

Write me soon,
Lazar
