How to write a letter

Slide 1 - Slide

Email versus Informal letter
The format of the informal letter looks basically just like the format of the email that we have practiced during my lessons.

The only difference is that you have to add:
Your Name, Address and Date at the top of the letter. 

It is easy! 

Slide 2 - Slide

Slide 3 - Slide

At the top of the letter write:
Your name
Address
 Date 

In English we write the house number before the street name.

Leave lines open before and after the date

Parts of an informal letter
- Your name and address
- Date (NEVER use numbers 5-10-2023)
- Greeting, begroet degene die je een brief stuurt
- Introduction - "Make contact" + Reason, de reden dat je de brief  schrijft
- Body -Main text, de boodschap van je brief
- Conclusion - wat verwacht je van degene?
- Greeting, sluit je brief weer af met een groet.

Dear Mr Johnson
Dear Sir/Madam

Reason for writing

Main text
Write your message to the reader
- Write down what you want to say, make a new paragraph with each thing you talk about.

Wat wil je vertellen?

Closing
Write down what you expect from the reader:
- I hope to hear from you soon

- Tell me if you're available Saturday

Wat verwacht je nu van de lezer?

Final greeting
Finish your letter with another greeting:
Informal letter: (to someone close, like friends or family)
