Why Do We Write Emails?

Example Opening and Closing

Opening: Hi Maria, Closing: See you soon!

Using 'I like to' and 'I don’t like to'

Say what you enjoy or do not enjoy in your neighbourhood. Example: I like to go to the park. I don’t like to walk in busy streets.

Present Simple in Emails

We use present simple to talk about daily life, for example: - I live in a flat. - My street is quiet.

Using Conjunctions: 'and', 'but'

'And' joins similar ideas. 'But' shows a difference. Example: My house is small but it is friendly.
