Writing LettersA letter is a form of writing which is used to
communicate a message.People write letters for a huge variety of
reasons including: To keep in touch with friends To apply for a job To complain To make an enquiry To argue a point
It is important to use the correct language and layout in a letter depending on who you are sending it to.
Writing a letter to a Friend
Remember that you are writing a letter to a friend so try to keep the tone light-hearted but the sentences must still be in standard English.
Follow the correct FormatWhen writing a letter always write:
Sender’s addressDate
Salutation and Name of recipientIndent to start writing the introduction.
Start a new paragraph for every point you have to write about.
Sign off! It is always a good idea to make sure the recipient of the letter knows who is sending it! So at the bottom of the page say, ‘Yours sincerely,’ or ‘Thanking you’ or ‘Yours faithfully.’ Then write your name on the last line.

Plan your Writing Carefully!
Your task today is to pretend you are Lek, a young man who helps Daeng the fisherman.Lek has just returned home after an unusual day. While on a fishing trip, their net got stuck and after pulling it endlessly, they managed to pull the net onto the fishing boat.Inside the net they found not only fish, but also a valuable blue and white plate!
Pre-WritingWhen writing a recount, a good idea to plan your writing is to make a time-line of events so that you relate them in chronological order.
