Example Letter
Hi Susan,
How are you? I hope the summer job is going well. Have you decided where to go on holiday? That skiing break sounds like the best option, doesn’t it?
Anyway, we’re camping here on the Isle of Skye. We’re staying on a campsite in the middle of nowhere. We’ve been here for five days, but it feels much longer. It’s rained every single day—can you believe it? Everything is wet—our shoes, our sleeping bags, all our clothes.
Luckily, we didn’t come here for the nightlife—there isn’t any! But honestly, we’re all too tired at the end of the day anyway. We go walking every day, and yesterday we saw some seals. We’ve all tried sailing and windsurfing, but we’re not very good at either. This afternoon, I fell into the sea five times!
Well, I must finish—it’s my turn to cook tonight. Write back soon—I’ll be home on Monday. You can tell me all your news!
All the best,
Janet
P.S. Brian phoned before we left—he wants you to get in touch.
