Example Letter
Dear David,
Thank you so much for your letter. I was so glad to hear from you!
In your letter, you asked if distance learning is popular in my country. Well, more than seven million students are enrolled in distance learning programs. The statistics speak for themselves. There are many benefits to online learning. Firstly, students can combine their jobs and studies. Secondly, you can earn money while simultaneously spending it on education. Thirdly, you can get an education at any time and at any age.
As for me, I didn’t realize how much I took my routine and school day for granted until now. My online school day consists of waking up at 10 a.m. instead of 6 a.m., working on my laptop in bed instead of in a classroom, and making my own schedule. While this might sound enjoyable for any teenager, it has made me miss school. I miss walking down the hallways with my friends, sitting in a classroom with teachers and other students, having discussions, and asking questions. I even miss the loud and crazy lunchroom! I truly miss the things I didn’t even realize I loved about my school.
Unfortunately, I’d better go now as I have an online lesson at 11:00. Keep in touch!
All the best,
Alex
