Writing: Short Emails and Postcards
Writing an email
An informal email to a friend has this structure:
To: [email protected]
Subject: My holiday!
Hi Sara!
How are you? I'm writing to tell you about my holiday.
I'm in Barcelona with my family. The weather is great! Yesterday we visited the Sagrada Familia. It was amazing! Tomorrow we are going to go to the beach.
What are you doing this summer?
Write back soon!
Love,
Ana
Parts of an email

Writing a postcard
A postcard is shorter than an email. It usually talks about a holiday.
Dear Grandma,
Greetings from London! I'm having a great time. Today we visited the Tower of London. The weather is cold but sunny. I bought you a present!
See you next week!
Love, Pablo

Emails and postcards to friends are informal: use short forms (I'm, we're, it's) and friendly language. Start with "Hi" or "Dear" and end with "Love" or "Best wishes".
