FORMAL EMAIL

Dear Jones,

I enjoyed reading your recent email. I hope you and your family are very well. I’m excited about your visit next month, and I am writing to give you some information about myself and my life. I’m sixteen years old and I live with my parents in Madrid. I’m not crazy about living here, but it’s OK.

I go to school in the city and I’m involved in lots of after-school activities. I’m not keen on studying, but I’m worried about my exams – I don’t want Dad to be disappointed in me, so I work hard. Do you like school?

Sorry it’s only a short email, but I need to stop writing now. Please give my best wishes to your family.

I look forward to receiving a reply from you soon.

I will see you next month.

Cheers,

Maria

INFORMAL EMAIL

Hi Becky,

It was good to hear from you. How are you and your family doing? I’m excited about your visit next month, and I’m writing to tell you a bit more about myself. I’m sixteen years old and I live with my parents in Madrid. I’m not crazy about living here, but it’s OK.

I go to school in the city and I’m involved in lots of after-school activities. I’m not keen on studying, but I’m worried about my exams – I don’t want Dad to be disappointed in me, so I work hard. Do you like school?

Sorry it’s only a short email, but I must go now. Say hello to your family.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I will see you next month.

Cheers,

Maria
