Reading text

Tips

  1. Start with Hi if it is an informal email to someone you know.
  2. The email can have three main paragraphs:
    • the reason for writing (= to say thank you)
    • the main point (= more details or examples)
    • a wish or offer for the future.
  3. Use emojis (e.g. smiley) or emoticons (e.g. :) ) to show you're joking.
  4. You can say See you soon / See you next year if you hope to meet again.
  5. Use a closing phrase like Keep in touch, Write soon, Speak soon or Take care.

Certainly, I really like to move to Canada, before it will visit and probably stay at in a family house.

Undoubtedly I won't miss this opportunity if I have got this chance. Because I always love to know about new cultures and explore something new. Without staying in any host family in a new country, it will be very tough to know about the new culture of that country.

Of course, Yes but with the respectable family that's trying to kept up your privacy. Also, living in isolated suite or room to feel more confident in that place. Wish you all enjoy with your future trip. Mohammed

Hi teachers of this website, I just wanted to say thank you for helping me to improve my English. I've already explored the entire Grammar's section, which made me much more conscious of the language's structure. I loved the simple explanations, always coming with good examples and useful exercises. After that I've started my "training", trying to write and to speak, and once more this website has been proving itself to be a very helpful tool. Thanks a lot!

Hi Clarissa,

Thank you very much for your lovely comment. It's great to know we're helping people improve their English!
