A letter to Kylie.

            Hi Kylie,
     
        It was great to hear from you and that you're going on an amazing trip. How many days does your trip last?
      I had an unforgettable time in my trip last year. If you don't know much about the sharks and the dolphins, you'll learn a lot of inforation about them, such as what they eat and where they live. Although the dolphins are friendly, I should warn you that the sharks are very dangerous and you have to come face-to-face with them! However, if you're lucky, you will swim with dolphins and you won't notice that a shark was going to bite you!

      If I were you, I'd take goggles with me and I suggest taking a swimsuit. You'll also need an underwater camera for videos with the dolphins and the sharks and a knife, if something goes wrong!
   
      Well, I think that's all. I hope you have a good time.
      Bye for now,
           Elpidoforos.

Informal letter giving information

Hi Kylie 
              It was great to hear from you .When are you leaving ?
              I had a fantastic time at my ecological trip last three months  , I learn about wildlife , but the hours are long , and  I should warn you that you have to get up early. If you don't know about strange species of animals and birds , you 'll learn all about them there. Moreover, everyone was friendly.
              If  I were you , I would take a video camera , binoculars , insect repellent and heavy boots. I would take insect repellent because in these areas there are many flies. I suggest taking a torch too.
                         I hope you have a good time.

                                 Best wishes
                                      Nick

An informal letter to Pam

Dear Pam,

  
      How are you? Thanks for your last e-mail. I'm glad you're well. I hope everything's fine there. By the time, is your mother doing fine? I really enjoyed the housewarming party and I had great time there!

   Before the party I was a little nervous and streessed at first, but after when all the guests turned up and I started unwind, I had so much fun. After the party, the House looked as if a bomb had hit it! On the floor were spilled drinks, there were bottles everywhere and pieces of pizza in the sofa. There were plastic cups and plates scratted around the House. It was horrible! It took me awhole day to clean up the mess! My parents weren't there so I had to tidy up alone! Regarding the photographs, tanks for those that you sent me! They were very funny! I noticed that some photos were missing, such as the one where mary is acting like a dog! It's really funny! I'd like to put it on our blog!

      Concerning your diary, three days ago I found it under the sofa. If you want I'll bring it with me when I visit you. Would you like to have it right now?

     I'd love to admire your new house. I'm going to come next month. Is that OK? It will cool to hang out with your friends and go sightseeing,too. I heard that the historical places is very popular. Also, I would like to see your CD collection because I love the kind of music that you prefer.

    Write back soon! I can't wait to meet you!

                                              Best wishes,
                                                           Marinos   

Informal Letter to an e-friend

Dear David,

 
       As for my personal details, I'm Marinos and I'm the same age as you. Thanks for your letter. I'm glad you wrote to me after you found my profile on the Webpal International site.

      I was born in Heraklion and I lived here ever since with family. Heraklion is the largest city on Crete. I live in a family house which is about 20 minutes from the center by car. My school is only 10 ninutes' walk from there. In my area there are many different shops to buy some souvenirs. For example supermarket "Chalkiadakis" is near my house. Moreover, my house is near a gym and in front of it is a park with different kinds of trees and flowers. Furthermore, I have got a sister who is 15 years old and her name is Rafaela. Also, I haven't got a pet but I want one! My parents disagree with me.

     I spend my spare time listening to music because it relaxes me and also the lyrics make me more enthusiastic. My favourite Pop singer is Rihanna. In addition to that, I really like to hang out  with my friends and go to the cinema on weekends. Also, on Sundays my family and I usually go to our village and meet my grandparents. Moreover, every day after school my friends and I go for a walk or go to an internet-cafe'. Furthermore, I enjoy playing computer games on the internet or playing football with my friends every friday evening. Also, every day after I do my homework, I watch tv with my parents or a DVD with adventure.

   The reason why I want a penfriend is because it is a great opportunity to improve my English, especially my writing skills and also I want to learn more about your interests and your country. Please tell me!


    Write soon! I look forward to your next letter!

                                                                 Yours,
                                                                         Marinos

Get well soon card

                        GET WELL SOON !

             Dear Marinos,

            How are you today? Are you better? Now I am in Thessaloniki, but when I heard the bad news about your accident I immediately booked tickets to come to Crete. Is the hospital fully equipped? Here there are the best hospitals in Greece. Tomorrow I'm flying to Crete, so we will meet!!! Your doctor told me that the operation went well and that you will go home in some days!!! Get well soon! See you tomorrow!!!

                             Lots of love,

                                John
