Sample email
Subject: Hello from Russia!
Hi Ben,
How are you? I’m writing to tell you about my life. I live in a small town in Russia with my parents and my younger sister. I usually get up at 7 o’clock, have breakfast and go to school. After school, I do my homework and play football with my friends. In the evening, I read or watch TV.
These days, I’m preparing for an English test and helping my mum at home. Tonight, I’m meeting my friends at the park. We’re going to have pizza together.
Write back soon!
Best wishes,
Alex
Key points
- Where you live: I live in a small town…
- Daily routine: use the Present Simple: I get up, go, do, play.
- What you are doing these days/tonight: use the Present Continuous:
I’m preparing, I’m helping, I’m meeting. - The email has the necessary structure: subject, greeting, main text and ending.
The task is completed: the email tells where the writer lives, describes a daily routine and explains what the writer is doing these days and tonight. Replace the town, family members and activities with your real details.
