short Lessons, Exercises and
examples):
Short lesson in writing a letter: Writing a letter about your daily routine Some things we do daily. We can write about them but remember to use the present simple tense. Need to keep in mind the time expressions like, in the morning, in the evening, at night, in the afternoon, at weekends, on holiday, on Saturday, at New Year's, from 7pm to 9pm.
Signal words: First, then, after that, next, and finally. Frequency words: Sometimes, often, always, usually, never. Now lets talk about the five parts of a letter Date Greeting Message or body Closing Signature Every letter has 5 parts to be correct
Here is an example of David's daily routine sent in a letter to his friend Eric February 12, 2013 Dear Dave, Hi, How are you? I hope you are doing very well! I just started University and my daily routine is different now. First I get up at 6 in the morning, then I take a shower at 6:15. After that I eat my breakfast at 6:30 in the morning. Next I put on my clothes and go to University. I usually arrive late because of the bus. Then my first class starts at 8 in the morning. I always set in the front row in the class. I usually stay at the University for 4 hours everyday. After that I go home at 1 in the afternoon. I usually have my lunch at 1 in the afternoon. I will tell you my the rest of my routine in the next letter. I have to go to my class now
