Written communication has changed a lot in recent years. Instead of letters, we send each other emails more and more often. Apart from instant messages apps, we also use emails. Here you can see a selection of them, written by 4th ESO students.
Hi
Pedro
How
are you? I’m really happy because i’m visiting Panama next week. this
week i'm doing a surf camp. What do you think?
At first I thought was not going to like it but then I
started to like it. And this week is already the third that I am in the camp. I have also made many new friends and I am getting
very motivated to continue practicing this sport.
For me it is an unforgettable experience because it is
a sport that I really liked and the people who are very nice and I recommend
you try it sometime.
Anyway, I’va got to surf now. Keep in touch.
Take care,
Nicolas
Hi Maria,
How’s it going? It seems like we haven’t seen each
other for years and I have a lot of thing to tell you! Do you remember when I
said I wanted to try something new? Well I did.
I used to do ballet but it becomes to be boring, so I
decided to try Hip Hop. First day I was terrified because it was my first time
at all and I didn’t know anyone. After the first class I felt really good and I
loved it. I’ve been going to hip hop classes since then and I realized that is
something that I really want to do. I have to say that I thought that It will
be more difficult but, the truth is, that it isn’t as hard as I imagine. I
really like it and I want to get better and have fun. And you won’t believe it
but people are very nice and outgoing, I made a lot of friends and I feel more
confident.
Has that ever happened to you? I mean, to try
something and ask yourself why you hadn’t tried it before? Because that is
exactly what happened to me.
Anyway, I wanted you to know this because you’re a
very important person for me and I have more thing to tell you so I hope to see
you soon!
Love,
Natalia
Hi Marti,
How are you?
What have you been doing since I last saw you? You won’t believe it, but I’ve
been studying all summer.
My mom made
me study all summer so last year as you know it didn't go very well even though
I passed the course. Well I’ve been studying at an academy in the mornings and
in the afternoons playing football, so it hasn’t been a very easy summer for me,
that if I go back to school like never before because I studied everything in
the summer.
Has it ever
happened to you that they made you study more than in your whole life? Well
it's up to me in this one!. If you want me to give you an opinion on something
you already know, say it!
Anyway, my
mother already calls me to go study, see you keep it touch!
Take care,
Aleix
Hi Natalia,
How are you? What have you been doing since last
month, when we met? You won’t believe me but I’ve founded a charity, and Maria is
helping me to organize all. Did you talk to Maria?
I used to think the charity was a waste of time but I
decided to speak with Maria anyway. Well, I'm happy because I never thought I could
do something like that to help other people. I thought that I had to do
something and I started. The people think that it’s to easy to wear an
organization but I don't think so, we have to talk with another organization,
we have to go to houses to give information and ask for money to send them to
poor countries…
Has that even happened to you? I mean, have you had
the necessity of doing something good for the others. I'm texting you because I
want to know if you're interested in working with us.
Anyway, I’ve got to go now, I’ll be late for Maria’s
meeting. Keep in touch!
Take care,
Carla
Hi Peter,
How it’s going there in Rome? I am missing you every
day. I know you won’t belive it, but last month I started to played the piano.
You know I Iove playing the guitar, I mean, all type
of instruments seem interesting to me, so I decided to ask for information
about piano classes and my music teacher offered a good teacher. The first day
I went I was scared and a little shy, but now I am more confindent about me and I
practise almost every day. Anyway, piano is my only a hobby but I would
love to do a recital.
Do you think piano is a good hobby? Would you like to
practise one day with me when you will returned? Basically now my routine
consists in going to school, having breakfast and then playing the piano or the guitar
I’ve got to go now, my mother is waiting me because we
need to go shopping, but tomorrow I will call you at night and I would like to
hear you happy.
Love you,
Marina
Hi Abril,
How are you? What have you been doing this weekend? Surprisingly, I’ve been
taking dance classes!
I know you won’t believe it, but I’ve been really interested in dancing since I
was little. I never had the encouragement to do it because I was really shy and
afraid of what they might say, but my mom said it was a good idea so… I did it!
We were looking for a dance studio near home and it was unexpectedly easy to
find it. I started with some hip-hop and I’ve learned many steps I didn’t even
know they existed.
I thought it would be really hard for me because I had never tried it but it
was easier than I thought. Even though I was new, they tried to help me because
I arrived later. They were really supportive, and I think that is the main
reason I succeeded.
I’m glad I took those
classes; I’ve met amazing people since then and I wish I could present them to
you one day. Dancing has made me feel more confident about myself and I’m eager
to learn more about it.
Anyway, I’ve got to
go for lunch, but I’ll keep in touch!
Take care,
Ona
Hi Mitch.
How are
you? How about is your girlfriend, Jamie?
You aren’t going to believe me I joined an organization that helps
abandoned dogs to find a new home.
I’m sure
that this notice will surprise you, because you know that the dogs have
frighten me for all my live but now, I think that are the most beautiful
animals of the world. Also, some years ago I thought that this organizations
were a manner to defraud people, but now that I work there, I know that it wasn’t
true. I go there two times a week and I help to wash the abandoned dogs before
the new owners come to see it, and when I see that these dogs have again a home
and the happiness faces of the new owners, I used to cry. Because these moments
are too emotional and very beauty, and I think that see all these moments have
made a difference on me.
Have you
ever done something like these? I suggest you to try it, because, like I said
in the last paragraph, is a very beautiful experience that you should live at
least one time in your life.
Anyway,
so I have to live now, I ought to arrive at time to my football match. Have a
nice weekend friend.
Take care,
Samuel
