In this activity, you will learn some personal letters which you might find them familiar. Read the following personal letters.

TASK 1

Example1:

April 17th 2018

Dear Fatima, 

I hope this letter finds all of you in the best of health and spirits. All of us are also doing fine here. It has been a very long time since we met or wrote to each other. So I thought of penning down a few lines to check things with you.

We just got back from our vacation to Malang and had a great time. We went to Bromo and Kota Batu. Amazing must see places. If you happen to ever plan a holiday to that side of the world do let me know and I shall give you tips on sight seeing, culinary, etc.

I want to share something that is disturbing me these days.Mom has not been keeping good health and I am really worried for her. Sometimes I see bad dreams about mom and they wake me up in the middle of the night. I am sure you know what bad dreams I am talking about. Please don’t share this with anybody and I know I can trust you on this.

Anyways you say what is up with you and how is work? I can see that it is keeping you really busy, as I haven’t heard from you at all.

Give my love to your mom and dad and loads of love to you too.
Stay in touch and do write!
Take care
Love, 

Example 2: 

Hello,

I would like to get to know someone from your country and a friend has told me that you would like to practise your English. Perhaps we could email each other. Could you tell me a bit about yourself and your family? Could you suggest how we might meet sometime in the future?

Thanks...

TASK 2

In this task, you are going to analyse the letter structure by the senders and receivers.

1. What personal relation do each sender of the letter to the addressees? Provide evidence from the letters!

2. What is the tone of each letter? Provide evidences from the letters.

1.                                        Based on the letter 1, the sender and the addressee are old friends.  It can be seen that Aleena as the sender of the letter said “It has been a very long time since we met or wrote to each other. So, they used to meet each other before.

                                   According to Letter 2 and 3 which has the correlation, it can be implied that they, sender and the addressee, have never met each other before. Letter 2 told that the sender sent this letter to his friend’s friend. The sender of this letter wanted to improve his English while the addressee (who is the sender of Letter 3) wants to practice English. One thing to make sure that they have never met each other is that the sender of Letter 2 asks the addressee to introduce himself and the addressee replied it in Letter 3.

2.                                        The tone of the letter is informal but the letter 1 is friendlier than the other letter. It can be seen from the word choice of the letters. The letters use the word ‘dear’ and ‘hello’ for the opening and the closing of the letter 3, the sender said “Anyway, I must go and get on with my work! “ it tells us that the style of language is not formal. In Letter 1 also tells us that the sender uses word ‘take care’ and ‘love’.
