Email – Going on a trip

Hi Emma,
I’m so excited! Next weekend I’m going on a trip with my classmates to the mountains. We’ll stay in a small
cabin near a lake and go hiking, take pictures, and cook together. I’ve never been there before, so I can’t
wait to see the view and breathe the fresh air. I’ll tell you everything when I come back!
Love,
John

Your email:

Dear Max,

Thanks for your email! I like playing the guitar. It’s very relaxing for me. I usually play twice a week at 5 p.m.
with my cousin at his house. Yesterday evening we learned a new song together. It was so much fun!
Tomorrow we’re going to practice again.

Love,
(Your name)

Email – A special day with your family

Dear Emma,

Last month I had a wonderful day with my family. We went to the beach together. My parents, my sister, and
I played volleyball and swam in the sea. Then we had ice cream and watched the sunset. It was special
because we laughed a lot and felt really happy.

Love,
John

Paragraph – My favorite animal

My favorite animal is the dog. It lives in many places, but I have one at home. Dogs eat meat and dog food,
and they can run very fast. I like dogs so much because they are friendly, loyal, and always happy to see
you. They make great friends

Story – It started to rain heavily

I was walking in the park last Sunday, enjoying the sunshine and the sound of the birds. Suddenly, dark
clouds appeared and it started to rain very heavily. I didn’t have an umbrella, so I ran to a big tree to stay
dry. My clothes were soaked, but I couldn’t stop laughing. It was cold, but the moment felt surprisingly fun
and refreshing.
