Writing: write an email 1 Prepare the text of an email to send to a member of your family. Invite this person to visit you. Remember to: • greet this person at the beginning of your email. • invite him or her to visit you and give details, e.g. date and time. • say what you will do. • send your best wishes and write your name. 2 Revise the text of your email. Show it to another student. Ask him or her to check: • you have included all the necessary information. • you have written the information clearly.
Send an email inviting a friend to visit you.
• Syllables: Before students work on Exercises 1–2, brainstorm words with different numbers of syllables. Say these words aloud, breaking them up into syllables for students to count.
