1. Your Address:
- Put your address at the top right. Think of it like putting your name on your schoolwork so your teacher knows who it is. You need to tell your friend where you live so they can write back!
- You only need your street address, city, and maybe your zip code. You don't need your full name or anything super personal.
2. The Date:
- Put the date below your address. This helps your friend know when you wrote the letter. It's like putting a date on your homework. You can write it simply, like "October 26, 2023".
3. Greeting:
- Start the letter with Dear + (the name of the person you're writing to). This is how you say hello in a letter! So, if you're writing to your friend Alex, you'd write "Dear Alex,". Make sure to put a comma (,) after their name.
4. The Letter Body (Not on the page, but super important!):
- This is where you write all the news! Tell your friend what you wanted to share. Did you win a soccer game? See a funny movie? This is where you write it all down in your own words. Remember to write like you talk! Use slang if you want, and keep it casual.
5. Closing:
- Finish the letter with Best wishes, + your name. This is how you say goodbye in a friendly letter. You could also use other closings like "Love," or "Talk to you soon," depending on how close you are to the person. Then, you write your name after the comma.
