EXAMPLE

Dear Mrs Lake,

It’s nice to hear from you and I am happy to answer your questions.

I think it’d be a great idea to have a party with the whole class.

Regarding the party, I think we should have our party at the park due to the fact that we’re in the classroom all the time so this would be a nice change.

 

There are some ping pong tables at the park and I can bring my football so why don’t we make teams and have a tournament?

In my opinion, we should have a barbecue. We can bring meat and some drinks like Coca Cola and everyone will be happy. Thanks again and see you in class.

Looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes,

Jane
