Writing 1 ( a letter to a pen-friend)

A letter to a pen-friend is an informal letter. We always start our letter with Dear and our friend’s first name . In the first paragraph (introduction) we write our first name, country of origin and some information about our family. The main body usually consists of two paragraphs. In the second paragraph we describe ourselves. In the third paragraph we write our likes and/or dislikes. Each paragraph starts with a topic sentence i.e. a sentence which introduces the topic of the paragraph. In the last paragraph (conclusion) we write our closing remarks. We end our letter with Best wishes and our first name .

Fill in the correct sentence
