Activities

Write an informal letter to a friend incorporating all the discussed elements. Focus on using contractions, colloquial expressions, and phrasal verbs. Peer Review: Exchange letters with a classmate and provide feedback on the use of linguistic elements. Oral Practice: Read your letter aloud to practice pronunciation, intonation, and fluency.

Writing Exercise:
  • Discussion: Discuss how different phrasal verbs and colloquial expressions can change the tone and feel of a letter.
  • Descriptive Language
