| Greeting | Hi Jane! |
| Opening | How are you? I hope you're well. I want to tell you about last Saturday… it was amazing! It was one of the best days I can remember. |
| Body (paragraph 1 + paragraph 2 + question) | Last Saturday, I went on a trip with my family to a beautiful village in Mallorca called Valldemossa. The village is in the mountains and it's very quiet and beautiful. The houses are old and the streets are small and nice. We walked around the village, visited a museum and ate delicious Mallorcan food. I took lots of photos! The weather was sunny and warm, so it was perfect. I really loved the trip. Have you ever been to Valldemossa? |
