Hi Luis,

How are you? I want to tell you about a marvelous book I just read. It’s called Extraordinary Women. I think it’s amazing. The characters are very well developed, and the plot twists surprised me every single time.

What’s your favourite TV show? Why do you like it? Tell me about it!

See you soon,

John

StructureExample
Greeting Dear John,
Opening It’s nice to hear from you, and I’m happy to answer to your questions.
Main paragraph 1 My favourite show is called ‘Cooking Challenge’. I must say it’s a great show. In this programme, there are some contestants and they must cook a meal for the judges. Then, the judges taste the dishes and decide which is the best. The winner receives a prize of 500€.
Main paragraph 2 I like it because, as you know, I love cooking, so with this programme I can learn how to prepare food in different ways. However, some recipes are quite difficult to learn.
Closing Well, I have to go now. Let me know about your favourite show, too.
Goodbye Best wishes,
Signature Luis
