Hello Anita
How are you? I hope you are ok. I can`t believe my trip is almost over. I came to Easter Island just two weeks ago. I was with a group from the university. We stayed with families that live on the island. We studied the stone statues, called moai, and the cave paintings. I really learned a lot. I am tired, but I loved every minute of my trip.
Take care, Margaret.
PS: On Easter Island, Iorana means “hello”.

Hi, Luis!
How has your vacations been? My Hawaiian vacation just ended, and I am very well rested! I spent my whole vacation at a spa. Every day for a week, I exercised, did yoga, meditated, and ate vegetarian food. I also went swimming and snorkeling. I feel fantastic! I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
Love Debbie.

Dear Michelle,
What have you been up to? Alaska is terrific! I just returned from a trip to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. There were six people on the trip. We camped outside for ten days. Then we took rafts to the Arctic Ocean. I saw a lot of wildlife, including some caribou. Now, I am going to Anchorage.
See you soon!

Then I will ask them about what each person did on her or his vacation. So everybody will have to participate like a whole class.
Then I will explain the structure of a letter, so I will explain them how to write a letter to a friend and I will give to the students a piece of paper which includes :
Heading
In a friendly, informal letter, this is where you write the date. This goes at the top of the page on the right-hand side. You should write at the least the day and month. You may include the day of the week and the year if you choose. Some people write their address here too, but you do not have to.
Greeting
This is where you address your friend for the first time in the letter. It is very similar to greeting someone face to face.
Sample Greetings: Dear Juan, Hello James,
Greetings Simone, Hola Juanita,
Body
The body of the letter is where you communicate with your friend. This is where you ask how they are doing and tell them what you are doing and feeling. In a friendly letter, it is polite to begin by asking your reader about their life. After that, you may tell them something about you.
Sample sentence starters:
Ask about your friend:
How are you?
How has your summer been?
What have you been up to?
Are you playing any sports?
Have you been traveling?
And tell them about you:
I went to Camp.
My summer has been fun.
This summer I…
I have been doing…
With my family, I went to..
Closing and Signature:
The Closing is where you end your letter and say good-bye. After that, you write the Signature (your name).
After that each students will have to write his/her own letter, using simple past, heading, greeting, body, and closing, talking about what they did on her/his vacation to a friend .so they will have to apply their previous knowledge of vocabulary, and grammar, Then each student will have to share his/her letter with some classmate focusing on their speaking, so I will help them to speak fluently , loudly and correctly. After that each of them will have to speak in front of the class about the letter what each student wrote.
How will I assess performance?
They will have to participate, applying their previous knowledge to write and create a letter and then they will have to work in pairs speaking each other about their vacations. After that they will have to speak about the letters that they wrote, presenting it in front of the class . I will focus on rhyme and stress in speaking.
How will I enhance retention?
I will help them to practice their speaking, interacting with them , producing an optima environment, which students can show interesting and motivation.
