GENERAL RULES FOR THE EMAIL EXCHANGE
Your first letter to Canada
You are going to use
the Internet to meet people from another country, Canada. Using the computer
for writing and sending letters is a very fast way to communicate. It is faster
than ordinary mail which some people who use the Internet jokingly call "snail
mail". The idea behind the project is to
give you a good idea of your epal's personality and
background, and to learn a lot about his or her country.
By writing
letters, you will get to know someone who may, in some ways, be different from
you. But after a while, you will find out that you have a lot in common too,
even if you live thousands of miles apart.
What to write about...
In this first
letter, you are going to introduce
yourself to your epal.
These are some of
the things you have to write in the first letter: name, age, sex, family, background,
character, appearance, interests and hobbies.
Examples of sentences:
Here are some
sentences you can use. You must fill in with your personal details. Of course,
you can put in much more information.
·Hello !

this letter I will introduce myself to you.
·I
