What's in the worksheet

4 ordering questions - Dear Nan, > How are you? > See you soon. > Your friend, Fah - My name is Fah. > I am twelve. > I live in Chiang Mai. > I like reading. - I > have > visited > Japan - Write the subject line > Greet the reader > Write the body > Sign your name

How to use it in class

Use before pupils write an email to a pen pal or classmate, 4 minutes in solo mode. - After item 1, point out that Dear is followed by a name and a comma - Items 2 and 4 make a ready writing frame; pupils follow them with their own details Play it linked to a class and the results go into the mark book.

Common sticking points

- Item 1: placing See you soon. after the name or before How are you?, not seeing it as a closing line - Item 3: building I visited have Japan, not yet used to have + past participle - Item 2: swapping I am twelve. and I live in Chiang Mai., which reads fine either way
