требования к объему письма - 100-140 слов. Не пишите
лишних подробностей. Помните, что обязательные повторяемые элементы письма - адрес, обращение (Dear…), благодарность за полученное письмо (Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you), заключительные фразы (типа Write soon. Best wishes) и ваше имя в конце письма уже составляют около 20 слов. Заучите эти фразы и зрительно запомните схему расположения частей письма.
