Writing an essay occupies one of the key positions in the modern education system. In the educational process, compositions with elements of description, reasoning are widely represented. But work in the epistolary genre is practically not paid attention to.
Instructions
Step 1
The writing-writing has a number of specific features. It begins with a greeting and contains in its structure standard forms of etiquette (at the beginning, a greeting, informing about the addressee's affairs, and at the end, a wish of success and goodbye).
Step 2
When you start writing a letter to a friend, add to the list of these features a peculiar lexical structure, at times approaching the colloquial style of speech. If you decide to write a letter to a friend, then at some points you can use simple syntactic constructions (for example, "how are you?", "I wish I could meet!", Etc.).
Step 3
But experimenting with the structure of such an essay is not worth it. Maintain a clear narrative order. Don't rush to tell about yourself right away. After greeting, ask your friend how they are doing. Then write that you are missing such a wonderful person next to you, and you want to meet as soon as possible. And only then start listing the most significant events in your life.
Step 4
When telling a friend the latest news in a letter, keep in mind that your friend is away from you, so the data and information that you have may not be known to him at all. Please provide explanations to help the recipient friend understand your story. For example, "Natasha and I (this is my brother's classmate) went to the movies."
Step 5
If you and a friend lived in the same city for a long time, and then he left for a long period, then describe the significant changes that have occurred in your small homeland (the opening of large cultural centers, the construction of bridges, etc.)
Step 6
Be sure to include your thoughts and assessment of the events described in the essay-letter to a friend. After all, this is not just the transfer of information, but friendly communication.
Step 7
A letter to a friend is a type of work where you can fully reveal your own individuality and the beauty of your idiostyle. Therefore, do not try to imitate famous authors. The style of your essay should generally correspond to your manner of communication, otherwise, you simply may not be recognized. But remember that the use of colloquial constructions must be stylistically and functionally justified.
