To my beloved friend, Aurora.
Hello Aurora, how are you today? Hopefully you are fine. It's been a while since you
left me here alone, huhuhu so sad. My family and I here are missing you a lot.
How is Paris? I guess it's very beautiful. Winter is coming soon right? Ah, I really want to
know how the winter is, but most importantly, please wear warm outfits and don’t get sick.
Anyway, how about your college life? Is it run smoothly as you expected? I guess
you will be the best in the class because you are the smartest one haha. Oh, By the way, I
will be starting my study in January. I'm very excited about it, because it is the first college
class. I take English Education as my majority.
Okay, I think that's all for now. I want to hear everything about your new life in
Paris. Please don't forget to reply my letter! See you and good luck~

With Love,
Mia

 ASKING AND OBSERVING

A. Personal Letter

Personal letter is a type of letter that usually concerns personal

matters and it is sent from one individual to another such as family members,
relatives and friends. People write and send personal letters for only a small
number of people to read — usually one or two. Writers can send personal
letters for lots of different reasons: short memos for business strategies,
love letters between long-distance sweethearts or even pen pal messages to
foreign exchange students. Senders usually handwrite personal letters, which
emphasize the personal nature of the note.
