Dear …………,

I hope this email finds you well. Last week, I went to visit my cousins in
…………….. . We set off from our house in the early hours of the morning. At 9
o’clock, we arrived at our destination.
My cousins and I went to visit a farm. We saw many animals there and
took photos with them. We even had the chance to feed some of the animals.
It was a great experience! After visiting the farm, we went to have lunch at a
nearby restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious.
In the evening we went to my cousins’ house and had dinner there. Then,
we watched a film on television and played some board games. At 10 o’clock
at night, my family and I made our way back home.
So, what have you been up to recently?

Your friend,
Amy

 Writing a speech
Good afternoon to my dear teachers and fellow friends.
Today, I will be giving a speech about…………..(My
Christmas Holiday/ My Best Friend/ My City/ My
Favourite Hobby/ My Favourite Sport).
My favourite hobby is painting. I usually paint on
Sundays at home. I have been painting since I was 5 years
old and I enjoy it because it is a relaxing activity. …
After I finish painting, I display my artwork in my
bedroom and around my house. My parents think my
artwork is very creative. I will continue to paint as a
hobby and I hope to enter an art competition in the
future.

As you may be aware, the Asiatic lion is at risk of becoming extinct.
2nd paragraph
The Asiatic lion has a few characteristics which distinguish them from other
lions. Firstly…..
3rd paragraph
Personally, I believe it is vital to protect this endangered species. Like all
animals. When an animal becomes extinct………

4th paragraph
Although it may seem impossible to save these creatures, there is
something we can do to contribute our help. For example, we can raise
awareness of the Asiatic lion by organising an endangered species fair,
where members of the community can learn more about the animals. Not
only that, money can be raised and donated to animal sanctuaries.

What Is Active Voice?

I'll start with active voice because it's simpler. In an active sentence, the subject is
doing the action. A straightforward example is the sentence "Steve loves Amy." Steve
is the subject, and he is doing the action: he loves Amy, the object of the sentence.

Another example is the title of the Marvin Gaye song “I Heard It through the
Grapevine.” "I" is the subject, the one who is doing the action. "I" is hearing "it," the
object of the sentence.

What Is Passive Voice?

In passive voice, the target of the action gets promoted to the subject position.
Instead of saying, "Steve loves Amy," I would say, "Amy is loved by Steve." The subject
of the sentence becomes Amy, but she isn't doing anything. Rather, she is just the
recipient of Steve's love. The focus of the sentence has changed from Steve to Amy.

An anecdote is:
• a little story that writers use to enrich their
articles.
• flavouring articles by adding a human quality
to them, by giving inside information about
small things that actually happened to people,
and often by giving insights into human
frailties, characteristics, and qualities
 Opening statement

specific "angle" should be clear. In this way you will tell
your reader why your take on the issue matters.
Original thesis: In this paper, I will discuss the
relationship between fairy tales and early childhood.
Revised thesis: Not just empty stories for kids,
fairy tales shed light on the psychology of young children.
Original thesis: We must save the whales.
Revised thesis: Because our planet's health may
depend upon biological diversity, we should save the
whales.
