Letter Writing Practice

Read the two letters, solve the editing clues, then plan and write a friendly letter. Check that your greeting, message and closing match your purpose.

A letter with a purpose

Tane is writing to her cousin about a beach clean-up. Notice how each part helps the reader.

12 Kauri Lane Ōamaru 9400 8 May Kia ora Hana, Last Saturday, my family and I joined a beach clean-up at the harbour. We filled three rubbish bags, and I found a tiny crab hiding under a piece of driftwood. It was exciting to help keep the beach safe for wildlife. Have you ever helped with a clean-up? Maybe we could join one together next time you visit. Write back soon! Your cousin, Tane

1.In Tane’s letter, copy the greeting, one sentence from the main message, and the closing. Label each one.

2.Why did Tane write this letter? Choose the best answer.

To invite Hana to a birthday party
To tell Hana about the beach clean-up and suggest doing one together
To ask Hana to lend her a book

3.What does Tane’s letter suggest about how she feels about the clean-up? Give one clue from the letter.

Edit the reply

Aisha has written back, but his letter needs repairs. Use the clues in the next questions.

dear Tane Thanks for telling me about the clean-up I like helping animals too. Please let me know when the next one is from Aisha

4.Rewrite Aisha’s greeting with correct capitalisation and punctuation.

5.Add the missing full stops and question mark to Aisha’s message: “Thanks for telling me about the clean-up I like helping animals too Please let me know when the next one is”

6.Which closing best suits a friendly letter from Aisha to Tane?

Yours faithfully,
From your friend,
To whom it may concern,

7.Improve Aisha’s message by adding one friendly sentence that asks Tane a question about the clean-up.

Your letter challenge

Imagine a relative or friend has sent you a packet of native wildflower seeds. Write a thank-you letter that tells them what you appreciate and what you plan to do with the seeds.

8.Jot down your recipient, two details to include, and one question you could ask them. Use ideas that would make your letter personal and clear.

9.Write a friendly letter of about 6–10 sentences. Include a greeting, a clear thank-you, specific details, a question, and a suitable closing with your name.

10.Use this checklist to review your letter: Have you included a greeting, a clear message, one question, and a closing? Check capitals and punctuation. Write one change you made or one feature you are proud of.
