Example:
Dear Davida,
I had a great week. The weather was warm but not too hot. This week to practice reading, I went to the library with my kids and checked out a book about butterflies with beautiful pictures. To practice writing, I practiced typing for 15 minutes on Typing Club on Tuesday and Thursday. It was fun! To practice listening, I listened to music by the Beatles and read the lyrics. I also sang along! To practice speaking, I introduced myself to my next door neighbor and had a short conversation about his family, dog, and garden. I told him about my family and my country. I was very nervous to talk to him, but he was so nice. I’m going to share some food from my country with him the next time I see him. To practice technology, I set up my PCC email on my.pcc.edu. I had to choose a password. I wrote it down so I won’t forget it. I had a lot of emails to read!
See you tomorrow,
Maria
