Subject: Points for better communication
Hi Amy,
It is a good thing that you emailed me. I just read an article about better
communication a few days ago. I have some points which you can use for your essay.
First, you must stop to think before you speak. Think of what you want to say before
you say it. Once you say something, you cannot take it back. The article also said that eye
contact is important. You must look a person in the eye when you talk. This shows that you
are an honest individual. You will also get the persons attention when you look them in the
eye.
Another point you can include in your essay is to state your opinions in simple short
sentences. This helps the listener understand your message easily. If you use difficult
words or long sentences, the listener may get confused or lose interest.
I remember another point. You must not talk all the time during conversation. You
must also listen. You need to show interest in listening to what the other person is saying as
well. I totally agree with this.
Amy, I hope the tips are useful and you can add them to the ones you already have. I
have to go now, bye.
Happy writing.
Your friend,
Suzane

: My Holiday

Hi Mom,
Grandad has been keeping me busy with lots of activities. The day after I arrived, we cycled to
his friendss house. His friend took us on a ride on his boat. As I tried to get into the boat, I fell
with a big splash. It was quite embarrassing.
We sped across the sea and stopped near an island. Grandad showed me some eagles flying
above us. His friend threw some pieces of bread into the water and the eagles swooped and
grabbed the food with their claws. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
That night, grandad set up the grill in the garden. Then, grandma and I barbecued some fish and
prawns. Grandads friend and his family joined us for dinner too. I have never had so much
seafood before! Tomorrow, grandad, grandma and I are going to Kampung Chini. It is a fishing
village on stilts. I cant wait! Hope everyone at home is well. See you next week.
