Writing an essay occupies one of the key positions in the modern education system. In the educational process, compositions with elements of description and reasoning are widely represented. But the work in the epistolary genre is almost not paid attention.
Instruction manual
1
The writing-writing has a number of specific features. It begins with a greeting and contains in its structure standard forms of etiquette (at the beginning of a greeting, information about the affairs of the addressee, and in the end, a wish for success and farewell).
2
Starting to write a letter to a friend, add a peculiar lexical system to the list of these features, at times approaching the conversational style of speech. If you decide to write a letter to a friend, then at some points you can use simple syntactic constructions (for example, “how are you?”, “I wish I could meet!” And others).
3
But experimenting with the structure of such an essay is not worth it. Follow a clear storyline. Do not rush to tell about yourself right away. After the greeting, ask a friend how he is doing. Then write that you are missing such a wonderful person nearby, and you want to meet as soon as possible. And only then begin to list the most significant events from your life.
4
When telling the latest news in a letter to a friend, keep in mind that your friend is away from you, so the data and information that you have may not be known to him at all. To make the recipient understand your story, provide explanations. For example, "Natasha and I (this is my brother's classmate) went to the movies."
5
If you and your friend lived in the same city for a long time, and then he left for a long period, then describe the significant changes that have occurred in your small homeland (the opening of large cultural centers, the construction of bridges, etc.)
6
Be sure to include your thoughts and assessment of the events described in the writing-letter to a friend. After all, this is not just a transfer of information, but friendly communication.
7
A letter to a friend is a type of work where you can most fully reveal your own personality and the beauty of your idiostyle. Therefore, do not try to imitate famous authors. The style of your composition should generally correspond to your style of communication, otherwise, you simply may not be recognized. But remember that the use of colloquial constructions should be stylistically and functionally justified.
