Carta informal (Inglés)

Todos debemos preocuparnos por tener los conocimientos mínimos, para poder saber escribir, una o varias cartas tipo, y entre ellas, la carta informal.

Escribir una carta informal puede parecernos, una tarea harto complicada, y aun más, si debemos hacerlo en ingles y no poseemos los conocimientos suficientes. 

Pues bien, no debemos asustarnos al escribir, todo el mundo tiene dentro a su escritor, y solo necesita, ponerse en contacto con él.

Como debemos comenzar y terminar una carta informal, es algo que está definido desde hace mucho tiempo, incluso, existen plantillas redactadas, (la mayoría de los procesadores de texto las tienen) a las que solo hay que ponerles el nombre de la persona y la dirección de la misma.

Nosotros, vamos a redactar una carta informal en inglés, haciendo uso, de las reglas establecidas para tal fin. Espero que esta plantilla de carta informal (escrita en inglés), os sea de gran ayuda a la hora de redactar la vuestra.

Wednesday 2^th June

Dear Cousin Jimmy,

I hope you are well. All the family is fine here. I’m sorry, I didn’t write you the last weekend because I went to the village with the grandparents, and there isn’t any computer there.

I’ve just all my exams and I have passed all the subjects. I’ve got really good results in English and history. My mum said she would allow me to go to the Alejandro Sanz concert if I passed all my exams. Now, she thinks that she didn’t have to say that.

Did I tell you about my friend Roberto? He won the Andalucía championship of skateboarding, and he is going to go to the Spain championship, with the best skaters of the country. He is very exciting now, and he trains everyday so hard, that trains up to five hours, then I don’t pass much time with him now. I am passing some really boring days, because we go everywhere together.

I am really looking forward to the summer. I’m going to go to the beach in Almeria with my parents and my brother. After that we are going to go to the village with the grandparents and the uncles and aunts. Are you going to come to the village this summer?

Hope to see you in the village soon.

Love,

        Your name.
