Which of the phrases below can be used at the end of the letter to a friend?

Read the beginning of the letter and answer the question:

Dear Sabrina

Thanks for your letter and it was great to hear from you. You asked me to tell you about my favourite day of the week. Well, it’s definitely Friday.

Read the text and choose if the sentences are true or false?

One reason I like Fridays is because I have my favourite subjects at school: PE and chemistry. Chemistry’s great because we do experiments in the science lab and our teacher, Mr King, is so funny. In PE we usually play basketball, which is my favourite sport. I’m good at it because I’m quite tall. Our team usually wins.

Read the next part of the letter and choose if the sentences are true or false?

We also have French on Fridays, which is actually my least favourite subject, but after that we have ICT which is much more interesting. At the moment I’m creating a webpage for our basketball team. After school I hang out with my friends, and then in the evening I play football at the sports centre. On Friday nights we sometimes go to someone’s house for a party or to watch a DVD. We can relax a bit on Friday evenings because there’s no school on Saturday.

Read the end of the letter to Sabrina and answer the questions below:

Tell me about your favourite day in your next letter. Hope to hear from you soon.

Love
Dani
