SAMPLE LETTER
88 Danforth Avenue |
| heading Paterson, New Jersey 07501 |
October 15, 2001 |
| |
Dear Alex, greeting |
| I am a third grade student in Paterson, New Jersey. That is located |
| around 40° North Latitude, 70° West Longitude. Our weather is pretty nice |
most of the year. School starts here in September. It is warm and |
| sunny most of the month, so we get to play outside after lunch. In, body |
January it gets much colder here. Sometimes it gets to be only 15°. |
| Then we have to stay inside and do some quiet activities after lunch. |
I don’t like that very much! What is it like where you live? |
| |
| closing Your friend, |
| Kevin signature |
