How to write an informal letter

Imagen
  We are social beings and we need to communicate among ourselves, we can do it in many different ways but since the beginning of civilizations people have written to their friends or family members in letters.  Then in the nineteenth century after the invention of telegraph and telephone people could communicate quickly and also converse orally but in the twentieth century and onwards we also share our personal experiences, opinions, information not only using the written words in letters or postcards but also by e-mails that are sent to our relatives or friends.  These informal letters can be quite short or long and they can be creative, sensitive or emotional which depends on the purpose of it and the person addressed. The language can be colloquial and contain contractions, neologisms, etc. and though they can be quite open and imaginative, there is an essential pattern to comply for informal letters:

You have to write down a realistic plan and always keep a diary of your meals, workouts and routines for you to avoid the excess or any oblivion or unaccomplished norm or procedure in your schedule. -do not skip meals nor starve at any time because you will guzzle at last and eat it up once the many meals you have skipped.

  There are eight parts of speech in English and almost in any language such as nouns, verbs, pronouns, prepositions, adjectives, interjections, conjunctions and adverbs.  Nouns are the words which refer to abstract or concrete things, concepts, animals, places or persons. They form the basic vocabulary in any language and they are essential in any language. At the beginning of humanity the nouns were written down by means of basic pictures which depicted the meaning of the noun in a drawing coloured or not as we can see in hyeroglyphes, then humans created more basic signs to mean the words they described the world around them, thus we have Sumerian, Celtic or Phoenician alphabets from which the latter Greek and Latin   alphabets derived.   Nouns are usually divided in English in proper because they refer to a specific person, animal or thing such as a river, mountain, country, town, etc. or common nouns to name common objects, animals or people such as coat, tree, lion, girl, man,
