This is a list of words that you can use for composing e-mails. Depending on the theme you want the students to write about, they can choose words from the list and use them in their letters. You can, of course, together with your partner school, decide to change the order in which the themes are set. What is most important is that the project starts with an introduction letter and ends with a goodbye letter. Tip 1. Make clear arrangements with your partner school about the order in which the different themes are dealt with. Tip 2. Give your students a maximum number of words that they may use for writing their letters. Tip 3. Make sure that your partner school uses the same general rules for letter-writing. Use a dictionary if necessary! Introduction If you like you could send picture of yourself… Dear ..............., In this letter I would like to introduce myself to you.
