Samples e-mail writing to a friend about my school

 Dear Steven,

I am in the fifth form. Our classroom is on the second floor of the school. There are twenty-one desks in the classroom and two pupils sit at each desk.The teacher’s desk is in the front of the pupils’ desks. The blackboard is on the wall to the left of teacher. The chalk and the duster are in a box near the blackboard.There are four very large windows on the side of the room opposite to the door. We open the windows during the break between lessons.There are portraits on the wall over the blackboard. There are pictures and maps hanging on the walls in the classroom.There are lamps hanging above the desks. In winter it gets dark early so we turn on the light.We begin our lessons at 12.05. We have five lessons a day. We have a short 10-minute break between lessons, but we have a long 20-minute break between the second and third lessons. During the long break we go to the dining-room and have lunch. We finish our lessons at ten minutes past five.
Convey my regards to your parents.
Yours sincerely,
Alex

Dear Olga,

I want to write you about my future career.

I am a school-leaver and this year I am finishing school. When you leave school, you understand that the time to choose your future profession has come. It is not an easy task to choose the right job for you.

There are a lot of different professions and it is really hard to choose the one, which would be interesting for you and will help you earn your living. Generally, I think that choosing the right job is the main question not only for a school-leaver, but also for all the family.

I would like to become a teacher.

In my opinion, to be a teacher is not an easy task because you need not only to love children, but you also should have an ability to explain things clearly, know your subject profoundly and be an all around person. Though this is not the easiest task, I am sure that I have got almost all necessary qualities to become a really good teacher.

Nowadays it is very important to know a foreign language, especially English. More and more people need qualified teachers to teach them today. I understand that this profession is greatly demanded and that is why I would like to become an English teacher. This year I am going to enter the department of foreign languages at the local University.

I wait for the letter with impatience.

Best wishes,

Yana

Dear Ben,

Thank you for your recent letter. It was nice to hear from you. I hope you’re okay.

In your letter you asked me about exams. Well, I have chosen Biology and Chemistry. These are very interesting and informative subjects. I prefer oral exams to written ones because I can easily learn the tickets by heart and retell them. I also do some tests in these subjects. I can pass the exams well. In the evening I read my text-books until it is time to go to bed.

Actually, I have to stop now because I’ve got a lot of homework to do. Give my regards to your family. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Yana

Dear Emily,  
Thank you for your letter. It was great to hear about your new house. 
As for my new school it's very big! It has three computer rooms and wonderful sport facilities. Actually, it seems a nice place and I enjoy studying there. The kids in my class are very friendly.   
I've already made some new friends and often meet after classes.                     
I've got only one new subject this year. It's Economics and I'm beginning to think that it's not difficult, after all! 
By the way, what music styles do you enjoy? Have you got any favorite bands? Would you like to go to their concert? As for me, I prefer Radiohead. They are cool!
I'd better go now. 
Lots of love,           
 Ann
