A THANK- YOU LETTER
Dear Angie,
I am writing to say how much I enjoyed staying with you and your
family, and to thank you for your hospitality. I have had a good flight
home, and my parents and sisters were waiting at the airport to meet
me. There was so much news to tell to them that we stayed up talking
until long after the midnight! They were extremely interested to see
through all my photographs, especially the ones of you and yourr family.
I have been trying to persuade them to visit England in next year so that
they can meet you. I know you would all get on with very well together.
I must say that it's nice to be home again and speaking my own
language, but I'm afraid I may forget all the English I had learnt while
I was staying with you . So I'm planning to write to you regularly
as a way of practicing. I'm sure of I'll make lots of mistakes and it
would be helpful if you could correct the worst ones.
Please write soon. I'm looking forward to your news.
Make clauses of concession with WHATEVER.
1. No matter what happens, don't forget to write to me.
2. She will refuse to consider our proposal even if we made any kinds of effort to persuade her.
3. No matter what kinds of exercises he had taken, he was still putting on weight.
4. No matter what sorts of difficulties you may encounter, you should keep your promise.
5. No matter what he says, nobody believes him.
6. You should review all your lessons before taking your exam although you have any kinds of difficulties.
7. Although he had taken any kinds of exercises, he got fatter and fatter.
8. You should always study hard although you encounter difficulties.
9. Although others may say anything, she is certainly right.
10. Although he chose any job, his parents were pleased with him.
