Writing a holiday postcard

One of the last things you hear from your friends or neighbours as you go away on holiday is "Send us a postcard!"

It's one of those great holiday traditions, almost as "British" as a bucket and a spade on a beach. We send postcards (often on the last day of the holiday) to tell our friends what a great time we're having.

Holiday postcards have three main characteristics. They're short, positive (even if it's raining) and predictable in their content.

Here's a quick guide to writing a postcard. Choose any one of the adjectives to complete your sentences.

Hi (name of friend / neighbour / colleague)

We're having a great / wonderful / fantastic / fabulous time here in ......
The weather is hot / sunny / perfect and we're spending our days on the beach / sightseeing / relaxing / exploring the local area / by the pool.

The food is interesting / spicy / pretty good and the other people hare are (nationality), friendly / unfriendly / great.

See you on (day you get back)

Love/Wish you were here/ Best wishes
(your name)

Chọn một thành phố. Hãy tưởng tượng bạn vừa đến thành phố đó và muốn nói với bạn bè của bạn về điều đó. Viết bưu thiếp cho bạn bè của bạn.

We’re having a good time here in Ho Chi Minh City, but the weather isn’t very nice. It rained almost every day, many streets were flooded. So I limited to go out. And there were too many traffic jams. There are many vehicles at rush hours and traffic jams occur frequently. It was more terrible when it rained heavily. However I also had great time when visiting some places. I went camping in Suoi Tien Park, I swam shallow in the artificial sea. If you went the War Remnants Museum and Reunification Palace, you would see a lot of physical reminders of the past. My feeling is very great and very difficult to describe. My period in Ho Chi Minh City was short and because of objective reasons, so I only visited those places. Tell you something, when I come back, we talk to each other more.

Yours sincerely,

Vy

Dear Minh !

How are you doing? I'm writing to you from Kołobrzeg at the Polish Seaside. I'm there with my family. We have a great time, though the weather isn't so good, as we'd like. Therefore we spent our first day on a campside, where we are staying. Yesterday morning we climbed up to the lighthouse and the view were really great. And in the afternoon we went to the beach, where we were sunbathing and we were having a bath in the Sea. Tomorrow we're taking a treepboat on the lake next to our campside and in the evening we are going shoping and then eating ice-cream. On Saturday we're buying some suvenires and on Sunday we're coming back home. Anyway, I'll tell you everything, when you will arrive to me next week. Hope to see you! Bye for now!

Best wishes

Dear Mom and Dad,
Greetings from the enchanting city of Prague! The weather here is simply lovely, with clear skies and a gentle breeze. I've spent my days wandering through charming cobblestone streets, exploring majestic castles, and indulging in delicious pastries at local cafes. Tomorrow, I'm planning to take a boat ride along the Vltava River and visit the renowned Charles Bridge. Sending you all my love and wishing you were here to share this incredible experience with me.
Take care,
Linda
