Practice makes perfect 4a Look at the task and write the message. Use the expressions from the Writing Bank and the abbreviations from 3.
You've just gone to visit your friend at his home because he hasn't been at school for two days. He's just gone out to the chemist's. You don't have your mobile phone so you leave him a message. Include this information:
• find out how he is
• find out what he has done in the last two days
• tell him what you've done at school
• tell him some news about one or two of your friends.
While waiting for you, I thought it would be a good idea to leave you a message to catch up. Firstly, I wanted to ask about your health and well-being. It's important to know how you are doing and if there's anything I can do to help. Please let me know when you get a chance to reply.
Secondly, I'm also curious to know what you've been up to in the last couple of days. I reckon you must have had some interesting experiences or stories to share. Feel free to give me a detailed update so that we can catch up properly when we see each other.
On my end, school has been quite eventful. We had a math test yesterday, and I'm happy to inform you that I managed to solve all the problems correctly. I also participated in a group science project, where we conducted a series of experiments. It was both educational and enjoyable. I can't wait to share more about it with you.
Lastly, I want to share some news about a few of our friends. Firstly, I bumped into Mark yesterday, and he mentioned that he's planning a surprise birthday party for his sister next week. It's going to be a blast, I'm sure! Additionally, Sarah recently joined the school choir and is absolutely loving it. She has a beautiful voice, and I can't wait to watch her perform.
That's all for now, [Friend's Name]. I hope this message finds you soon and that we can meet up soon to catch up in person. Take care and see you soon!
Best regards,
[Your Name]
