Informal letter
I’m doing a school project on the kind of things that people do to relax. Can you tell
me what you do to relax and whether there’s a special place that you go to? Do you
need it to be very quiet or do you prefer a bit of noise? Let me know.
Write soon, Sarah.
Dear Sarah,
How are you? Thanks for your letter.
It was great to hear from you again after three months. I got your letter and I was surprised
to hear about your school project. Can you please give me other information about your
project? It looks really interesting.
First of all, I am glad to let you know that the most frequent thing that I do to relax is walking
in the mountains between nature and animals. I love spending my leisure time discovering
new places in the Abruzzo mountains with my friends. The perfect way to relax my mind is
walking in the woods or near a lake. I enjoy organizing adventures and the best moment is
when I arrive on top of the mountain and I lie down on the grass, I raise my eyes to the sky
and I listen to the quiet and the silence. Therefore I prefer quiet to noise. By the way, do you
choose quiet or noise?
I have got a special place where I can relax, Pescasseroli, especially the wood of the Difesa
where I go when I need to be alone and quiet. The place is amazing and during the walk on
your right you can see the river and on your left the secular beech trees. In the center of this
wood, after 30 minutes of walk, there is a small clearing where you can find a pretty chalet
built by the “alpini”.
Of course you can go on walks, by bike or by horse.
I think that, if I were you, I would like to try this. My advice is to do this experience with other
people by horse because it is a perfect wild moment.
Write to me soon and tell me all about your relax and your special place.
Well, I have to go now. I hope to hear from you soon.
