POSTCARD
How to Write a Postcard
1. You may begin and end in any way you like because postcards are informal and
personal.
2. There is not much space in a postcard. So you usually mention just a few things and
use shortened sentence forms.
3. You don’t have to follow strict rules of punctuation. For example, you may use dashes
( - ) instead of full stops or commas to separate ideas.
4. To emphasize words or expressions in a postcard you can use: capital letters,
underlining, exclamation marks.
5. In postcards you often use descriptive words to show you like something or someone
(e.g. wonderful, great, beautiful, exciting, fabulous or bad, miser able, unfriendly and so
on).

Here is a postcard from Bordeaux. Write a letter in the same way about your holidays.
Dear Jill and Steve!
We’re spending a wonderful holiday in Bordeaux. The sun is shining brightly and I’m
thinking about you at home. At the moment Pam’s swimming in the pool, the children are
playing and I’m drinking a lovely cool beer at the hotel bar. It’s all very expensive, but it
isn’t raining.
Love, Jeff, Pam, Mark and Kate
