Letter writing is the most widely spread type of written speech exercise. The acquired language input and interests of students determine topical range of letter writing. Before writing a letter, students are usually given a pattern letter in English. It shows the way the English start their letters and end them up. The following tasks may be suggested for this purpose:

· Write a letter to your friend who lives in another town.

· Write a letter to your parents who are away from home.

· Write a letter to a person you want to be your pen friend. Etc.

At the senior stage, some methodologists recommend to write annotations.
