Primary 4 15 This is a letter.

• In a letter, we cannot see what is in the previous letter, but from the questions the sender asks we can guess what the recipient has said.

• Figuring out those details that are not in the text is the skill of inference.

19th February Dear Eleanor,

How was the circus? Did you see your favourite animal — the elephant? I went to a circus in Guangzhou last summer and it was great!

Do you like volleyball? I’m a great fan of the sport and I always play in the interschool matches. I want to join the national team when I grow up.

Last time, I wrote that I lived with my parents, but now my aunt from Singapore is back and she is staying with us for at least three months. She’s really good at cooking and we always have great food. Do you have a lot of relatives? What are they like?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Love,

Rachel
