WRITE A LETTER TO A FRIEND WHOM YOU HAVEN’T SEEN FOR A LONG TIME
Sit down quietly and think of an old friend or relative whom you have not seen in a long time.
Share your life with your friend by writing a letter to this person.
Tell him or her about some of the important things that have happened to you in your life since you last saw him or her. Before you write your letter, make some notes about two or three of the most important changes in your life. Perhaps one of the changes is your moving to a new country. Perhaps another is your adjusting to a new life which is different from the old life that you knew – what is different?
Perhaps you have returned to school or have a new love or even a child has been born to you. Perhaps you are working in a new job. Or, perhaps you have changed a lot from the person you once were. Maybe you have lost a family member. Perhaps there are happy or sad things you want to tell that person. Have you had some funny experiences that you wish to share?
What are the important things you want to tell your friend?
As you write, imagine that your friend is in the same room with you and that you are having a conversation together. Perhaps you have a photograph of your friend that you can look at while you are writing your letter to your friend. What would you say to that friend or relative?
Share your letter with us if you wish.
