Important tips for writing a letter:
1. Start the letter with the greeting. As this is a letter to the friend start it in a friendly way- Hi, Hello, Dear….
2. In paragraph 1 mention ask how he is and explain why you are writing. (You have noticed that he looks unhealthy, speculate why it is so.)
3. In paragraph 2 write about sport that can help him. (You should speak only about one kind of sport.) In this paragraph speak about one reason why it can help him.
4. In paragraph 3 you can write about the second reason why this sport useful for him.
5. Finish the letter with the excuse why you have to stop writing.
