 | Here’s a photo of a spinner rack of postcards in Berlin, taken by Shawndra and Simon. I think I like picking out postcards more than I like writing them! I have a bad habit of buying postcards and then forgetting to mail them. If you’re interested in writing a postcard through PostCrossing, you might want to know how to write a polite and friendly postcard in English. It’s easy! There’s not much space on the card, so you can only write a few lines. With PostCrossing, you would be writing a postcard to a stranger. In that case, you could write something like the below example. Of course, the underlined sections would depend on you. |
Dear Hans Schmidt,
My name is Clarissa Ryan. I am an English teacher and I love to read and surf the web. I live in Fremont, California, USA, which is a medium-sized city about 1 hour away from San Francisco. The image on this postcard is a photo of the San Francisco Bay viewed from the Fremont hills. The best thing about living in Fremont is that it is a very diverse city, so you can easily eat food from India, Afghanistan, China, Japan, Mexico, the Phillipines, etc.
I would love to hear back from you. My return address is: 123 Fake St., Fremont CA 94538, USA.
Here is another example, written for you by my roommate, Jenn:
Dear Bob O’Reilly,
I found this post card and had to send it to someone. It was much too pretty to keep. I hope that you are well and will send me a postcard back.
Sincerely,
Jenn W.
123 Fake St.
Fremont, CA 94538
USA
(Thanks, Jenn!)
Anyway, I hope you’ll give PostCrossing a try.
