Вчимо англійську вдома. 7 клас. Урок 60. Making Postcards

A postcard or post card is a rectangular piece of thick paper or thin cardboard intended for writing and mailing without an envelope. Non-rectangular shapes may also be used. There are novelty exceptions, such as wooden postcards, copper postcards sold in the Copper Country of the U.S. state of Michigan, and coconut "postcards" from tropical islands.

Sending postcards to friends, family, or loved ones during travel can be a great way to show your affection, as well as giving people an idea of where you are.

Formatting Your Postcard

Pick out a postcard that represents famous building. One of the best parts of postcard writing is picking out the postcard image.

Write a message on the back of the postcard, on the left side. Flip the postcard over. You will see a vertical line down the middle of the card, with a blank space on the left, and a lined space on the right. Write your desired recipient's address on the lined space to the right of the line. This includes their full name, address, area code, state, and country.

Do not write on the front of the postcard, as the postal service won’t look for information on the front.

Place the stamp on the top right of the postcard in within the outlined box on the top right of the postcard.

Write the date on the top-left corner on the back of the postcard. This is a great way for people to reminiscence later on in life when revisiting your postcard. Under or above the date, you can also write the city or specific place you are writing from. For example, you could write:

July 4, 2017

Grand Canyon, Arizona

Greet the recipient on the left side.

If you want to be formal, write: “Dear, (name)."

If you want to be less formal, you could start with “Hello, (name)!"

Write your message on the left side. Postcards are exciting because of the restrictions that are put on your writing, as the message must be short and sweet. While writing on the left side of the postcard, be sure to give yourself enough space and plan what you are going to write.

After writing your message, do not forget to sign your name on the bottom left of the postcard, too.

Writing the Postcard

Include information about:

What kind of building is it?

Where is it?

What does this structure look like?

Who built it?
When was it built?
What is it famous for?
What kind of entertainment is there?
