    such as family members, friends, classmates or pen friends.
     So, you can write a personal letter to your parents, brother or sister, close friends, friends who
    once lived near you, and others.

    Personal Letters are used to establish relationships with other people through
    writing. Nowadays, with the progress of the times, correspondence is rarely used
    in communication because it has been replaced by faster and more sophisticated
    communication tools. The use of letters is still widely used in areas that have not
    used many electronic communication tools. The structure of a personal letter
    includes: the place and date the letter was written, address, greeting and name,
    opening, body, closing, closing greeting and signature. The linguistic elements
    you learn include familiar expressions commonly used in personal letters, singular
    and plural nouns with or without a, the, this, those, my, their, etc., as well as
    pronunciation, word stress, intonation, spelling, punctuation, and handwriting.
