Emails
I can write a narrative email using because and so.
THINK! What kinds of accidents can happen to skiers?
Hi Matt,
Thanks for your email. How's it going? What are you going to do this weekend?
Guess what? I cannot go out with you at least in the next 6 weeks. I had an accident yesterday. What a bad luck! I broke my leg while I was skiing. It was snowing, so I couldn't see. I hit a tree terribly. My dad called the rescue services because my left leg really hurt. They arrived quickly and took me to the nearest hospital by helicopter. I had an operation last night. Now I am lying in bed with my leg in the air, so I cannot move. I'm really bored.
Take care and write back soon,
Clare
