Để viết bưu thiếp, trước hết cần tìm hiểu bưu thiếp gì? Bưu thiếp giấy cứng, khổ nhỏ dùng để viết thư ngắn báo tin, chúc mừng, thăm hỏi gửi qua đường bưu điện Bưu thiếp thường có hai mặt, mặt hình ảnh địa người nhận, mặt lại thơng điệp hay nội dung bưu thiếp Cách viết bưu thiếp kì nghỉ Khi nghỉ, em gửi cho người thân bạn bè bưu thiếp để kể quãng thời gian tuyệt vời mà em có Trước hết, nhìn vào bưu thiếp bạn Lan phân tích cách viết bưu thiếp kì nghỉ Các em thấy bố cục bưu thiếp giống thư thường có phần sau: Thời gian viết bưu thiếp Các em viết thời gian viết bưu thiếp đầu Ví dụ: October 5th (Ngày tháng 10) Lời chào hỏi Lời chào đầu bưu thiếp thường bắt đầu với Dear/Hi/Hello + tên người, Ví dụ: Dear Dad and Mum, (Bố mẹ thân mến,) Nội dung Ở phần em có thể: Viết cảm nhận chung địa điểm nghỉ Có thể dùng mẫu câu: I'm/We're having a great/ wonderful/ fantastic/ fabulous time here + giới từ + địa danh!

Liệt kê điều em làm Thì thích hợp sử dụng đặt câu khứ hồn thành Ví dụ: We've gone for a swim all day and had a barbecue dinner with full of seafood on the beach (Chúng bơi ngày có bữa tối đồ nướng với đầy đủ loại hải sản bờ biển.)

(Các em đâu?), When? (Các em đến nào?), Who? (Các em ai?), What? (Các em làm gì?), How?
